HuffPo Editor: Ted Cruz’ Harvard Professors Were ‘In Awe Of His Intellect’ [VIDEO]
In what was no doubt a rare moment for all involved, Huffington Post editorial director Howard Fineman noted on MSNBC’s “Hardball w/ Chris Matthews” that Harvard Law School professors were “in awe” of Texas Republican Senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s intellect.
“At Harvard Law School, he was — the professors were in awe of his intellect,” Fineman noted. “Even if they disagreed with him, which they did vehemently, these people knew that — this guy was trained under the Federalist Society second-generation Republican wave. In other words, not the Reagan years, but these years.” (RELATED: Washington Post Wonders If Ted Cruz Is Eligible To Be President)
The rare complement from the dedicated liberal came in the midst of a fourteen-minute Cruz bashfest led by host Chris Matthews. Fineman himself wrote an editorial earlier in the day mocking Cruz as “anti-abortion, a global-warming mega-skeptic, to the right of Likud on Israel, [and] anti-immigration to the max…”

Ted Cruz is a personal insanity test. If you think he has a prayer of getting the Republican nomination, you need an immediate check up with a shrink. Quickly. If you really truly think he has a prayer to become POTUS, you are beyond help and should just check yourself into a rubber room, no treatment can help. You have no ability to separate reality from fantasy, and you are so far up in your secluded bubble, you are a danger to yourself. This has nothing to do with whether you share his insane, Joseph Mccarthy like views. It has to do with whether you can recognize reality or not.
If you can, you should watch this past week's fox news sunday, the power player segment at the end. It was a piece on the leader of the GOP Op Po research team. If you think only the fictitious "liberal media" does this kind of stuff, you are incredibly wrong and slanted.

An American Renaissance
Lawrence Sellin PhD — February 2, 2015
The Obama years will be forever known as the Dark Ages of US history, a time of political, cultural and economic deterioration. We have yet to see if they will lead to the fall of the American republic.
In the Obama years, the lie became not only a campaign strategy or a means to enact damaging policies, but an institution of government; the Presidency itself, a lie of monstrous proportions guarded by the complicit and the willingly ignorant.
In the Obama years, the Congress finally clearly demonstrated that although we have elections, there is no longer a government representing its citizens, but an entity serving itself, operating outside of Constitutional constraints and unaccountable to the American people for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.
In the Obama years, disseminating either disinformation or no information, a devoted media helped create the intellectual darkness and vacant servitude required to carry out the strategy of their leftist Messiah; a country without any sense of its own history and traditions, where the low-information voter would slouch towards Obama’s imaginary utopia through a combination of governmental coercion and the hedonist nihilism of a painless, amusement-sodden, and stress-free America managed by a nanny-state.
In the Obama years, we see the resurrection of the economic feudalism of the Dark Ages, a system dominated by wealthy special interests that inhibit the upward mobility of the poor and the middle class.
In the Obama years, like during the Dark Ages, we witness the rise of Islamic hegemony and violence, the infiltration of the US government by the Muslim Brotherhood and the promotion of Sharia law in our schools and judicial system.
Renaissance literally means rebirth, a celebration of the human spirit and mankind’s potential for growth; a return to the ideals upon which the United States was founded, that is, a Constitution based on the Judeo-Christian values of Western civilization. Concomitantly, we should remember the sacrifices endured by our forebearers and reaffirm our commitment to preserve our way life as Joseph Story wrote in his 1833 Commentaries on the Constitution:
“Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence.”
The framework of an American Renaissance is a restoration of the Constitution, in particular, 10th Amendment, which states:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
It is clear that members of Congress have largely not adhered to their oath to support and defend the Constitution. The solution, however, is not simply trying to elect more “good” people, who eventually get coopted or crushed by the system, but to create circumstances or incentives that oblige bad people to do the right thing.
The starting point should be limiting Congressional terms to a total of 12 years either in the House of Representatives or in the Senate or a combination thereof and abolishing all special benefits for members of Congress and government officials beyond those available to ordinary citizens.
Free enterprise is the most efficient system for the production of goods and services ever devised. Government is not. Federal taxation and regulations must be reduced to an absolute minimum to unleash the creative forces of the free market to power economic growth and increase jobs.
To increase growth and employment, it is essential to reduce the size of government by enacting, with the exception of defense, a yearly across-the-board 5% reduction in federal funding with the immediate elimination of the Departments of Homeland Security, Energy, Education and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The establishment of a simplified flat tax system for individuals and businesses would obviate the need for the Internal Revenue Service, removing its use as a political weapon and severely limiting the corrupting influence of lobbyists.
Other measures include: securing our borders and firm enforcement of current immigration laws; strictly applying Equal Opportunity against the discriminatory practices of affirmative action and diversity policies; declaring Sharia incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and making its public implementation in any form illegal; declaring English the one and only official language of the United States; rejecting political correctness and multiculturalism as an infringement of the rights guaranteed under the First Amendment and contrary to the American principle of E pluribus Unum.
An American Renaissance cannot be achieved, however, if we do not, as a country, speak the truth and recognize how far we have strayed from the Constitution, representative government and fiscal sanity.
Succinctly, we have a hopelessly corrupt political-media culture, which made possible a fraudulent and destructive Obama Administration.
Barack Obama came to office inexperienced, but armed with a dangerously subversive anti-American agenda designed to undermine the Constitution and the uniqueness and sacredness of the individual, where, through the exercise of his or her reason, one can discern the means necessary to secure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, unmediated by mullahs or government bureaucrats.
Unless we undertake a thorough exposition of who Obama really is, what is his background and true agenda, what forces made his unprecedented rise to power possible and who has conspired to hide the truth, an American Renaissance will not be forthcoming.
We are in a new Dark Age. In such situations, the record of history is unequivocal; either we produce a Renaissance, that is, a rebirth of the fundamental principles upon which America was founded or our republic dies.

