And So It Begins... The Race Of 2016 Has Begun

March 23, 2015 - Texas Senator Ted Cruz Announces Bid For White House

So if you have been visiting another planet lately and haven’t heard, the presidential race for 2016 has truly begun with the first entrant being one Senator Ted Cruz from the fabulous state of Texas. 

He announced his candidacy at Liberty University, that most sacred of all places both Christian and Conservative. Somewhere, probably heaven, Jerry Falwell was smiling approvingly as his school was used to be not only a starting place for a presidential campaign, but a symbol of what the candidate wanted to communicate as his core values of faith and liberty. 

But of course there was that earlier pre-campaign release of the masterpiece of country music videography know as “Stand Up With Hillary,” in which we learned that she is “a daughter and a mother,” as well as all of the other things that Hillary Clinton has in common with most country music fans, like the fact that she is “a daughter and a mother.” And by that I must insist that it is meant in the purely biological sense. 

So here we are, at the beginning of the end of the dark time we must affectionatley call the Obam-ocalypse, or if you prefer, the Great Regression, or the time of community organizing run amok.  Whatever you can call a time of stagnating wages, eroding morals and ethics, and a near total loss of respect around the world, absolute breakdown of trust between races, and a new level of general malaise brought about by a complete loss of confidence in any kind of leadership, then call it that if you want. My word for it in the english language is C-R-A-P. But I digress, having given in to the temptation to say what is on my mind, instead of going to the good news. 

Yes, the good news. Which is that we will get a new leader in a scant, short twenty or so months. Enjoy your time on Airforce One, Barack, because your ticket has an expiration date, and that’s a good thing. (Cue theme music, "Leavin' On A Jet Plane.")
