The Cruz Conundrum

Posted on by

I almost feel bad for Ted Cruz and his supporters. To be sure, The Junior Senator from Texas managed to win his home state, in addition to Oklahoma and Alaska, and congratulations to him. Here is the problem…… it wasn’t enough. The reason I’m not mentioning Marco Roboto…..er, I mean Rubio, is because he’s a tool, and without a stolen and brokered convention, he has no reason to continue. This is why it is essentially a two man race.

Now, I will vote for Cruz if he pulls off a miracle and happens to honestly win enough delegates to be the nominee. With that said, there are many more things that this election means to me than who is the most “conservative”, and I have been insulted, criticized, and had my very faith questioned because I support Trump over Cruz.

First of all…..I don’t know what the political definition of “conservative” is anymore. Is it the political definition, you know the one that every republican claims to be while running? Is it the fiscal definition……you know, the one that no one in Washington D.C. seems to be able to grasp? Or is it the religious definition, which is used and abused by politicians to get elected, then disregarded as quickly as fiscal conservatism? These are the reasons I will not blindly vote for a “conservative” politician. In fact, it’s why I frankly have turned away from any and all politicians during this presidential election cycle.

This is also why I don’t support Cruz in the primaries. He has, to be sure, talked the talk…..but in my opinion he doesn’t walk the walk. Now, before your head explodes Cruz supporter, he has not had the opportunity to walk the walk, and the reason is because he has been incapable of either getting anything done, or stopping anything, to slow the descent of America into either 3rd world, or European style, chaos.

It’s also a personal stance in my case…….my number one and two issues respectively are our enormous, massive debt, and our enormous, massive, illegal immigration problem.  In my opinion, Cruz’s support of the Trans-Pacific “trade” Partnership (TPP), and “Immigration Reform” ( I don’t care whose mouth it comes out of, that means Amnesty and open borders )  make it difficult for me to even begin to support him.  The pictures and videos of Cruz handing out Teddy Bears and candy alongside Glenn Beck not too long ago keep irritating me like a bad splinter.  The same irritation I get that Cruz, in my opinion, has questionable legal status to run for the office.

And that’s how we get to my final point about Ted Cruz and why he has not done better in the primaries so far…….his supporters. Not all of them, mind you, but enough of them to really, I mean really, turn me off to him as a candidate. I watched as all of the republican talking heads ( Erickson, Krauthammer, Kristol, Levin, etc.. ) insisted on Donald Trump signing a pledge to support the eventual nominee, and he did. Now those same bobbleheads are not only saying they are going to stay home on election day, they are actively advocating that YOU stay home as well.  In my opinion, they are shallow, petty, political operators that care more about taking their toys and going home, because they have been wrong, than they care about stopping our slide into oblivion.

In addition, I have read, and been lectured by, comments directed at me by Cruz advocates that make any Trump insult look tame. I am “evil”, “unchristian”, “stupid”, “uneducated”, “brownshirt”, “Nazi”, and even “Hillary Supporter”. Cruz has wrapped himself in the Bible, yet chosen as his attack dog Glenn Beck, who’s judgment is say, questionable……add to that he has not come out and refuted his supporters’ admonition to just pout and stay home, and I have a difficult time taking him seriously. If truly you are concerned this may be our last chance to alter course through a presidential election, I don’t see how you can say, ” Vote for me or don’t vote at all “.

I know many will disagree with me, and once again tell me Trump is no “conservative”. In my opinion, any republican running who cannot bring in moderates, Dixiecrats, blue collars, young people, and minorities in greater number than previous elections is doomed. I want a re-invigoration of The American Spirit, American capitalism, and American culture. I want illegals deported and the border secured. I want America respected, and yes feared, again across the globe.  I’m not sure voting for another Junior Senator, who is a lawyer ( because when a lawyer says “should” or “would”, or “ought to”, that means “NO THEY WON’T”, trust me ), and who will not get ONE SINGLE VOTE from the opposition, who has less than clear birth records and sealed college records,  is the way to go…….again……especially since it’s worked out so well for us in the past seven years.

