I of course didn't deliberately listen to Ted Crudz' speech, but you couldn't get away from it. The same day I had lunch in a Chinese restaurant, and tragically, it has TVs in 3 of its 4 dining areas, all set to some horrible liberal station -- maybe even Faux News. The way the communist "mainstream" media exulted over Crudz should be enough to tip everybody off. Exulted? They're overjoyed! They're known to be extreme socialists and yet they just LOVE the idea of Ted Crudz representing the republiCON party for president this time. Red alert!
But for those who still need convincing, a brief tour of what Crudz actually said. Firstly, he spends the first THIRD of the speech slinging the "nation of immigrants" BS we can't get way from for more than ten seconds in post- white amerika. Not good!
Oh boy, next he's channeling Reagan: “The incredible opportunity of the American dream, what has enabled millions of people from all over the world to come to America with nothing and to achieve anything. And then the American exceptionalism that has made this nation a clarion voice for freedom in the world, a shining city on a hill.”
Anybody else getting sick of strawberry milkshakes with road apple garnish? “American exceptionalism” is simply and only the notion that amerika gets to be a law unto itself and flout the normal rules of conduct, murdering its way around the Middle East (and beyond) to please Israel. That's exactly what that is. Could somebody reiterate for us the difference between our foreign policy and the Soviet Union's? Except that ours is much more suicidal.
“Imagine health care reform that keeps government out of the way between you and your doctor and that makes health insurance personal and portable and affordable”, he says. What would that be? He doesn't say. If he means to “abolish Obamacare and replace it” like the odious Romney, thanks but no thanks. It just so happens that's the point at which he starts stumping for the unlawful and zany flat tax thing. (We don't owe the money!)
By the time he's lauding Reagan as a tax cutter, I think no further comment is necessary, but I will add one more link that says all:

Will the next six republiCON hopefuls please step forth so we can offer them the same deluxe treatment?
