Ted Cruz vs. Obama



Katie Zezima writing in today's Washington Post

*  *  *

In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said President Obama is not interested in protecting the United States.

“I recognize that Barack Obama does not wish to defend this country,” Cruz said on “Fox and Friends” "He may have been tired of war, but our enemies are not tired of killing us. And they’re getting stronger.”

* CRUZ IS TALKING ABOUT THE MAN WHOSE ADMINISTRATION CLASSIFIED THE FT. HOOD MASSACRE AS "WORKPLACE VIOLENCE."

* CRUZ IS TALKING ABOUT THE MAN WHOSE POLICY IS TO DELIBERATELY FLOOD AMERICA WITH THIRD-WORLD IMMIGRANT.

* BROWSE SOME OF MY BLOG POSTS AND COMMENTARY AT RANDOM; YOU'LL SEE WHAT OBAMA HAS BEEN UP TO.

Cruz continued to call for the United States not to take in Syrian refugees because he says intelligence agencies cannot determine which of them may be aligned with the Islamic State, the militant group that has claimed credit for the Paris attacks.

* AND CRUZ IS RIGHT!

“President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s idea that we should bring tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees to America is nothing less than lunacy,” he said.

* ABSOLUTE LUNACY! DELIBERATE LUNACY!

Cruz said that Muslim refugees should "be resettled in the Middle East, in majority Muslim countries."

* SOUNDS REASONABLE!

But he said Christians should be provided a safe haven in the United States because he said they are subject to "genocide."

* ALSO SOUNDS REASONABLE!

Cruz said Obama does not want to do this and has "antipathy" toward Christians.

* FROM MY OBSERVATIONS OF OBAMA AND HIS POLICIES OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS... I'D SAY THERE'S MORE FACT THAN FICTION IN CRUZ'S ANALYSIS.

Speaking at a religious liberty rally at Bob Jones University on Saturday, Cruz offered prayers for the victims of the Paris attacks, as well as President Obama and world leaders.

“We ask that our leaders understand this is not some random, ill-defined random extremism, this evil, radical Islamic terrorism needs to be called out what it is, and it needs to be defeated,” he said. Cruz has, and continues to, criticize the president for being “unwilling to call radical Islamic terrorism by its name.”

* THERE CLEARLY IS SUCH A THING AS "ISLAMIC TERRORISM." MOST MUSLIMS ARE NEITHER TERRORISTS NOR SUPPORTERS OF TERRORISM, BUT ISLAMIC TERRORISM IS INDEED A REAL PHENOMINOM. AND CRUZ IS CORRECT; OBAMA RESISTS ACKNOWLEDGING THIS REALITY. AGAIN... FORT HOOD LABELED AS "WORKPLACE VIOLENCE" BY THIS ADMINISTRATION.

Cruz said “radical Islamic terrorism “ is “a malevolent force that right now, as we speak, is persecuting Christians, is persecuting Jews, is even persecuting fellow Muslims. ... This is an evil that must be confronted.”

* ABSOFRIGGIN'LUTELY...!!!

Cruz said last month that there is “no reason” America should “get in the middle of the Syrian civil war,” and has said that American troops should not be sent in.

* AGAIN... CRUZ IS RIGHT...

Cruz also opposes arming Syrian rebels.

* AGAIN... CRUZ IS RIGHT...

“We have boots on the ground. The Kurds are our boots on the ground,” he said. “We ought to be arming the Kurds and using overwhelming air power,” hitting Obama for “not wanting to upset Baghdad” and doing that.

* YEP. THE KURDS ARE OUR TRUE NATURAL ALLIES.

The Kurds, which populate parts of northern Iraq and Syria, are an ethnic group that has tried to seek independence. Both Iraq and Turkey have gone to war to against Kurdish separatists.

* SCREW IRAQ. SCREW TURKEY.