If Loving Trump is Wrong…..I Don’t Wanna be Right.

Sometimes it feels like I am writing the same column over and over. The reason isn’t because I actually am writing the same column over and over, but because the Oligarchs that rule us without our consent are repeating the same bullsqueeze over and over again.

I’m going to be honest here, I love the Trump Campaign. I have not, and will not, give money to them….and frankly the first time I get a whiff of the Herman Cain Syndrome (ie: I want to sell books and get a talk show out of this – no offense Herman, much love, but if you had any balls you’d be prez -) I will turn on Trump like Mitch McConnell turned on his own constituency and Ted Cruze. But unless and until that happens, I am cheering The Donald like a fan at a Def Leppard Concert with their lighter held high during “Pour some sugar on me”.

Why? Because, Holy Crap, we are being herded and run off of a cliff by the same tired old buffoons that told us to vote  for McCain or Romney because they were the “lesser of two evils”. Well, fool me once, shame on you…..fool me a thousand times……..then I’m an idiot…….and I’m tired of being the GOP’s idiot. I have never been an idiot for the left, only because I am able to think for myself and that’s an absolute disqualifier for the party of Alinsky, Stalin, and Mao. The lies, ridiculous antics ,straw men, and weak arguments presented by the Washington Crowd against us have become tiresome.

It’s like watching that tiny lil’ stooge George Stephanopoulos defend Hillary Clinton week after week, day after day…….pretending in front of the whole world that he’s a “journalist”, when he spent years working for the Clintons……even being a part of their White House staff. Do any of the coffee-clatch boobs that watch ABC news every day know that? Probably not. Do the smug, arrogant, jackasses that run ABC know he’s a BLATANT POLITICAL HACK  hiding in Mickey Mouse’s body? Yes…….yes they do. Do they think you’re so absolutely stupid that you won’t notice or care? Yes……yes they do.

So……when both political parties treat you like a leper and an idiot, what is for you to do? Well……until recently, nothing. That’s why Trump is so exciting. I mean, dang………it’s incredibly refreshing to see someone, anyone, taking it directly to the demons in human skin that are our (s)elected leaders. My only reservation is that I am not yet convinced that The Donald is going to see this through to the end. I admit that I have cheered every comment, no matter how crass, that he makes. You know what McCain?……you DO suck. Spending all that time in a POW prison ( namely because America no longer fought wars to win them ) sucks big-time. But really John? Everything you have done since being elected looks like submission and collusion….I’m not saying that you weren’t heroic in the context of your situation, but you are certainly no hero now.

Trump says some dumb things. But at least those dumb things aren’t being read off of a teleprompter. Trump has some liberal/democrat tendencies……and so did Reagan. He famously said, “I didn’t leave the democrat party, the democrat party left me”.  In fact, what’s missing from our political debates and machinations is some honesty. I mean even dumb-ass honesty. I say all kinds of things sometimes that are offensive and stupid……….but at least I’m speaking from the heart and from a place of truth.  We are desperate…….left and right, for someone that will recognize, and put into words, THE TRUTH. And further……….that will speak it and be unafraid of the consequences.

For example, and please hear me out…., I am against abortion. Yet, I believe that in reasonable circumstances, without it being the 3rd trimester, that there is a choice to be made by the person and their family.  According to the pro-life people that makes me a monster. According to the insane, any-abortion-at-any-time-for-any-reason-without-consent people, I am also a monster…….they would say an eighth-month, healthy pregnancy is ok for abortion ( Maybe just to sell the parts ). Is there no room for sanity and common sense in this debate?  I think that America would say, for the most part…..yes there is.

This is just like illegal immigration. With 90 to a hundred million people unemployed ( oh, and if you believe Obama’s unemployment numbers, wow……you’re a lost cause) can America agree we shouldn’t have millions of illiterate, uneducated foreigners sucking up our jobs and tax dollars all while chain-migrating their entire family? Yes, I think so.

