Was Snowflake Abandoned?

Photographs of Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) aboard a departing flight to Cancun during the Texas deep freeze stirred understandable and much deserved criticism. It’s perfectly acceptable to flee hardship if you have the means, but not when you are a public figure charged with supporting the welfare of the very community you hope to abandon. It’s a heartless public servant who professes dedication to his constituents, but very quickly deserts his community when tragedy unfolds. Apparently, this never occurred to Ted Cruz, and if it did, he certainly didn’t care. Rather than stay behind to do his job while his family fled to safety and warmth in Cancun, good old Ted donned his Texas cap and face mask and waltzed through the Houston airport seemingly unaffected. The incriminating photographs of Senator Cruz leaving for Cancun stirred swift, sharp criticism, which was later intensified when a reporter for New York magazine’s Intelligencer publicly speculated Cruz had abandoned his dog. The public was incensed by a photograph of the dog, a rescue named Snowflake, staring forlornly out the front door of the Cruz home at the same time Cruz was in the air heading to Cancun. Was Snowflake abandoned?

Every four years we come to the same conclusion, and define stupidity again—if someone does the same thing and expects different results, one is indeed stupid. As the nation considers who should be the president, we say that character matters but then vote people in who have no character. Every four years we talk about changing the Electoral College but then we do nothing about it, even when a single party has the presidency and control of the House and the Senate. Every four years we agree that our candidates run on obfuscation, denial, and negative campaigning. Each party does such a good job of digging up dirt on their fellow Democrats or Republicans during the primaries that the opposing parties do not need to find any material.
