What A Week

So much has changed in this country and the world this week. As well as this blog. 

Let's get the boring out of the way:

The Mind Of Clint has a new Facebook page! And it's been okay. So far 3 days in and there are 24 people who 'like' us. I've been solely on Twitter and Google+ for the past year, almost, and it's been a crazy year on top of that. It's read in over 10 countries all over the globe. It's pretty awesome to see the statistics on something like this. The new Facebook page will only add to the future of this exciting adventure. :)

That page is: https://www.facebook.com/themindofclint/

I'll say what I have been saying all along: share share and share. The more we can show the conservative message, the better!

Ok. Now onto what I thought were important situations from this week. 

Taken from The Dailey Caller: "Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski said at a Senate hearing Wednesday that she wanted to avoid getting “involved in constitutional arguments.” The only problem is that the hearing in question dealt with President Obama’s recent executive actions on guns, which many believe infringes on Americans’ Second Amendment rights."

My jaw dropped when I read this. We have a democrat in office who is willing to look not at the constitution, but to an ideology and a personal agenda, when it comes to deal with the law. Especially this topic of heavy concern to the American people. We all know of the presidential oath before taking office.  The congressmen and women, too, have their oath. Barbara is outright saying, screw the constitution. It doesn't matter anymore. There is a political ideology within this situation. It's scary and harmful to this republic. Yet, have you read anything on this? Maybe a few places but I haven't really seen it in too many news sites. 

Instead, we hear things like how Cruz "is worse than Clinton". Trump said this. Come on dude. Say something useful. Say something that matters to the American people. Not like the act you did today about how invincible you are to the polls. Even in context, joking about killing somebody and not loosing votes is wrong. Joking about it is wrong. People die from shooting all over the world. In Canada it just happened yesterday. Why would a presidential candidate even say something remotely similar to that? Why?

So you bring up you have to be establishment to get things done. Isn't that why we liked you in the beginning? -Because you were anti Washington. The most anti-washington person out there?  You were an outsider who couldn't be influenced by anybody because you have all the wealth in the world. You were successful without politics. Now you're saying you must join them to get stuff done? No. Nope. 

Meanwhile, we have the university of Minnesota rejecting 9/11 remembrance because it could bring on racism? This is America. We look at our history and learn from it. If we take it out, there will be a generation of young Americans who will have no idea what 9/11 is/was. The communist manifesto preaches history begins now. Human experience: thrown out the window. Look to elites and people in the government as opposed to, say, God. This made me sick. 

I pray for this country. A week ago I was a Trump supporter. I'm a Cruz supporter now because he is focused on the issues. He wouldn't let Washington and the left get away with what got away with this week. Conservatism at its core, is based on human experience. If we forget that, what have we truly done with humanity?

Marxism vs Conservatism

I'm noticing something going on in the political battlefield today. Trump, who has some plans I agree with, is becoming more and more different with my views. This sudden change of mindset leads me to believe he's not a true conservative. Where as Cruz leads a solid record of this movement, time and time again. Does Trump know this? You bet he does hence the recent attacks.

Let's look at the democratic side between Clinton and Sanders.

Clinton is a Marxist. You can tell by the similar 'progressive' views she has that Karl himself had. Except, she isn't outspoken about it. Sanders, on the other hand, is an outspoken socialist. He doesn't even try to hide his beliefs. Now Clinton is trying to differentiate herself from him saying the ideas will work for her, but not him. 

Isn't that interesting. 

Clinton is trying to out socialize herself over Sanders and Trump is trying to out conservative, Cruz. 

Is this a new phenomenon? Absolutely not. But it tells you who has the most BS in my opinion because one is hiding thief true nature. I do not like that. Why do you think the polls are starting to favor Sanders? Why do you think Trump is virtually tied with Cruz? I think people are starting to wake up as I have. 

I would much rather have a tried and true individual as somebody who is afraid to even admit one's true beliefs. 

The Real Situation: It's About Issues

This article will be based on the two leading republican candidates in this current pre-election period. If you want to know my stance on the democrats running, read the blog titled Communism In America. 

One guy says he's an outsider and he has enemies to prove it. Another guy says he's an outsider because he's never ran a public office in his life. Why are both attractive? Here's what's going on in my head: I like Trump because he's not afraid to speak his mind. He doesn't care what people think, it's his way or the highway. He has an enormous company to prove how successful he is. In fact, I have read, he's the reason NYC is what it is today. He was buying places up when nobody else thought it was a good idea. He then turned it into something special and that alone leads me to another point: his love of country. If he goes that far for a city, imagine what he could do for his country!

Why I like Cruz: he speaks in full sentences, you can tell he's smart by the terms and clear/simple phrases he uses to explain incredible detail. He is also not afraid to speak his mind. He is a bit more calm in this aspect though. Kind of how much I liked Carson because he could shred you to pieces in one sentence. Cruz does this very well. Did he not make himself clear enough during the last debate with the NY values? I think so. Trump fought back beautifully..but also very wrong. 

Trump has gotten approval by Palin. A lot of people are praising this but there are some questioning this as well. Over the past few days I, too, have been questioning my support for Trump. This goes back before Palin announced her support. His attacks are very democratic in the sense they confuse us with topics and situations that, I personally, don't care about. I have looked into this birth issue. I have looked into this whole "owned by the banks thing". I listen to speeches because I refuse to listen to clips and sound files unless it is from a tried and true reliable, no spin, source.

I see these attacks on Cruz, and I cannot help but think back to when Trup was talking about Carson and the whole stabbing with a knife thing. Supposedly a belt buckle stopped the knife from penetrating or something like that. Why didn't I question that before? Why is it different with Cruz? Meanwhile, Cruz is giving a speech to Christians in Iowa or someplace like that. Cruz is solid as a rock. I know it, and I'm sure everybody who is reading this feels the same way, even if you disagree with his views. I think that's the same feeling with Trump as well because he continues to speak his mind. He continues to speak his mind about whomever, wherever. But why is it different with Cruz?

This is a question I have not been able to answer. Is it because Cruz is a bonafide conservative? People aren't questioning his faith? People did with Trump, if you remember. Is it because they are both hated by the media? Maybe this is what the media wants? After all, they are quoted on saying they want the republican candidates to duke it out on stage more because it's better for ratings. 

I don't like the mindless attacks, using the NYFD and NYPD and most importantly, 9/11 as a political tool. That drives me crazy when Trump brings that up. I want to hear how you're going to build the strongest military the world has ever seen. I want you to talk about how a wall, a big beautiful wall is going to be built and how Mexico is going to pay for it. I want you to talk trade. I want you to talk about how bad communism and socialism are. I don't want to hear about how Cruz is controlled by the bank due to a personal bank loan. 

That's why I am moving away from Trump. I've always been teetering back and forth between these two, and Carson. But, since one is on his way out, and one keeps bringing up non-issues, Cruz has my attention more so, now than ever. No matter how successful you are at building a company.
