Lex’s finalists for 2013 Man of the Year

Ted Cruz.  He is POing all the right people.  Rats do not like him because he’s NOT a go along get along while stuffing your own pockets from the treasury kind of guy.  Rats: “Don’t rock the boat Ted.  We don’t have the votes. So, we should do nothing except grab what we can for ourselves until we can win an election.”  Ted:  “How do you expect to ever win an election if you do not stand for anything?”

Dopes don’t like him because he’s an effective voice of principle.  Notice, it’s not one of the Rat leadership, Boehner, McConnell, Ryan, etc. or any other entrenched Rat like McCain, Grhamnesty, Hatch etc. that have the Dopes’ panties in a wad.  It’s Cruz, Paul and Lee that have America talking about real hope again.

For clearly articulating that hope and not caving to the withering fire from Dopes and their MSM lapdogs all while being stabbed in the back by Rats like Pete King. Ted Cruz is a finalist.  Sniping Rats are on the short list for Lex's Richard Cranium of the year award.

Pope Francis.  It’s refreshing to hear the Pope say, “I’m not a Marxist.” That statement was made necessary after Francis condemned “unfettered capitalism.”  First, unless you’ve borrowed money from the Mob, there’s no such thing as unfettered capitalism.  I think what the Pope was getting at was that it’s our responsibility to help the poor.  That said, I’m still waiting for the first homily that tells Catholics paying your taxes and voting for Dopes is not what Jesus was talking about when He encouraged us to help the poor.

But much of what this Pope does and says is being misinterpreted by the media for their own purposes.  So they say the Pope moving into the Vatican hotel instead of living in the palatial Papal Apartment shows what a down to Earth guy Francis is.  Well, I’ve never been there but have read where the Papal Apartment is in fact a modestly appointed apartment.  I assume that description means “modest” by Vatican standards.  Not that it’s like the 400 square foot 2 bedroom Apts found at the Arlington Arms on the south side of Ft. Wayne.  But one would also have to think that the Pope’s suite at the Vatican hotel is pretty nice and not a Motel 6 set up.  One of the stated reasons for the Pope moving into the hotel was that he was a “people person” and did not want to be isolated in the apartment.

I dunknow.  The Papal Apartment is a sunk cost for the Vatican, so it’s not as if Francis is saving anyone any money by staying at the hotel.  In fact it probably incurs additional cost.  So money is not the answer here.  Appearance?  Probably in part.  He’s a good example.  And notice the media do not transfer the Pope’s humble home and means of transportation onto our own king’s lavish life-style flying hither and yon on separate aircraft.

The media and Hollywood crowd make a big deal about the Pope encouraging Catholics not to obsess on abortion and homosexuality.  Yea, for the Pope!  He told those Neanderthals.  The same crowd that cheers the Pope’s words of warning on those subjects some how ignore the Pope’s ABSOLUTE teaching that abortion is a mortal sin and marriage is inviolably an institution for one man and one woman, and that the Church’s position on those two subjects WILL NEVER CHANGE.   Uh Oh, how do they square that circle?  Isn’t the Pope’s position on homosexuality more in line with Phil Robertson’s (minus the talk of lady parts and men’s butts) than Time magazine’s who named Francis “Person of the Year?”

Last, is Phil Robertson.  Phil did more to expose the left for the intolerant hate mongers that are than anyone I can recall.  How did he do it?  First he spoke the truth.  Crudely, but none-the-less the truth.  Phil’s position on homosexual relationships are pretty much the same as Pope Francis’s.  Francis was named “Person of the Year” by Time Magazine.  Phil was excoriated.  No one has asked why that is.

Not only did Phil expose the left and their intolerance, he beat them like a drum.  He whipped the lapdog MSM.  He whipped the Hollywood know-nothings.  He whipped A&E.  He whipped Cracker Barrel.  He whipped Rev? Jesse Jackson and the race baiting industry.  He whipped GLAAD like an egg white omelet.

How did whip all those people?  Listen up Republi-Rats.  He did it by not bending his principle to accommodate those attacking him.  He told the truth and stood by it.  Anyone in the Rat Party doing that these days?  Oh yeah, Ted Cruz.

So, I’ll tabulate the votes today and announce the winner at the top of tomorrow’s post.
