Ted Cruz got down to brass tacks about what to do after the heinous Paris terror attack today.
Here’s his entire statement [emphasis added]:
“America must stand with our allies against the scourge of radical Islamic terrorism. This is an evil that does not discriminate between French, German or American, Christian, Muslim or Jew, soldier, football player, or concert goer. Their only goal is to murder those who do not submit to their vicious, totalitarian ideology. Our deepest condolences go out to our French allies, and I know the government of the United States stands by to offer any assistance necessary.
“We must now face the facts. Between the downing of the Russian jet over Egypt and this massive coordinated attack on Paris, we are seeing an unmistakable escalation of ISIS’ ambitions and the scale of their terrorist attacks outside Syria and Iraq. Even as chaos rages in Paris, we need to take immediate, commonsense steps to preserve our own safety. We need to consult closely with our NATO allies who may be targeted for additional attacks. We need to immediately declare a halt to any plans to bring refugees that may have been infiltrated by ISIS to the United States. We need to redouble our efforts to prevent ISIS agents from penetrating our nation by other means.
“Such steps, however, are defensive reactions to an enemy that will continue to try to attack us until they succeed once again. We must immediately recognize that our enemy is not ‘violent extremism.’ It is the radical Islamism that has declared jihad against the west. It will not be appeased by outreach or declarations of tolerance. It will not be deterred by targeted airstrikes with zero tolerance for civilian casualties, when the terrorists have such utter disregard for innocent life. We must make it crystal clear that affiliation with ISIS and related terrorist groups brings with it the undying enmity of America—that it is, in effect, signing your own death warrant.”
Many conservatives had already been calling this before the attack, now I imagine that there are a lot more who agree…
Meanwhile, over at the White House Obama is still trying to figure out just who did the deed!! Moron.
Start shipping the ones here back.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!
Merkel wants them......give them up.
Bring back HUAC.
Good move!
Politicians, the open borders crowd, and their media minions should be held accountable for any and all crimes committed by illegal aliens.
It’s what a Leader would do!!
BTTT
Problem is now we’ve got Trudeau up north who wants to let them all into Canada.
Build another wall.
Why does he even have to do that? Is there no one with a damn brain in Washington?
Bona fide Christians only.
Will Cruz put a hold on all Obama nominees for executive positions until Obama agrees not to settle ANY Middle East refugees in the United States?
Bad timing for Canada electing this guy.
Absolutely.
Former FBI director James Kallstrom was just on with Megyn Kelly and he is beside himself with rage, frustration and fear about what is going on.
He called for an end to these ‘stupid sanctuary cities’ and decried any thought of bringing young Syrian guys we know nothing about into this country.
It’s inviting a viper into your bosom.
Trudeau to make economic case for taking in refugees at G20 summit
Too late, the roaches are being unloaded in New Orleans as we type.
How can anyone NOT support Ted Cruz for POTUS? He is the brightest, most honest and articulate candidate we have and doesn’t have any skeletons in his closet.
Cruz can debate circles around anyone and can destroy the left and will be masterful destroying Rubio. Trump is his own worst enemy and will eventually be out of the running, IMO.
