U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz used his appearance at this weekend’s Iowa Freedom Summit to excoriate Obamacare, Islamic State militants and that other evil scourge: the Internal Revenue Service.
“The most important tax reform we can do is abolish the IRS,” Cruz said to the delight of attendees at the conservative event.

Turning his aim on Obamacare, the senator said it’s time to “repeal every word” of President Obama’s signature health care legislation.
But Cruz saved his harshest critique for Obama’s handling of Islamic State, the terrorist group some refer to by the acronym, ISIS.
“What’s happening in Iraq is the latest manifestation of the failures of the Obama/Clinton foreign policy,” he said. “What ISIS is doing in Iraq is unspeakable. ISIS is the face of evil. ISIS right now is crucifying Christians in Iraq. Crucifixion is not something that just occurred 2,000 years ago. They are doing it right now today. ISIS is beheading children who are Christians in Iraq.”
Cruz wasn’t just spouting words. He’s also taking action.
The senator filed legislation Friday to ban anyone from returning to the United States after he or she travels overseas to join ISIS or other terrorist groups, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
The bill, known as the Expatriate Terrorist Act, is Cruz’s response to Obama’s State of the Union address, which the senator said showed the president is “detached from reality.”
“President Obama’s approach to foreign policy refuses to acknowledge the threats our enemies pose to our national security, is detached from reality and making the world a more dangerous place,” Cruz said in Iowa. “We’ve seen the grave consequence of the Obama-Clinton-Kerry foreign policy unravel with respect to Iran, Russia, and now Yemen. That is why this week, I am re-filing the Expatriate Terrorist Act, which prevents Americans who have fought abroad for designated terrorist groups from returning to the United States.”

Lots to like about Ted Cruz so far!
Need to talk to JR about adding a “like” button for posts like this
John Boehner bought stock in healthcare companies in Dex 2008
You have to make sure he sells those stocks before repealing obamacare.... or he will block the repeal.
Yea, not such a nice thought now is it! Obama did nothing, Obama should have stomped
his foot on the IRS and fired everybody. We all know that would've been the right thing to do.
And you damn Democrats are now going to bitch if the REPUBS do this and fire every one of them!
The Repubs will have to clean up Obama's mess.
I say this because there is no way in hell you RATs are going to
win the WH after the last 6.5 years. There's just no way in hell.
The Communists took over in a coup in 2008, my friend. No matter who wins the White House & Congress, nothing will change. Eventually some other false flag 2nd Amendment parlay will take place, before we either say no more, or are disarmed. Regardless, the monster will finally show himself.
FR actually had a 'like' button for a hot minute, a couple years back. JimRob let it ride for a day or two, then disabled it for some reason.
Ted’s really got to get some portrait work done. I’ve seen very few good pictures of him.
I think we’ve all been thinking that thought...
Only a few of our Founding Fathers looked like movie stars.
I didn't say anything about Ted's looks. I said that there's a shortage of decent photos of him. He needs to get his pr people on the case, pronto.
