Backing up his son.

That’s impressive.

Go Ted. :D

Hi.

Don’t want to borrow trouble - I greatly admire Rafael and agree Ted is mirroring his father - but I hope nobody tries to put Rafael’s words into Ted’s mouth in order to associate HIM with the “Obama should go back to Kenya” remark.

Wouldn’t do Ted anything but harm.

Ted will be on Jay Leno Friday night.

I’ll be watching.

Love Ted Cruz, but the “Kenya” part of this is NOT good for him.

David Corn needed a Xanax after writing that...folks who think like Rafael and me and probably you too scare the beejeezuss out of Corn and his fellow God rejectors

basically the entire staff at Mother Jones

a magazine sadly I confess that in the 70s former radical somewhat libertarian myself bought

anti establishment had it’s tar pits to be sure but I learned fast...by 22-23 I was moving on and by late 20s not a lot different politically than now

a pivotal moment were I knew I was getting more and more different than my liberal pals was South Africa issues....I was living in Manhattan then

(Ted Cruz hails his father as a symbol of the "American dream" who came to the United States legally—though Rafael Cruz began his career in the oil industry in Canada, where Ted was born.)

Ted Cruz talked about his father during his filibuster. He spoke of how he came to America - Texas, to the University of Texas - spoke no English but learned from watching movies over and over again. He recounts how his father washed dishes (they would feed you in restaurants), and how he worked up to cook and then graduated and got an IT job (and eventually began his own business). He recounts how at the place his dad went to get coffee, he saw the waitress throw away the heels from the loaf of bread. He asked if she'd save them for him. He'd come in, have his cup of coffee and eat those heels.

In April, Rafael Cruz, the father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), spoke to the tea party of Hood County, which is southwest of Fort Worth, and made a bold declaration: The United States is a "Christian nation."

Here's the essence of our problem with the left. They actually think that this thought is controversial...even scandalous.

I felt a similar pang but it passed quickly. Average Americans (so fed up with this poser) understand that sentiment because they’re ready to send him packing too.

I don’t suppose Cruz, senior would like to run for Cornyn’s seat, would he?

During his sermon at this church, Rafael Cruz preached that men, not women, are the spiritual leaders of their families: “As God commands us men to teach your wife, to teach your children—to be the spiritual leader of your family—you’re acting as a priest. Now, unfortunately, unfortunately, in too many Christian homes, the role of the priest is assumed by the wife. Why? Because the man had abdicated his responsibility as priest to his family…So the wife has taken up that banner, but that’s not her responsibility. And if I’m stepping on toes, just say, ‘Ouch.’”

Spot on!

Although I totally disagree with Mojo’s editorial stances, once in a while, they can still churn out an interesting insightful story to read. Reading this story, as long as they are stating the facts, I can’t find great problems with. The response is given as well from Cruz’s office. I can’t fault Mojo for merely reporting on a story.

We can say they are trying to find dirt but is there really any dirt here? President Obama has even made some sort of wisecrack about a birth certificate.

This excerpt from the story:

“A few weeks ago, he sparked headlines when he told a gathering of Republicans in Colorado that Obama has vowed to “side with the Muslims,” that Obamacare mandates “suicide counseling” for the elderly, and that gay marriage is a plot to make “government your god.”

Except for the latter, I think many people say this and that last thing I see I do understand, not sure of what is the best way to say it. “That same sex marriage will undermine marriage a cornerstone of society and could threaten religious freedom”? Maybe.

Fox’s Bret Baier Hits Back: ‘No Examples of a Host Saying the President Is a Muslim’

Mar. 20, 2012

On Monday night, Fox News anchor Bret Baier took a moment to set the record straight.

In response to President Obama’s claim, as reported in David Corn’s new book, that he is losing American males because “fed by Fox News, they hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7, and it begins to sink in,” Baier responded, “For the record, we found no examples of a host saying President Obama is a Muslim.”

David Corn’s book is called “Showdown: The Inside Story of How Obama Fought Back Against Boehner, Cantor, and the Tea Party.” In it, he “[takes] the reader into the Oval Office and the back rooms on Capitol Hill for a fast-paced and gripping account of the major events as they unfolded.”

How Credible Is David Corn?By: David Horowitz
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, April 14, 2005

In my political career as a conservative, I have had to get used to the unscrupulousness of my leftwing critics, and accept it as a fact of life. Whenever one of them puts a finger to the keyboard to write a story about me I know I’m going to be misrepresented and caricatured, my ideas will be shredded, my values turned upside down and the emerging picture will be an object of easy derision and scorn. Leftists long ago apparently lost the ability to argue a reasonable case.

On February 14th of this year, the Nation’s Washington Bureau Chief David Corn wrote a column about me with the charming title “Is David Horowitz a ‘Lunatic’?” It was actually the second time a frustrated leftist had so referred to me. The first time instance was Paul Berman’s charge that I was actually “demented lunatic” – I’m still intrigued by the thought of what an undemented lunatic might be.
