What will the Cruz administration look like?
« on: December 19, 2015, 12:50:44 pm »
Here's what I think it might look like
POTUS- Ted Cruz
VP- Mike Lee
AG- Ken Cuccinelli
Sec of State-  Bruce Fein
Second of Defense- Allen West
Sec of Treasury- Peter Schiff
Press Sec- Allen Keyes 
That would be a great administration. With Rand Paul as Senate Majority Leader and Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House.

Allen Keyes?  I would love to see Carly Fiorina there.  She is remarkably quick on her feet and very well spoken.

Sec of Treasury - Art Laffer.

Alan Keyes is a much better speaker than  fiorina. He also stands for something. A true patriot unlike her.

Alan Keyes is a flake. He would never be the spokesperson for somebody else.

Peter Schiff is a gold bug. Not somebody who should be shaping monetary policy. 

And Bruce Fein as SOS?  He's a nerdy lawyer.

So tell me. Besides a time in Reagan's administration (now 27+ years ago) what precisely has Keyes accomplished?

After Reagan, why didn't any other leading Republicans take him on their staffs?

Answer: He is a tall talker, and just about anybody can do that. He can't get elected, in spite of many tries. Perhaps he could have, if he had applied better judgment and tried starting lower, than US Senator.

Clue: Nixon started as a US House of Representatives candidate, then Senate, then VP, lost running for potus, lost running for governor, finally won the presidency.

Reagan won governorship, then tried 3 times for potus nomination before getting it.

Read the Wikipedia article on Keyes.

He's even nuttier than I realized. He compares Pope Francis to Mao, Stalin, and Marx.

I remember when he came to Dallas in 2004 and called George W. Bush a murderer because of his stem cell decision.  Bizarre.

Good heavens, does this guy like anyone? Anyone at all? He seems to get his jollies on here by attacking and personally insulting anyone who could even be considered remotely a Conservative. Now that either speaks to some deep emotional lack within himself or he is merely a DNC plant.

No. I wouldn't let ANY of these people near a conservative administration.

They're fruitcakes. 

Alan Keyes? Are you kidding?

Why don't you take issue with me instead of insulting me?  And your amateur psychologist schtick is getting stale.

You 2have been my main attackers on this forum.  Let's just be honest. You don't know what the hell you guys are talking about.
Sinkspur you say "I wouldn't let any of these people near a conservative administration"
So Cuccinelli, who was the AG of Virginia(my state) is not qualified to be AG of the United States? Or is he too radical for you buddy? Cuccinelli is FAR more qualified than Ashcroft, Holder, or Lynch.
truth-seeker you said
"Alan Keyes is a tall talker"

So Keyes isn't conservative either? What's a Press Sec supposed to do dumbass? TALK! But I'm sure you like Josh Earnest. Please stop worshipping Reagan if you want to be taken seriously.

No. He's one of the best Austrian economists. An outsider just like Cruz

Bruce Fein is not "just a lawyer"He was one of Ron Paul's top foreign policyadvisors and has done quite a bit of work on foreign affairs. Why does SOS always have to be a politician?

You two hate real conservatism. You attack Buchanan because he doesn't want America being raped by Israel. You attack the JBS for its past (I would bet you've never read the New American) What makes you two qualified to be the Gods of conservatism? As I've said many times, conservatism is broad. You don't get to decide who is or isn't conservative.

Pat Buchanan is an anti-semite.  Perhaps you don't mind being in the company of such people.  I do.

And if you're OK with anti-semites, I'm not OK with you.

So my age disqualifies me from being taken seriously? Shapiro started at 19. It's not my age. It's that you hate Old Right conservatism. You'd slap me across the face?  Do you realize how stupid you sound when you say stuff like that. What's you're definition of anti-Semite? An Anti-Semite is someone who calls for the murder of Jews. Buchanan has never done that.  If it's someone who verbally  attacks or dislikes Israel, then I'm an anti-semite.  Sorry, but the Jews aren't special. They can be criticized like anyone else. I agree with Schiff on gold. We need to go back to the Gold Standard.

Being called a dumbass, by somebody who is admittedly an anti-Semite, an advocate of fascism, and that admonishes me to stop worshipping Reagan, is a badge of honor I proudly wear.

FYI between Alan Keyes, Ted Cruz and Ronald Reagan, I'll take Reagan every time.

Give me your definition of anti-Semite.  As much as I hate to tell you this, Reagans presidency ended 30 years ago. People like Ted Cruz are the way of the future.

Here's what Paul Gottfried said of modern-day Reaganites
" Revered by some as Ronald Reagan might be, attempting to recreate his political age in a long-since fundamentally transformed America isn’t the wisest of ideas. Still, as mainstream conservative pundits advocate exactly this, the rug on which they stand is pulled out from under their feet."

Just for the idiots who call me a Fascist, here's a repost of my political platform.

