Ted Talks

On the heels of what was a fantastic speech, you would think Ted Cruz had just betrayed everything he believed in.

On the contrary.

Ted Cruz stood up for what he believed in.

Those of us who have supported Cruz for doing exactly that in the Senate… are left wondering what the rest of you thought would happen?

While it would have made terrific TV if Cruz had walked out and said, after releasing his speech earlier which he did, “I endorse Donald Trump for President!” and shut up for the ten minutes of applause, Ted is not about Great TV.

Trump is about great TV.

Which is why he made his unnecessary appearance at the end of Cruz’ speech.

Well… I’m not sure it was great TV. It might have been a bit more sage to ask Ted for a video, like the one Rubio provided, and then determine whether or not to run it.

Cruz stood up for the very principles the rest of us have been searching the words of Donald Trump for. Donald has yet to provide any of us the firm ideological foundation those of us who think about these things daily would like to see, feel, hear… something. Ted Has.

I will vote for Trump only because Clinton is a known entity… and Trump is not.

I will not be voting for Trump because of his well thought out admiration for Enlightenment Governing Theory and his steadfast resolve to promote the individual above a rightly, constitutionally, restricted government.

Want to argue with me? Please do. I invite it.

All this being said… the predictions from the Establishment Republican Mouthpiece Karl Rove that Ted’s career (an elected position I will remind you) is Over, are being tossed around as if Rove had the ability to fire him personally.

What you need to remember, because I know you already know this, is the Establishment RINO wing of the Republican Party HATES Cruz. They Hate Cruz more than they hate Trump. They view Trump as a buffoon, a clown, PT Barnum, a cartoon character who can be manipulated and ‘led’ to the ‘pragmatic’ point of view. They see him as a deal maker, in his own words, and nothing more. Ted on the other hand is an individual who does principled things like not endorse a guy who leveled personal attacks on him and his family when summoned to do so at the GOP Convention. Did you think the guy who filibustered for over 14 hours on the Senate Floor making his opposition clear to the Establishment Republicans that he would not bend a knee to them would do anything else.  You did?  Then you need to think more.

In the end, the Trump crew knew what Ted was going to say. They had the ability to stop it. Instead they permitted Ted the Prime Time spot, in my opinion, with the hopes of embarrassing him.

I’m not entirely sure that happened. But what I do know happened is they put him, I believe intentionally, in a box.  His decisions were limited to three options.  Refuse and look like Kasich… Endorse and be roundly criticized for compromising his values… or refuse to endorse and be roundly criticized for not supporting Trump.  In the end, I do not believe time will paint Cruz as having done anything but give a terrific speech. (Which it was. Don’t think so? Then you’re Trump blind… listen to it, better yet READ IT again. Or, find comfort in your intentional ignorance and remain the ass-hat you are.  It was a great speech.)

Cruz has laid his principles, and his bets, on the table…. brilliantly.

If Trump Wins and turns out to not be what everyone has fantasized about, because no one, not you, not me, not anyone on Earth has direct evidence of anything else… Cruz wins.

If Trump Loses and Hillary solidifies the complete Socialization of America… Cruz Wins.

If Trump Wins and turns out to be an Amazing Guardian of the Constitution as written, and rolls back the Socialist Schemes of the last 100-years… Cruz Wins, as do we all.

This is what happens when you have a firm footing in the Ideology of Personal Liberty and Freedom.

Ted Cruz has that.

The Establishment Hates him for it. (Because they are Leftists.)
Trump is mad at him for it. (Right now.)
The Democrats fear him for it. (Because they should.)

Can there be any better endorsement for one’s future in the politics of American Exceptionalism?

Of course not.

Ted Cruz was invited to the Convention to be Embarrassed.

He still showed up.

And, he delivered an Amazing Speech based on the principles that those demonizing him today would profess to be their own.

Are they?

From the “How do we Keep this Going!?” Files…

Byline Drudge:

                 “Activists from BLM, KKK and Westboro Baptist throw Urine at Each Other during RNC convention”

Seriously… how do promote more of this behavior?

Throw in some Communist Greens and a pinch of Useful Anarchists…

We would have great TV!  (It would probably have to run late at night on HBO.)

Apparently, all that has to happen is to hold a large get together of Americans promoting Freedom and Liberty of the Individual versus Mob Rule, Intolerance and Use of Force, and these Socialist/Statist Idiots will start throwing Urine on Each other.

Brilliant.

We should have these get together’s as often as possible.

To You Fools criticizing Megyn Kelly…

Okay Morons… we all get that you’re angry about Megyn asking The Donald a question he didn’t like regarding something he did.

… something he did…

Trump said those things.  He called women names.  (Frankly, I don’t care, which probably makes me a misogynist in certain circles but I think women are smart enough to be offended, or not, without my help.)

But here is where your dullness shines…

It also happens to be a question that every Main Stream Leftist Moderator would’ve and WILL ask again.

If Trump can’t deal with it early and often then ‘Your Guy’ is in deep sh*t.

I don’t give a crap about how Megyn is viewed. But I can assure you she is closer to what think you believe in than Candy Crowley.

I realize you’ve all spent a lot on money on jersey’s, but do us all a favor, stop handling your politics like you do your favorite football team. Grow up and demand a bit more from The Donald. If he has a prayer he must… must… must… get this stuff out in the open and out-of-the-way.

Better that Megyn ask it instead of any number of the upcoming ‘objective’ Socialists he will meet in the next debates.

Besides… becoming hysterical when The Donald is confronted by his own actions simply makes you look stupid.

And I personally fight every day to make the point that the only stupid people are the socialist tools used by the Progressives to destroy Our Great Experiment in Self Rule.

You’re not helping.

(That means you tools at Breitbart too… as much as it pains me to say it about Andrew’s Legacy…  And it does.)

Un-American Amnesty?

So the head of the RNC was out ‘Rallying the Base’ by shouting how the Republicans will “Stop the Un-American Amnesty” planned by President Obama.

I have to ask…

What about the Un-American Socialization of Healthcare?

What about the Un-American use of the IRS to target Political Enemies?

What about the Un-American and unconstitutional invasion of Privacy actively being committed by the NSA when they archive every bit of information you receive and produce?

What about the Un-American embrace of myriad Socialist policies?

What about the Un-American education being forced upon our Children?

What about the Un-American support of voter fraud?

What about the Un-American attack on the Electoral College?

What about the Un-American neglect of honoring the Constitution?

What about the Un-American undermining of our Allies Abroad?

What about the Un-American forfeiture of Moral Superiority by abandoning our role as Champion of Individual Freedom and Liberty Worldwide in trade for Democratic Collectivism?

Unless Reince has an answer to these questions…

I think returning to silence is recommended.  It has worked for the Establishment so far.  (Our fight will begin again during the next set of Primaries…)

I have a friend who would offer Mr. Priebus a Steaming Hot Cup of Shut The F*ck Up.  I suggest the Head of the RNC try it.

Using a single issue to distract from a Much Larger Problem is an old tactic.  And using it implies one’s belief that the Voters are Stupid.

When your Entire Car is falling apart you don’t focus all of your attention on a low tire…

It’s time for us to stop being stupid.
