Tomorrow is Indiana’s Primary so this is just a very short
couple of thoughts about what the importance is. I don’t know if anyone will
read this in time but I feel obligated to try.
First of all the problem for those of us who oppose Donald
Trump is simple, Trump inspires the passion. The passion for and the passion
against, so for Ted Cruz this has been a problem, Trump inspires love or dread,
Trump gets the coverage Trump dominates the media with his often outrageous
statements and Cruz is the other guy. Ted Cruz however is more than just the
guy who isn’t Trump, real quick here are 5 reasons Indiana, and all states
following should get on board with Cruz.
1.
The Supreme Court. Ted Cruz argued nine cases
before the Supreme Court with a good deal of success but more important than
the wins and losses is what he supported which is a big indicator of the type
of justice he would choose. From on the Issues, a great non [artisan sight
Stood for Americans' First
Amendment rights against Democrats who sought to repeal our free speech rights.
Defended Hobby Lobby against Obamacare's contraception mandate.
Fought and won a landmark victory at the Supreme Court in Medellin v.
Texas; protected US sovereignty against 90 foreign nations and the president to
ensure the US is not subject to rulings of the "World Court."
Led the way to preserve the words "under God" in the Pledge of
Allegiance.
Successfully defended the constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments
monument, winning a 5-4 landmark decision.
Successfully defended the Texas schools' moment of silence law in federal
district court.
Galvanized national support for Houston pastors who had been subpoenaed
by the City of Houston and forced to turn in their sermons. . This article ties
in brilliantly and deserves a read: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/420409/ted-cruz-supreme-court-constitutional-amendment
2.
The constitution: Cruz wants to keep the power
of government limited to the enumerated powers of the constitution. For a
hundred years government has been expanding sometime slowly sometimes like
lightening, but with only a few respites (the Coolidge and Reagan
administrations) it has grown and expanded beyond its intents. The temptation
is to use the expansive government for our desires rather than take its power
away but we must fight this if we are to preserve liberty
3.
Guns: . The Second Amendment to the Constitution
isn't for just protecting hunting rights, and it's not only to safeguard your
right to target practice," Cruz has said, per the New York Times. "It
is a Constitutional right to protect your children, your family, your home, our
lives, and to serve as the ultimate check against governmental tyranny--for the
protection of liberty." Cruz gets it and is the only remaining candidate
who hasn’t or doesn’t support various gun bans.
4.
Consistency. There is a difference between
principle and pragmatism. Cruz, though at times pragmatic starts at a point of
principle that is the basis of his views while we as conservatives may differ
on the best way to apply those principles it is the principles that unite us.
Cruz shares those basic principles, or to quote the great man himself “on these
principles there will be no compromise”. It is hard for other nations to deal with us since we change
presidents and policy every four to eight years. Following the last 8 years consistency
would be a godsend to our allies.
5.
Life. I have long believed that life is the
number one concern of our country, and only one remaining candidate has been a consistent
defender of life.
In the end no other candidate on either ticket supports the
principles of conservatism and polls and
propaganda be damned conservatives in Indiana the country needs you
Keep on the firing line
