How were unliberated, undemocratic Libya, Iraq and the Balkans doing before? They always have been terrible places. I did support and still support regime change in both Iraq and Libya by the people of these nations (not forced by Western military interventions) which would lead to libertarian ends. That is highly unlikely to happen for the foreseeable future, but I don't go ahead and support the socialist dictators because of that.

Exactly the point is Regime Changes never work neither do military interventions they just create the opposite effects. In the Balkans things are very tense very, even a small spark can start another conflict.

What the military intervention in the Balkans did you just delayed the killings even further. It might the other side think that they had won which they did technically speaking.

I guess you missed the part where I said any regime change must come from the Iranian people and not from external intervention.

I don't consider Iran a military threat to either the US or Israel. But I do think that if they were to develop a nuclear weapon (of which there is no evidence they are doing) would be a destabilising factor in the Middle East and create an arms race with both Israel and Saudi Arabia (and potentially Egypt and the Gulf States).


Then again, you called Ron Paul an isolationist so it figures you would feel this way.

Yes, I consider Ron Paul to be an isolationist-leaning non-interventionist.

Yes, because those are the only two options, right? There is no option for Iran to become a democracy ruled by moderate Muslims.

Infowars has hit the nail on the head about Cruz here, imo.

http://www.infowars.com/ted-cruzs-wife-is-a-goldman-sachs-vp/



The establishment specializes in the old fashion bait-and-switch. It knows the people are sick and tired of government as usual and they want change. Obama was billed as Mr. Hope and Change. But once installed in the White House, he immediately continued and expanded the Bush agenda, that is to say the agenda of the political establishment. Barry, like his predecessor, is little more than a frontispiece, a teleprompter reader for the elite.

Now that we’re fed up with Obama, it is time for the next round of phony change. That change will likely be represented by reformulated Tea Party Republicans Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.

“The Republican establishment despises Ted Cruz. And that’s great news for the senator from Texas: It’s the most prominent sign that he’s the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination,” the National Journal opined last week.

The faux government shutdown with its intense partisan squabbling and meticulously orchestrated theatrics provided Cruz and the reformulated Tea Party Republicans with a stage to present themselves as the answer to politics as usual. According to the script, a staid GOP dominated by the likes of old guard John McCain and John Boehner is afraid of Cruz and the supposedly renegade faction of Tea Party activists in the House. But it’s all show business.

For all his allure as an outsider, Canada-born Ted Cruz is in fact an insider playing a role similar to the one Barack Obama played back in 2008 when his handlers portrayed him as the hope and change candidate out of nowhere.

Cruz’s insider connection is a family affair. His wife, Heidi, is a Goldman Sachs vice president in Houston, Texas, according to her LinkedIn profile. She also served as an economic advisor for the Bush administration. In 2011, a Cruz campaign spokesman portrayed Heidi as “an expert on North American trade,” in other words she is savvy when it comes to globalist transnational trade deals like NAFTA, the single most destructive government move against the American worker in history.

She was also a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations (see her bio at Claremont McKenna College), a position that expired prior to her husband’s attack on the globalist organization. In October, 2011, Ted Cruz reportedly characterized the CFR as “a pernicious nest of snakes” that is “working to undermine our sovereignty.” He previously called the CFR “a pit of vipers” during a speech delivered on October 13, 2011, to a Republican women’s group in Sugarland, Texas. Ben Smith, writing for Politico, attempted to associate Cruz with Texas residents Ron Paul and Alex Jones in order to pass him off as a rightwing conspiracy theorist on the same page as fringe libertarians and starry-eyed constitutionalists. He is, of course, nothing of the sort.

Like the domestication of the Tea Party and the expulsion of its more purist liberty-minded activists, the Cruz the warrior pitted against the establishment motif is another slick subversion directed at the political elite’s most puissant opposition – the real Tea Party and a threatening number of patriot activists gnawing at the edges of the political establishment.

Kurt Nimmo is the same clown who called Rand Paul a neocon last year. He's full of shit.

Alex Jones is a strong supporter of Ted Cruz and extensively covered Cruz's stand against Obamacare:

There are 16 new Senators since 2012. How many of them are household names like Cruz? None. As far as doing anything "to advance libertarianism...", this is the Blaze a conservative publication with libertarian leanings. It's not like LRC gave him the award.

Again, a household name for accomplishing what exactly? All Cruz did was throw red meat talking points (talking about Obamacare) to a Republican base that was going to eat it up no matter what. There is nothing noteworthy about that.

So Ted Cruz' wife isn't a Goldman exec with ties to the CFR and the GWB 'legacy'? How about addressing the allegations in the write-up instead of attacking the messenger? Hmm?

Glad to hear this. It's a well deserved honor for Cruz. I'm happy to have supported him in his campaign.

lol what did he do?

The Cruz shills sure came out of the woodwork for this thread, didn't they?

I don't hate Cruz but I trust him as far as I can throw him. I'll use his rhetoric and status while he's useful but everyone should understand the game that's being played regarding Cruz' sudden "star status". It's intentional to make him the new golden boy of the GOP since Rubio failed miserably and to keep the spotlight off of Rand as much as possible.

I made such a comment several months ago, and some people acted like I was a nutter.
I told them to wait and see.
It will be more apparent in time.

I've been saying that since at least June and yet many here still don't wanna believe it. Even after he details Rand's run many here will still refuse to believe it. Makes me wonder if there's quite a few Cruz moles hanging around. You can't tell me Cruz's fake filibuster alone has earned him all this media attention. He's being pushed like hell. and it started after the attacks from McCain, Graham, King, and Christie attacks failed, this is all they have left. Sadly many are falling for it.

I feel the way many others feel...I won't support Cruz and the only reason I will probably vote for Rand is because he is Ron's son.

The blaze doing this is a clear sign the rinos are going to push for cruz because he is a "lesser of 2 evils" between Rand and Ted...To them.

It is not clear if Cruzer is a plain war mongering religious fanatic with unsound mental bolts or just another neocons nTool for hire... but in either case he needs to repent.