I don't watch Fox, MSNBC, CNN or any mainstream media... its all finger pointing and all biased towards one side or another.
Just funny seeing how quick one side is to bash the other.
Bet on how soon Fox or MSNBC releases a story when the next person who declares they are running??
I put the Over/Under at 5 minutes
Fox to Democrat Nominee
MSNBC to Repub Nominee
Nice news to come home to. Very nice, in fact.
Two words: Fuck yeah!!
Cruz is a conservative who does not apologize for it. It is encouraging to have the first candidate in Christ knows how long who doesn't say he's only slightly less liberal than the disgusting scumbag dimocraps. One party does not win three straight prez terms very often, and the country is fed up with the Stuttering Clusterfuck's corruption and America hating. Running someone who is as dissimilar to him as possible is the winning ticket. No fucking RINOs like in 92, 96, 08 and 12 please.
Funny, though...the first ever Cuban American to run on a major ticket, and nary a peep from the MSM. I wonder why. I love the advice we're getting from dimocraps on this one, too. "Don't run him! He's too crazy!" Yeah, because accepting advice from your opponents is a great idea. "Hey, Pete Carroll? This is Bill Belichick calling! I know it's the night before the Super Bowl, but I thought I'd let you know I believe your best gameplan to stop our offense would be dropping into zone blitz packages and using press coverage to slow down our WRs to disrupt their timing with Tom Brady. You'd really benefit from doing that on defense. Just letting you know! As for your offense..."
The country is ready for its first true leader in three decades, and it will be the dims who field old warhorse reactionaries. Think voters will really get jazzed about a fat, lying Woodstock leftover hag? Cruz = the missing turnout from the last two elections that would have put R's over the top. I just hope he doesn't find as much opposition from the R establishment as he does from dims.

You do realize Cruz is a Democrats Wet dream for 2016, right? If they created a candidate from scratch to run against, Ted Cruz would be the creation. Even Crazy Uncle Joe would thrash him by 20+ points. Oh wait, you probably don't. You think Humans have only been on earth for 2000 years, and other assorted craziness. Any time you(or anyone else) is ready, a 4 year ban bet that Cruz is not the POTUS on Jan 21th, 2017. In fact, I'll take a 4 year ban vs anyone's one year. If you REALLY believe in your last paragraph, besides proving your insanity, this should be an easy bet for you to take.
Personally, I'd love a Lizzie vs Cruz race. We'd finally have an actual Liberal running for the Dems, and an actual Far Righty running for the Republicans. But neither is happening, although Lizzie actually has a better chance, even if she never declares.

Dumb fuck...do you actually read what I post, or just auto-paste lame pre-written responses?
I made it very clear that Cruz will face plenty of opposition from not only dimocraps, but possibly just as much from his own party since many of his stances don't align with the establishment R's. You're asking me to basically bet on a team where its own coach is deliberately calling crappy plays because he's trying to throw the game. The fact remains that the country wants something different than the same old stale political horseshit.
If Ted wins the nomination, we'll revisit the bet. All of them, in fact. I'd gladly back Ted +20 over any one of your candidates for as much as you like.
Dimocraps are terrified of Ted, so they're pretending he has no chance to make themselves feel better. He is everything you hate: a conservative, Constitutionalist, and a minority.
Ted Cruz described as ‘first top tier’ conservative since Reagan by Richard Viguerie
By Jennifer Harper - The Washington Times - Monday, March 23, 2015
A seismic shift? Things will change now that Sen. Ted Cruz has entered the White House race, some say.
“Every Republican candidate for president will have to move significantly to the right, starting with Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. They’ll have to define their position on amnesty for illegal aliens, on fighting and winning the war radical Islam has declared on America, on spending, the deficit and the debt, and on repealing Obamacare - against the positions Ted Cruz will talk about and campaign on in the coming months,” predicts longtime conservative maven Richard Viguerie.
“They will all have to move right to respond to Cruz, or be left behind by a grassroots conservative electorate fed-up with Republican candidates who are merely principle-free messengers for an out of touch Washington elite,” he continues. “Cruz is the first top-tier movement conservative candidate since Reagan for three reasons that separate him immediately from the rest of the Republican pack.”
Mr. Viguerie says that the lawmaker-turned-presidential hopeful unites “the old Reagan coalition” - national defense conservatives, economic conservatives and social conservatives - with the constitutional conservatives of the Tea Party movement. He also feels that Mr. Cruz has “an almost spiritual bond with America’s country class” living their lives far beyond the Beltway.
Then there’s that fire in the belly part.
“Finally and perhaps most importantly, are Ted Cruz’s zest for the battle of ideas between conservatives and progressives in both political parties and his intellectual gifts for fighting it,” Mr. Viguerie observes.

"Pretending" he has no chance???
ointer: Well dumbass, if you REALLY TRULY believe that, then you should have no problem accepting the bet RIGHT NOW, no revisiting necessary. But you already know that you don't even remotely believe what you wrote, because no one sane could. Then again, it's you, so maybe you do, so how about taking the bet RIGHT NOW? The truth is the only party that fears Cruz, that are "terrified" of Cruz is his own, that his craziness might tarnish their actual candidate.
