Sen. Cruz's speech will inspire you. He takes no DC elite prisoners. For instance: "Why are we here today in a lame duck? Why is there a session of congress, the 2nd week of December, with so many members voting, who the American people just said they no longer want to be represented by. Why are there so many members getting ready to land a cushy law firm and lobby interest job, and industry and trade associations? All of our colleagues , whole bunch of them, we’re going to see them again— except, they’ll have more expensive suits, more finely tailored, and come with an army of lobbyist aides with them. Both the house and the senate are filled with people who won’t be here next year, and that’s not an accident . Because these bodies are voting to fund a trillion dollar spending bill, and those members who were defeated or retiring are not accountable to anybody. They won’t have to answer for this, but it gets worse. I mentioned this omnibus is a payoff to K Street, well that’s where a lot of these retiring members, are going to go. So, what a perfect way to start to get your job is to insure that you come with goodies for the rich and powerful.

Cruz/the Nuge 2016
I believe Ted IS the real deal and, with the exception of the matter at the root of my humble analysis of one of his previous speeches, I hope he has good security. Some of the morons in government are likening him to Joe McCarthy. And we all know — or should — what they did to him.
I watched Ted Cruz during his valiant effort to halt the disaster called Obamacare. I hope you watched it as well. If he used it once, he used the phrase “...we no longer listen to the people, our constituents...” over a hundred times. And he was right...they don’t. And the fact is, THEY NO LONGER NEED TO.
I’ve posted my little rant on this topic before but Ted’s honest comment compels me to do so again.
*************
WHY THE POLITICAL RULING CLASS NO LONGER LISTENS TO US!
“When the servants of the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”
That was Thomas Jefferson warning that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency.
It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that unbacked fiat currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”
If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw another problem ahead.
In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”
If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those growing hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.
And this is for you who believe that we’re ALL equally screwed under this dishonest, fraudulent fiat money system: Inflation DOES NOT impact everyone at the same time and level. THOSE WHO GET THEIR HANDS ON THAT “MONEY” FIRST – BEFORE THE INFLATION ERODES ITS VALUE – SUFFER FAR LESS THAN THOSE OF US FURTHER DOWN THE FOOD CHAIN. THINK ABOUT IT (unless you’re an obama voter, in which case, let us know how you FEEL about that).
We won’t have even a CHANCE at an honest government until we again have HONEST MONEY.
That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.
We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.

PS: I was a 3 year member of the national board of CATS (Citizens for an Alternative Tax System), the precursor to the current Fair Tax organization. I fully support the concept of a CONSUMPTION TAX over the current Marxist INCOME TAX. That said, UNTIL WE GET BACK TO HONEST “MONEY”, WERE REARRANGING DECK CHAIRS ON A SINKING SHIP.
PPS: A word about the brilliance of this scheme hatched in 1913 by the elites: Economics is called “the dismal science” for a reason. Freepers are a pretty sharp group, and most who get this far will grasp the importance of getting back to a Constitutionally sound money system. But hand this to the “guy on the street” and his eyes will glaze over, he’d start drooling before he hit the third paragraph, throw it down, declare you crazy and stomp off in search of a much needed drink. We can’t solve a problem until more of us recognize that there IS ONE!
The hell-spawned excrement in the Oval Office needs to be addressed for what it is - Traitorobama.
I hope they shutdown the government for a few hours and McConnell wets his pants because the media blames Republicans for this monumental disaster.
I stand with Cruz.
My vote for Cruz was the best vote I cast since my last vote for Ronald Reagan in 84’.
This man is a true statesman ... putting the Constitution and his duty to the American people ahead of party and politics.
This speech should be required to watch in civics classes. I learned that the Senate is more corrupt than I currently believed.
Pure Statesmanship
This may seem strange...but the Ted Cruz video suddenly halts at 11:49, 36.35 and I lose internet access TWICE!! Going back for a third time otherwise will hear it in full on my cell.
Defund executive amnesty in the “Cromnibus”

The guy IS the real deal.
That was the plain truth, bluntly spoken in the most important venue it could ever be spoken in.
Either the fabric of the Nation stands and is respected, or the nation falls and we end up with a tinpot dictator.
I dont know what his point of order does. I hope it stops the Amnesty attack in its tracks.
Ted’s speech should be front and center in every civics class. He calls out the corrupt practices of a criminal senate.
Like the way he included the panty boys mcconnell and bonehead in with the criminal rats. He’s the real deal, he needs to gather a coalition of like minded strong determined men and women to roll over these criminals on both sides
Why are we here today in a lame duck? Why is there a session of congress, the 2nd week of December, with so many members voting, who the American people just said they no longer want to be represented by. Why are there so many members getting ready to land a cushy law firm and lobby interest job, and industry and trade associations? All of our colleagues , whole bunch of them, we're going to see them again -- except, they'll have more expensive suits, more finely tailored, and come with an army of lobbyist aides with them. Both the house and the senate are filled with people who won't be here next year, and that's not an accident . Because these bodies are voting to fund a trillion dollar spending bill, and those members who were defeated or retiring are not accountable to anybody. They won't have to answer for this, but it gets worse. I mentioned this omnibus is a payoff to K Street, well that's where a lot of these retiring members, are going to go. So, what a perfect way to start to get your job is to insure that you come with goodies for the rich and powerful.
Going to send this around for all I know to see. Hotline’n?
Never heard of it, but my Senator just exposed it to the American people.
I pray to the Lord Ted Cruz runs for president. This is a statesman.
B@st@rds. The founding fathers would have hanged half these traitors.
Good grief, how much more do we endure? The monumental fiscal mismanagement, the level of naked corruption in D.C. is stunning.
Most just tune out because they've just had enough or the pontification sounds like wha wha wha.
My heart aches for my country.
Partially because she didn't listen to the points that were made, and partially because she is not suited to even be a viable candidate for president in2016.
Was Lizzie nodding off?
At her age, it’s tough staying up past 9...
His comments were so far over her head she might have well be protesting in Ferguson. Yet, she want to be POTUS.
