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.
Insanity.
Nah. It’s a lesser evil. Actions have no consequence. Don’t worry a bit about all the Republicans that gave barry 100% of his heart’s desires. We won.
Antarctica has plenty of room. Send them there.
I agree. Ted is the best.
Thank you, Ted!!!
Yes. They would not like the cold.
But they cannot come here. Something has to be done to stop this.
It was all Kallstrom could do not to launch an attack on Obama the Clueless.
But now it’s Obama the Dangerous. He’s putting us all in danger.
Too late. Our problem is not bad policy. It’s bad people in power. Call for shipping them out, pass some law, build a freaking wall. It won’t matter.
” Trump is his own worst enemy “
I agree. That rant about Carson was stupid.
“Build another wall.”
Nope Canada only has the population of Texas. Invade the place and make Trudeau an exile. Just take the place over. probably 1/4 of the population wouldn’t mind. Montreal could become an independent country which would take another 1/4 of the population out of the way and the rest are Mennonites, and other assorted pacifist who wouldn’t fight back.
Invade on Monday and the war would be over by Thursday.
Seems like a no brained.
After attack he is saying, why he was mute on this issue?
I agree. But no one would ever do that. A wall would be almost as unlikely. But it would be the call if invasion were the other option.
If we did invade, half of Canada would pave the way for us with the cavat we eliminated the other half. They are us in many ways.
Kinda like us electing O-stupid 7 years have 9-11.
Bump
*have= after.
Amen.
Sorry your wrong, Cruz position has not changed from before the attack...you might want to do some research instead of just going through life blind. Cruz position has been to keep the refugee’s out. He hasn’t been mute in the least.
Trump said throw the Syrians out over a month ago.
He's a patriot, I'll give him that -- but he's still at heart a showman.
This scourge has to be aggressively repelled and suppressed, with prejudice, the sooner the quicker. There's no time to fool with letting a neighbor do what Europe as done -- nor in our own country.
Mum's the word as to the ways America avoids Europe's fate in this new Crusade. And we'd better not be so squeamish about the idea of detention camps -- I know Manzanar is supposed to be a national shame, but for its time, it was likely wise. For THESE TIMES, it will be necessary for the safety of Muslims as well as "infidel."
