Ted Cruz: True American Patriot.

I like Rubio and Cruz, but I believe Cruz would have been a better choice to offer the rebuttal to the congenital liar, the kenyan klown, the chicago creep, the hawaiian hustler, or whatever you choose to call the president.

When are people going to wake up and understand this Obama person and many in Congress are the greatest threat to our Constitution and Freedom that I can think of.

#3, we´ll wake up when the media tells us to wake up.

Look squirrel!

Bleat!

I enjoy everything I hear from Senator Cruz. May his backbone stay as strong as it is now. So many have come to Washington and succumb to the fear of what the press might say about them. Senator Cruz does not seem to suffer from that disease.

When you criticize the use of words like liberalism vs. socialism, you first have to understand Obama supporters believe Obama is all about his view of fairness. These people hear socialism and think Obama is not a socialist, he´s just wanting to make things more fair for them.

Terms like socialism, fascism and communism make these peoples´ eyes glaze over and they quit listening. These are people that do not understand the economy and have believed Obama´s lies.

Perhaps the best way is to constantly tell people Obama wants to tell you how you are going to live your lives, where you are going to live, what you are going to eat, and what medical care you will be allowed to receive. If he thinks you make too much money, he´ll take it away and give it to someone else. Just remember, Obama is a multi millionaire and he gets to keep his money. He never paid his fair share of taxes on the millions he has made.

More like unabashed lunacy.

Cruz should have given the response speech...not Rubio...

I love you, Ted - - but you´ve got to clean up your terminology.

A liberal is someone who believes in individual freedom - - like you and I and nearly everyone on this board.

There´s nothing "liberal" about Zippy - - he´s a hardcore marxist who wants to control everyone´s life and everyone´s wealth.

The simple term for someone like that is "leftist" - - which spans the gap from socialist to marxist to commie.

"Leftist" - - not "liberal." OK? OK!

I second #9

If republicans had cajones, they would have walked out of this idiocy. Who wants to be lectured by a nincompoop who does not know how to balance his checkbook?

That´s a good idea, #6, but unfortunately the number of people who would welcome a nanny state is truly frightening. They like the idea of having bureaucrats control their lives. They especially like the idea of "rich" people paying for them.

The scariest thing a leftist ever said to me was this: "It´s the first duty of government to protect people from themselves."

You can argue with that kind of mindset, but you won´t get anywhere.

No Ted, you are wrong.

It is unabashed communism with some totalitarianism thrown in for spice.

One of these days you might want to call it like it is. It´s time to tell people what it is. Liberalism has no meaning anymore. Especially when most of the RINO colleagues you serve with exercise "Liberal Lite"

So despite the bad leads you are getting from the likes of RINO McCain, start telling it like it really is.

I´m with Poster #9. We need more than cliches from our conservative Senators. Time to define O with wit, verve and courage.

No, Rubio was the right choice for the response. Cruz will have his turn.

Thank goodness Cruz won the Senate Primary in the State of Texas. Senator Cruz is not afraid to follow the Constitution or the Rule of Law. We need many more like him.

Where does Cruz stand on amnesty ?

So how about telling a leftist "So, I don´t care what you call your philosophy. It boils down to: I should be a slave, and you should be entitled to the product of my work that you steal from me with force provided to you by the government. So, you believe in economic slavery. You also believe in theft. That´s your philosophy. It´s the same one that Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and the rest of the great dictators had."

Maybe we are simply wasting time calling slavery, evil, and thievery by names ending in "ism." Call them what they are.

Then again, this is what I love about Ayn Rand. She used new words and new arguments for all of this. Her words still ring strong and true today.
