Pledges to oppose any ambassador to Cuba or funds for embassy construction
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) issued the following statement regarding President Obama's announcement that his Administration has reached a deal with Cuba to reestablish full diplomatic relations with the communist country:
"President Obama announced today he is continuing his policy of unconditional surrender to Fidel and Raul Castro by rewarding one of the most violently anti-American regimes on the planet with an embassy and an official representative of our government. I, for one, want the Cuban people to know that there are still those who stand with them, and who know the Castros for what they are. I will hold any nominee President Obama sends to the Senate to be ambassador to Cuba, and I will work to disapprove any new funds for embassy construction in Havana, unless and until the President can demonstrate that he has made some progress in alleviating the misery of our friends, the people of Cuba."

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. 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 wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

Same with Iran. America should stand with the Iranian people, not with dictator Mullahs in Tehran.
It is a permanent stain on America’s diminished reputation that Obama failed to support the Iranian Green Revolution in 2009.

Think about it for a moment. Progressives/Statists love totalitarian dictators that enslave their citizens.
The Democrat party has always been the party of slavery and apparently will always be the party of slavery.

If they don’t want freedom enough to fight for it, they don’t deserve it. If we don’t want freedom enough to fight for it, we don’t deserve it.