Marriage- between one man and one woman
Abortion- illegal unless the mothers life is at risk
Death Penalty- Legal in all states. Make rape and pedophilia punishable by death.
Gun Control- very little. Keep guns away from violent felons
Economy- free Market Capitalism. Protectionist trade policy
Healthcare- slightly regulated free-market healthcare system.
Taxes- National Sales Tax. Abolish the IRS.
Foreign Policy- Non-interventionism. End ALL foreign entanglements. Only get involved if there is an IMMEDIATE threat to the U.S. Let the Middle East deal with itself. End ALL foreign aid. Stop putting Israel ahead of America.  Get out of the UN immediately.
Bureaucracy- Abolish the EPA, HUD, Department of Education, Department of Commerce, and a couple others.
Education- end public education. Support private schools, charter schools, and homeschooling. End all government funding for universities. Let them fund themselves.
Other- Repeal 16th and 17th Amendment. Ban ACLU. Go back to Gold Standard

Pat Buchanan IS an anti-semite.  William F. Buckley wrote a long essay in 1992 describing in detail how much of one.

She puts up with me because she puts up with you, too.

Every post you've put up about me lately has been filled with nothing but insults.  Nothing of substance.

So, pot-kettle-black.

Anti-semitism encompasses lots of attitudes.  Outright Jew hatred is one.  Denying certain elements of the Holocaust is another (Buchanan has done that).  Trashing Israel  and references to the "Israeli lobby" (which Pat has also done) are another indicator. So, yeah, Pat Buchanan is anti-semitic.

What do you dislike about Israel?  Is it because it's full of Jews?

Thankfully, there are so few paleos like you that there is no danger of you guys ever getting near the levers of power in the near or even distant future.

ENOUGH with the obsession over Reagan and William F. Buckley. There's no doubt that the Jewish lobby in this country has great influence. There's nothing wrong with trashing Israel. My main issue with them is the way Bibi tries to make the middle eastern countries look evil, while making Israel look defenseless. Every time the leaders of Iran use dumb rhetoric like "Israel will not exist in 25 years" Bibi takes it seriously. This shows that he's either stupid or just wants war. Iran could NEVER do great harm to Israel. Iran is a 3rd world hellhole, while Israel is a first world country with nuclear weapons. If Iran attacked Israel, Israel could destroy them in an afternoon. You need to stop taking the dumb rhetoric of Iranian leaders seriously. I have no issue with Jews( I have a very good friend who is a Modern Orthodox Jew) NeoCons say, Israel is our only ally in the Middle East. It deeply saddens me when I see the U.S bomb  a wedding party in Afghanistan and kills 73, or when I see a strike on a hospital kill 22. There is NO EXCUSE for this kind of behavior. Whoever conducted those strikes ought to be severely punished.  Yet you never hear Neocons talk abou that. Don't you have a heart? In truth, Americas only ally is America. We have no business even being in the Middle East. PaleoCons do have power. Trump and Cruz are more Paleoconservative than NeoCon. The Constitution Party has 300k members.  It's NeoCons who should be worried. Libertarianism is also very popular among young Republicans.

Nothing about your hero Buchanan, I see.  You should do some research on Pat and some of the outrageous things he's said.

Nobody said Israel is our only ally in the Middle East.  But Israel IS our best and most reliable ally. 

Well, your buddy wants to carpet bomb ISIS' stronghold in Syria, which would no doubt result in many more than 73 civilian deaths.  So much for Cruz being a paleocon.

I'm not worried about paleos or the Constitution Party.  300K is one-tenth of one percent of the population. 

And Trump as a paleocon is a laugh. Trump is a WINNER.  In fact, he's the Greatest WINNER OF ALL TIME!!  He has no political ideology, which means he'll sway with the wind.

Something he's always done.

Yes Cruz says he'll carpet bomb ISIS, and that's something I disagree with him on, but overall, his foreign policy is non-interventionist. He calls it an "America Furst' foreign policy. He has been called an isolationist by crackpot Neocons. Neoconservatism is on death watch. The American people want peace and prosperity, not war and economic collapse. The days of Bush-era foreign policy are long gone. The only NeoCon who has a shot at POTUS is Hillary.

The US Presidents that have turned away from Israel are Carter and Obama. Both democrats.

Apparently those two and their foreign policies, would please our member.

There is little room for anti-Israel anti-Semites in the Republican Party. John G. Schmitz (1972) out performed Pat Buchanan (2000), in their respective runs for the Presidency. Both as third-party candidates.

I see no reason to tolerate anti-Semitism or fascism on this discussion forum.

Mussolini was Hitler's great inspiration, btw.

"The Doctrine of Fascism" by Benito Mussolini, 1932

"Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity (11). It is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people."

First, if these are the best you've got, your movement is in trouble.
Both of these guys are geriatric and will be dead soon.

