Orwellian: freedom from religion is religious freedom.  Owellian: freedom of speech has become freedom OF speech.  Both of our fundamental rights are being redefined to its exact opposite by the Marxist Left a la Political Correctness and “never offend anyone”.

GraniteGrok’s response to that is short and pithy: screw you.  If you can’t withstand criticism, if you believe that you have the right to never have to defend yourself in an argument with someone that holds opposite views and runs rings around you in that debate, go home to Momma and Daddy, go sit in the corner of your basement, curl up in a ball and drool on yourself.  Stay there until you have looked inside your belly button long enough to have figured out that your soul is empty and pitiful and only outdone by the vacuousness of your cranium that is devoid of a singular thought or any kind of logical reasoning.

The one thing you have to say is that Ted Cruz can hold an audience’s attention!  He certainly hit on most of the topics that are driving the conservative interest in this Prez Primary cycle.  After the jump is the section from the livestream where he did a goodly time answering questions.

The Talk:

The Q&A:

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

Sure, this may not involve the courts, but it certainly lives up to the spirit of the assault on American institutions.  She’s right – this is an assault on the most American of institutions – The Rule of Law.  Her rant is against the Huntington Park City Council for appointing illegal aliens to commissions.  Not citizens, not even legal residents, but illegal aliens.  So these two illegal alien men will have the voting power, as members of those committee, to dictate how legal residents and citizens will live their lives.  This is the American way, this is following The Rule of Law?

And more banter about shipping parts of babies to labs.

“[There are] rampant problems with bacteria in certain clinics,” StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer says in the video. “Some where you’re kind of like in question of really, should they really, you know… I’ve seen staph [infections] come out of clinics… I’ve seen all sorts of things come out of clinics.”

Gosh, I really don’t want to skirt the issue, but this use of “derogatory” I just missed; I guess I should be talking to NH GOP Chair Jennifer Horn more often on it.  So when that ABC reporter tried to be a jr. SJW (Social Justice Warrior) when he “confronted” Donald Trump over the latter’s use of anchor babies, well, he got what he deserved:

ABC reporter (in an SJW “lecturing” tone): You said that you have a big heart, and that you’re not mean-spirited. Are you aware that the term ‘anchor baby,’ that’s an offensive term? People find that hurtful,”

Trump: “You mean it’s not politically correct, and yet everybody uses it.  You know what? Give me a different term.”

…they fashion their culture wars to be cudgels with which to bang Republicans upside the head politically with them?  This is not a winning strategy from a former NH Speaker of the House (who, by the way, was elected Speaker only with the help of Democrats).  In this video, we see that there is a coordinated strategy to use the culture wars to shape the political war over immigration (emphasis mine, reformatted):

“In a talk given in May 2014 to “social justice” allies in Oakland, activist/artist Favianna Rodriguez explains how tactics from the gay rights movement are being applied in the immigration fight to “normalize” illegal aliens and then are implemented as policy by President Obama.

And this is EXACTLY how the gay movement made their political gains – by gaming the cultural “system”. This is called “shaping the battlespace” – and folks like Scamman believe that the Right should unilaterally disarm.  Or in other, more realistic terms, bend over and…
