    Oh, he don't do this shit for free, bro- there's an appearance fee! And when he's outside a church, he can occasionally make sense. When he 's IN a church (which is where I last heard him), it's absolute nonsense accompanied by shout-outs to the various clergy in attendance- most of whom are there to be photographed with him.

    And Cruz has been trolled to court..

    http://www.vox.com/2016/2/18/11058038/ted-cruz-court

    Cruz is a proud supporter of the conservative legal tradition of constitutional originalism: interpreting the Constitution not by what its words ought to mean today, but by what the Founding Fathers meant as they wrote them in 1787. Cruz is arguably the national politician most closely identified with originalism; he's certainly the presidential candidate with the closest ties to the conservative legal movement.

    According to Tribe, constitutional originalism defines "natural born" very narrowly, in a way that would exclude Cruz. By extension, Tribe argued in the Boston Globe, any judges Cruz would appoint to the federal bench as president would invalidate his own presidency.

    But Tribe clearly doesn't believe this line of argument himself because he is very much not an originalist. And one of the points of his column is that maybe if originalism is such an inflexible theory that it wouldn't allow one of its own biggest supporters to be president, it is generally a bad idea. He points out that the reason the Founding Fathers didn't want immigrants to be president is totally moot today — but so is the idea of a "well-ordered militia." And if originalists like Cruz still support the Second Amendment, Tribe says, they can't wave away the "natural-born citizen" clause either.

    Cruz trying to out-trump Trump with illegal deportations. I remember Trump saying he will deport 11.5 million, now Cruz is saying he will deport 12 million. I wonder if Rubio is going to try and raise the stakes to 12.5.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...lion-undocumented_us_56cbd9fbe4b0928f5a6d147a

    Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has taken a page from Donald Trump's presidential campaign playbook, hardening his rhetoric against undocumented immigrants.

    Cruz told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Monday that yes, should he be elected president, his administration would deport all 12 million undocumented peopleestimated to be in the U.S. and wouldn't allow them to return.

    12 million seems like a hella wets to shift. didn't sound realistic to me.

    but i looked up some hard facts : greyhound has 1200 buses that seat 50 people each... and if you crowd them in like sardines maybe 70-80. it would take a more data about where all these miscreants ruining our country are hiding out but if you roughly figure an average of 2.5 days per round trip you can make those 12,000,000 runs to the border in under a year. there are 20,000 people in the border patrol so if they got their thumb out and nabbed 3 illegals each every working day they can fill those buses in the same time frame. so yeah, it's uber doable (i'm not suggesting we uber these beans back to frijole land, COME ON!)

    you can say that's a lot of manpower, but hey, it's their job and one wonders why they aren't doing it already. or that it monopolizes our entire bus system for a year but no one rides those coaches but roaches anyway.

    one year too long for you? well we've been making freedom endure in iraqk for 13 years so one year to take our OWN country back is a good deal.

    so i say GO FOR IT! YOU! ESS! AY! OLE!

    If this country had to rely on obese, semi-literate bumpkins, and not Mexicans, it wouldn't last a week.

    Glad there was a translation. All I got out of that cartoon was a fat bird who's pissed that his wine ran out on a Sunday night. Kinda like me.

    Funny story about Arlo Guthrie. I grew up in the town where "Alice's Restaurant" went down, and it wasn't unusual to see him around. One time he was drinking with his old nemesis, Chief Obie (whose son I went to high school with), and I overheard one of them say "Y'know, we should make another movie." "Yeah, but this time, no assholes!"

    Lindsey Graham apparently doing stand up now. Said if you killed Ted Cruz and the trial was on the floor of the senate, no senator would vote to convict you. Ouch.
