Ted Cruz: Obama Can Put an Embassy in CUBA But Not in Jerusalem?

Daily Surge ^ | 07/02/2015 | Jerome Hudson

As I wrote earlier, Obama’s logic is completely upside-down.

The Communist country of Cuba is currently holding hundreds of political prisoners and is still funding terrorism around the world, but Barry has no problem normalizing diplomatic relations with the Communist Castro brothers, reestablishing an embassy in Havana, and opening up travel and trade with Cuba’s murderous regime.

It’s a horrific decision from start to finish.

Thankfully, Ted Cruz is out there saying the same thing more eloquently than I ever could.

“How sad is it that under the Obama administration the United States is going to have an embassy in Havana before we have an embassy in Jerusalem?” Cruz asked talk radio host Hugh Hewitt.

Cruz asked how is it that “this administration will be friendlier to a Communist dictator who hates America and seeks to undermine our nation, than it is willing to stand with our close friend and ally, the nation of Israel?”

“I think it’s wrong,” he said.

It is wrong and there really is no answer but that Obama doesn’t see the Castro bastards as murderous dictators. Obama doesn’t give a flying flip about the hundreds of people being locked away forever in Cuba, simply because they dared to demand to be treated like human beings with equal protection on the law.

It’s disgusting that Obama will celebrate putting an embassy in Cuba while remaining silent in the face of so much evil and oppression. And the media will be right there to kiss his butt along the way.

UGH!

We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The Left views the terrorists Che, Raoul and Fidel as heroes, but views the Israelis as terrorists.

No amount of data, facts or logical argument will change their minds.

During the 2012 Democratic Convention there was a huge floor fight on Obama wanting to remove God from the platform (which did not pass) and he wanted to stop recognizing Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel (which did pass).

Why? Because as a muslim he can't stand the thought of Israel laying claim to a muslim holy place.

[Leep]

I can’t get past the feeling Obama wants to live in Cuba once he is done screwing up the US.

[Ben Ficklin]

The US has never recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. No US president has ever recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. No other nation in the world has ever recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Positions on Jerusalem

there should be an embassy in taiwan too!

The Left views the terrorists Che, Raoul and Fidel as heroes, but views the Israelis as terrorists.

More and more the Left views the Israelis simply as Juden.

[Bluestocking]

It’s time to look on the bright side.

Before our eyes, the American Left is destroying itself. It’s changing from being a group of angry socialists led by a Black president who cannot be criticized because of his color and who controls the media, to a group of angry socialists being led by an old white male presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, whose every word invites ridicule, who controls no media, and whom Wall Street fears and will use its billions to destroy.

Bernie is now attracting larger crowds than Hillary. The Left is becoming open followers of a wildly anti-American socialist. The media won’t dwell on this phenomenon until Bernie wins the New Hampshire primary, so it’s no use bringing on the popcorn now, but we can still start opening the champagne.

but not in Jerusalem, the true capital of Israel and future capital of the World. It will be moved there as soon as we can get the Muslim in chief out of office .

[kenmcg]

Ok, the commie in chief puts an embassy in Havana. You know what will happen when a Cuban turns up on the doorstep and asks for political asylum.....poor guy or gal will be finished.
