The KKK was never on the right. They were virtually all Democrats. Was Robert Byrd, Prince of Pork, and praised by Chris Dodd (D, CT. and great friend of Ted Kennedy) as someone who "would have been a great senator at any moment" on the right? Nix. Was Hugo Black (nominated to the Supreme Court by FDR) on the right? Nix. The KKK was moderate/populist left.

The Aryan Nations are essentially a criminal gang, and as such has no place on the political spectrum. Are the Crips, Hell's Angels, Gambinos, etc. left or right? They are neither. The question itself is ridiculous.

What is very concerning these kind of post have not any grounding. If you noticed the OP (Eddyline) went to direct cut. If anything the OP has failed to recognized that most Snow Borders (professional) are very Liberal. So he took a a swipe at his own.

President Obama has played on Border Security and has by passed Congress with Executive action. Does not speak well of Democratic Candidates whom are supposedly for the Law of the land.

Never mind a strong foreign policy and a balance budget (which is possible)

Dems are terrified on direct questions and answers.

Liberty U. Students Forced to Attend Ted Cruz Speech, Make Stand for Rand

LOL! That is the spin? A little lame when all the facts are presented.


These students are required to attend this meeting in the mornings, 3 times a week.
They didn't know, until this morning that Ted Cruz would be there speaking.

Following his sermon, he received a standing ovation. An ovation seldom seen in the auditorium, in which he just spoke in..

Part of the reason Obama won so easily in 2008 and 2012 is that the Republicans are fractured and the far right wing refuses to see it and support the more mainstream candidate. Unless Jeb Bush has really great political skills, the same thing will happen in 2016. The Republicans eat themselves alive during the primaries and the Democrat waltzes into office.

Hasn't the Constitution been compromised enough already?
We don't need someone like Dole, McCain, Mitt, or Jeb, with the spine of a worm, ethics of a ho and the integrity of pirates.

We tried all that and lost badly.
Some voters have principles.

LOL! Ted made the rounds here in Texas with Ron & Rand. Sarah Palin was nowhere to be found.
The Ron Paul Tea Party rally here, pulled in 15,000 people to the steps the the Texas State Capitol.
We all watched Ted Cruz make his first speech, to the people of Texas. He was an immediate hit.
David Dewhurst, didn't know what was about to hit him.

An University that calls itself, "Liberty" forces students to attend political events.

........... warned listeners of his radio show about the dangers of "the indoctrination of your children," saying that the and the "get 'em while they're young" approach of of brainwashing tactics.

"brainwashing" of unsuspecting and impressionable students

He had a career as a state legislator, which Cruz did not. And Obama was in the Senate as long as Cruz has been. He is in a crowded field of experienced, sane governors...he doesn't stand a chance.