We have jihadis shooting up American servicemen and blowing up marathons here at home, while a head-chopping, gay killing, child sex slave having, caliphate sweeps the middle east. Can America agree that we are indeed at war with Islam, or that they are at war with us? Except for the guy in the White House with his “no god but allah” ring……yes, I think we can agree.

And lastly, we are 18 trillion in debt and growing. And that’s just the principle. With interest it’s enough dollars to build a stairway to Pluto. For perspective, we were at half that number six and a half years ago. Can America agree that paying illegals welfare, increasing so called entitlement spending, not developing our own natural resources, incessantly being goaded into juvenile playground race baiting, chopping up babies for spare parts, and being led by a horde of crusty old career politicians in it for the power, is a one way ticket to being a third world country? Yes…..I think we can agree.

So go for it Trump. I don’t think one man can solve our problems…..but I think one man can, at the very least, speak honestly about what our problems are. And as we all know, you can’t fix a problem if you’re not even willing to speak it aloud. So say it with me America, loud and proud…….. ” Our problem is Washington, D.C. and those who are in it.” I for one am ready to pop the giant tick that is our political class……they’ve had enough of our blood.

The Saddest Show on Earth

Usually I like to try and address some of the pending and current disasters besetting our Dying Republic, but at this point I don’t know whether to keep fighting the decay or just hope for a quick death.  If you’re wondering why I feel this way, don’t worry….I’m going to tell you.

See, none of the issues we need to confront and deal with will ever be handled. Not as long as this once great beacon of real freedom is under the spell of that cheap magician named Political Correctness. I bet you didn’t know PC the Magnificent could do tricks, but let me assure you that he does. I’ll give you a couple of examples:

A young, Kuwaiti-born muslim man takes a trip to the middle east, becomes “more devout”, grows a beard, and then decides to shoot several American servicemen to death. You might think at first this was an act of ISIS inspired terrorism…….but Presto-Chango! it’s just another “lone gunmen” depressed and unhappy with life and taking it out on oddly gun-less members of the military….who must’ve been random, unfortunate targets.

An ego-centric man stands before you: A definite Y chromosome, broad shouldered, adam’s apple having, can do 20 pull ups Man. You know, like won-some-gold-medals-in-the-Men’s-category man.  But watch as PC the Magnificent removes the curtain and Abra-cadabra! it’s a girl everybody!

An Illegal alien stands before you: by the very nature of their presence in the country, they are a criminal. In fact, by being illegal and using social services they are committing theft and fraud. Sometimes one even shoots and kills an American Citizen for fun. In steps PC the Amazing….. and Poof! that illegal is now honest, hardworking, moral and true…. all the things that you are not.

An inner city lays before you, let’s say Chicago. In this place dozens of people are victims of violent crime every month at the hands of people who share their culture, community, and pigmentation. In steps PC the Miraculous, and with the wave of a magic wand, it’s all the fault of people with different pigmentation that at best have an unconscious bias and at worst are guilty of blatant racism.

Or maybe there’s a country full of radical religionists, complicit in the murder of American soldiers, bent on ruling the world and stomping on you with an Allah-given fervor, using a nuclear jackboot that we are providing. But wait…….PC the Wondrous folds his arms and blinks and Shazam!, now that nation is a peaceful beacon of light and enlightenment desperately trying to crawl out from under our evil influence.

Now maybe you can understand why my attitude is a little sour on our collective ability to face any of the huge problems we’re staring at. And hey……I know many people now either think with their feelings, genitals, or both….rendering them incapable of critical thought and reasoning. They are the ones that will shout you down when you expose the trick, insisting the girl really was sawed in half and the Statue of Liberty really did disappear.

I still think that most people, like the audience in a magic show, know what is truth and what is not. Out of fear they stay silent. The real problem is that as a culture we have become enablers of crazy. Used to be when your weird Uncle stood up at the dinner table, pissed himself,  and claimed to be Napoleon Bonaparte – you called the guys in white coats with butterfly nets. I guess in Bizzaro-America now you applaud their courage, learn French, put them in a diaper and buy them a funny hat.

Welcome to the saddest show on Earth, it’s mandatory…….so shut up and accept the ridiculous.