I didn't listen to all of Gottfried, but I quickly got the idea that he blames Jews for all the ills in the world.
Too many Jews in the media, too many Jews in finance, too many Jews in general.

Same old anti-semitic crap I've heard all my life.

As for Buchanan,  all he demonstrated is that he never met a terrorist-sponsoring country he didn't like.

Buchanan defends Iran just as he defends the Palestinians.  He's done that for as long as I've listened to him.

Your examples just prove my point about my concerns about anti-semitism in certain segments of conservatism.

I would favor a Calvin Coolidge/Ron Paul' style foreign policy. I reposted my political platform for people like you who call me a Fascist. An Anti-Semite is a person who discriminates against, or calls for the murder of Jews.
Buchanan and the JBS have never done that. Neither have I

You know Gottfrieds a Jew, right? :laugh: A Jew can't be an anti-Semite. As far as Palestine goes, Israel has 2 choices.
1. Give Palestine the West Bank( which is what Buchanan suggests)
2. Expell all Palestinians from the West Bank( which is what Ben Shapiro has suggested)
This conflict can't go on forever. Israel is going to have to make one of these choices.

Paleo-cons, Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan = Blame America First

i.e. it is all our fault. If we hadn't mistreated the poor middle-east muslims, they would still love us, not hate us and want to kill us. Hence 9/11/2001

Harry Browne caused Larry Elder to leave the Libertarian Party, in favor of the Republican Party.

Browne was affiliated with kooksville "antiwar.com," "lewrockwell.com," World Nut Daily, etc.

Blame America First. No Thanks, to Ron Paul's foreign policy.

No one blames America. I do blame the Bush and Obama administrations for destroying the Middle East. No ones saying "they'd love us if we hadn't mistreated them" We say that we have NO BUISNESS in the Middle East.  We put AMERICANS First, not Israelis.
Here's what the Constitution Party says

Also, here's a good article from the New American.

You are all over the map, like a piece of mercury. John Birch Society, Fascism, Libertarianism, now the Constitution party.

And telling me to stop worshipping Reagan. Sorry, I shall remain stable, consistent, based in the real world, while you flit about.

I'm totally consistent. When did I say I was a Libertarian or a Fascist? Liking Ron Paul doesn't make someone a Libertarian. I was just throwing Fascism out there. I'm not a Fascist. I'm an Old Right Paleoconservative Nationalist. The John Birch Society and the Constitution Party stand for the same principles. These are two groups I have great admiration for. Look at my political platform if you want to know where I stand on issues.

THANK YOU! You are my first defender, and I greatly appreciate that.

You're welcome, though your posts indicate you don't need much in the way of "defending". Not to detract from your accomplishments on here, but they are somewhat diminished by the lack of any real intellectual quality on the part of your opponents.

I'm seriously concerned about Sinkspur. I just made a thread about an elite Reformed theologian ( Dr. James White) presentation on Islam, and the first thing he does is attack the theologian. What's with Sinkspur? He seems to have something against me.

Nothing against you. Just don't agree with you.  Your "Reformed theologian" also attacks my faith.  I just want everybody to know that this guy makes his living telling everyone but evangelical Protestants why their beliefs are wrong.

Socrates did the same thing. White runs a full ministry, and is an elder at Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church. He doesn't "make a living" by tearing people down. If you dislike him, fine, but don't attack him for telling the truth. You say your Catholic. As a REAL Protestant, I have passionate disagreements with the Catholic Church on several things. I don't hate Catholics, but I do dislike the Church. If you disagree with White, prove him wrong. Otherwise, stop responding to my threads

As I told you on another thread, I think it's a waste of time to engage in apologetics. You're never going to convince me to change, and I won't convince you.

And I will not stop responding to your threads.  You're free to put me on ignore if you wish.

On a lighter note, I had a question for you guys. I'm considering starting a YouTube channel. I'll do an hour long show once a week. During the show, I'll cover topics like politics,  theology, philosophy, and sports. How do I go about doing this? What are the Dos and Donts when it comes to having a political YouTube channel? Are there things I shouldn't say? I want to be the Ben Shapiroof Paleoconservatism! SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!  Sinkspur, please don't answer my question unless you have real advice. I'm asking this seriously.

The most important thing to remember is that EVERYTHING you say will be preserved for eternity and will be viewed by admissions counselors of schools, future employers, future spouses, and even your own children.

So never say anything that might harm your opportunities with any of those people.

You can shut down your YouTube channel, but, somehow, those videos have a way of showing up in the strangest of places.

No, Paleo, he has nothing against you personally. He is emotionally ill and his illness expresses itself in attempts to belittle and bully. Post your opinions and concepts with no concern for his fatuous rants.

Your obsessive-compulsive need to comment on everything I say is the emotional illness.  It's pathological, wouldn't you agree?
