"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Reagan was NOT a lawyer.

Not a Texas Reagan because Cruz IMO would never have fell for Amnest or raising taxes in exchange for reductions in spending that never came.
This guy is like Reagan with a much higher CPU but equals Reagan in ethics, heart and love of country.
God Bless America.

I’ll wager some here on FR will begin attacking Cruz because of some point or issue that he isn’t 100% perfect on. Rush is talking about this very thing right now.

I have a bad feeling “conservatives” are going to begin turning on Cruz very soon. I believe for some, there will be NO candidate perfect enough, conservative enough to be president.

We’re going to end up handing this election to Hillary or Warren...I just know it.

Excellent, excellent article.

I love Reagan, but he’s dead and not coming back. Reagan’s ghost is causing a lot of problems because people are waiting for him to be reincarnated when there future requires a new kind of conservative.

I like Ted Cruz. Do I think he has the potential to be a great president? Possibly. However, just because his life differs from Reagan’s on this or that doesn’t mean anything.

The irony is I’ll guarantee you come 40 years from now if he ends up rising to the challenge, people will be complaining about how America “needs another Ted Cruz.” and everyone since is a CINO.

What a difference ....
Bush1 .....- “kinder gentler conservative”
Bush2 .....- “ compassionate conseravative”
Cruz ....... - “COURAGEOUS CONSERVATIVE”

Its about time our leaders stop apologizing for American Exceptionalism....and one of the characteristics of America is that we have always been kinder gentler and compassionate! When our Marines go house to house instead of our Air Force flattening a place like Fallujah, it is precisely because we are trying to save every possible human being possible, even if it means giving our lives for our fellow man...EVEN when that persons hates US.

YES ITS TIME FOR COURAGEOUS CONSERVATISM.
