Quote:I can't speak for Ted Cruz but I believe his mindset is along the line of how I feel.

 

There's no dispute that 9/11 was tragic beyond any words that can be used.   The mental anguish of 9/11 still exists for me and that will almost certainly be the case as long as I'm alive.   Yet,  because of what transpired in the 24 hours last Thursday and Friday,   there's a school of thought by many that the worst by far is yet to come in this country.   Especially,  when combining this with other decisions,  policies,  and the overall direction of the United States.   

 

I realize that many,  if not most people reading this strongly disagree with this mindset.   I doubt you will be convinced in the short term regardless of what anyone says.   But it reinforces why I strongly believe that Ted Cruz or someone like him is the only hope for the United States of America.   

 

Funny, but I feel just the opposite. Ted Cruz (and those of his ilk) are fighting the tide of history - and is not the hope of the USA. Far from it. 

 

The trend of America has been one of expanding liberty. Too slowly at times, too cruel at times, but always expanding the base of citizen rights. Cruz doesn't want that. He's rather play upon the fears of a segment of the population that is uncertain as to the current course of the country. At one time they thought they knew. At one time they thought they were in control. But it's now all so confusing to them.

 

Read some American history. There have been periods, many in fact, that were a lot more scary and threatening than the period we're living through. The expansion of liberty is a good thing, believe it or not, and America will get through this.
