Philosophy

Most of those who dislike Ted Cruz do it based on their emotions not logic.  Of course your emotions should play some role in who you believe is best to lead the country but logic must prevail.  For example I constantly hear people say either directly or indirectly that they “fear he’s a religious freak”, “don’t like the way he looks”, “find him to be fake” but when you ask them for specifics rarely a word is said or if a reference is made it’s to a general statement he made and then they assume it means something else. While on the other hand Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton & Bernie Sanders  (the only viable candidates now) have specifically performed actions or spoken about policy that many of their critics can clearly to point as why they don’t support these candidates.   I understand the emotional reasons that Ted Cruz opponents feel the way they do and believe Senator Cruz must do more to alleviate some of these concerns but let us allow logic to dictate this choice because unlike the color of our clothes we wear this is a decision that we will have to wear for the next four years.

If G-D willing Ted Cruz wins in Wisconsin he has to make a deal with the Donald that even he can’t refuse.  He should have his surrogates tell Mr. Trump that if he is elected President that he would insist on having the Donald be in charge of negotiating trade deals with foreign countries and building the fence between the U.S and Mexican border.  Mr. Trump will stay want to fight to win the Presidency but knowing that he will be in charge of running these key elements of his campaign should lower his rhetoric and play somewhat nice.  This way Mr. Cruz will be able to run on the specific issues in depth and G-D willing win the Republican  nomination as well as move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in January.

Our fellow citizens are dying on our streets while we too often walk over them as if they were trash. Let us point out one key fact most of these individuals have put themselves by poor decisions they’ve made (use of illicit drugs, untreated mental health issues, petty criminal record etc) yet society should give them a step to get out ASAP. Here is my proposal to end homeless (below). It combines compassion with tough love.

(1) LEGISLATION- Pass laws that make it nearly impossible to be homeless (ex no sleepy on pubic streets, anti loitering laws etc) along with funding needed to solve this problem once and for all.

(2) SELF HELP FACILITIES- Incentives will be given to private sector facilities (based on their success) to run locations that would help homeless individuals become productive members of our society. These facilities would be closely monitored to insure that abuse is not a serious problem and to insure their producing the desired results.

(3) ACTIVE HELP- Trained mental health professionals with the ability to protect themselves will go out on the street in order to bring such individuals to self help facilities (above) that can help them get their life in order. Those who refuse such treatment openly  might be forced by court order to get this help.  These facilities will be in competition for government funds based only on the success of helping such individuals in the short and long run and therefore must continue to provide counseling to those in need.

There have been some unseemly allegations made about Ted Cruz through a tabloid newspaper which I will not repeat here for no person should have their name and families name thrown through the gutter on just allegations.  Whether these allegations are for or against your candidate, friend or foe justice must still be blind and that isn’t just true in the courtroom but life as a whole.  When an allegation is made  on anyone their needs to be substantial evidence (DNA, Witnesses that collaborate, Video/Sound) before we should decide it’s worthy to spread this “innuendo” as a probably truth.  We must carefully consider what is the most likely motivation of the  accuser and/or publication making such an allegation, is it for justice or for their own glory? Are we basing the “truth” on fact or how we feel about such an individual? The truth about Ted Cruz’s, Donald Trumps, John Kasich, Hillary Clinton, & Bernie Sanders is simple without hard facts we must acquit.
