U.S. Senator Ted Cruz issued a statement Sunday regarding the gay nightclub shooting in Orlando.
Ted Cruz’s statement:
“Our nation is at war. From 9/11 to the Boston Marathon, from Fort Hood to Chattanooga, from San Bernardino to last night’s horrific attack in Orlando, radical Islamic terrorism has declared jihad on America,” Sen. Cruz said. “Early reports indicate the Orlando terrorist had pledged his allegiance to ISIS, and he had previously been investigated by the FBI. And yet, as with the prior attacks, we were not able to act to stop this act of vicious terrorism that has now murdered 50 and injured more than 50 others.
“Our hearts go out to those killed and wounded last night. Our prayers are with their families, and with all their grieving loved ones.
“It is a time for action. We need a Commander in Chief who will speak the truth, and who will unleash the full force and fury of the American military to utterly destroy ISIS and its affiliates. We need to pass the Expatriate Terrorist Act, so that known ISIS terrorists cannot use U.S. passports to return to America and wage jihad. We need a President who is serious – who will identify the enemy by name and do everything necessary to defeat it.
“The next few days will be sadly predictable. Democrats will try to use this attack to change the subject. As a matter of rigid ideology, far too many Democrats – from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton – will refuse to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ They will claim this attack, like they claimed every previous attack, was isolated and had nothing to do with the vicious Islamist theology that is daily waging war on us across the globe. And they will try to exploit this terror attack to undermine the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms of law-abiding Americans.
“Enough is enough. What we need is for every American – Democrat and Republican – to come together, abandon political correctness, and unite in defeating radical Islamic terrorism.
“ISIS doesn’t just target soldiers. They don’t just target Republicans. Or Jews. They also target Christians and fellow Muslims. They target each and every one of us. As we saw this morning, they target the gay and lesbian community. Their objective, which they broadcast worldwide, is to murder or forcibly convert every single American.
“For all the Democrats who are loud champions of the gay and lesbian community whenever there is a culture battle waging, now is the opportunity to speak out against an ideology that calls for the murder of gays and lesbians. ISIS and the theocracy in Iran (supported with American taxpayer dollars) regularly murder homosexuals, throwing them from buildings and burying them under rocks. This is wrong, it is evil, and we must all stand against it. Every human being has a right to live according to his or her faith and conscience, and nobody has a right to murder someone who doesn’t share their faith or sexual orientation. If you’re a Democratic politician and you really want to stand for LGBT, show real courage and stand up against the vicious ideology that has targeted our fellow Americans for murder.
“Today, all of America stands in solidarity with the people of Orlando. All of us should lift them up in prayer, demand action, and if you have any information about the Orlando shooter or potential radical Islamic terror plots, please act to keep us safe by using the FBI tips website: https://tips.fbi.gov.”
At your service.
Correct. Mosques are same as cancer tumors. In the beginning stage there are no symptoms. Then the tumors metastasize. At the end they devour the host.
This process has already taken place in following countries. Are we going to learn or ignore history?
Starting with a few nomads in the desert of Saudi Arabia, Muslims are now the majority in following countries. Majority Muslim countries...
Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Egypt, Turkey,
Iran, Sudan, Algeria, Afghanistan, Morocco,
Iraq, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Yemen,
Syria, Kazakhstan, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal,
Tunisia, Guinea, Somalia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan,
Sierra Leone, Libya, Jordan, United Arab Emirates,
Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Chad, Lebanon, Kuwait,
Albania, Mauritania, Oman, Kosovo, Gambia, Bahrain,
Comoros, Qatar, Djibouti, Brunei, Maldives, Palestine
Large communities of Muslims are also found in China, the Balkans, India, and Russia. Other parts of the world host large Muslim immigrant communities; in Western Europe, for instance, Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity, where it represents 6% of the total population.
Islam has 1.6 billion adherents, making up over 22% of the world population.
Same here. Don’t feel bad, many of us did, before we caught on to him.
;-)
Please tell us all how you’ve been lurking here since 1997 and forgot your password.
Welcome.
Correct, he is not rich enough to be an elite like Romney or Bush. He is just career politician who will say anything, lie where it helps him get votes.
“It is a time for action. We need a Commander in Chief who will speak the truth, and who will unleash the full force and fury of the American military to utterly destroy ISIS and its affiliates.
And who dies he think that CiC is?
Him?
Other than leaving out the obvious..that we need Donald Trump...good statement.
Thanks, Jane. :)
Trust me, TRUMP has not spoken to, or with, this spoiled brat from Texas, or Cruz would not dare to craft a statement that rejects naming DONALD J. TRUMP.
Cruz is scheming for trouble at the Convention, even in the face of ISIS claiming American lives, this putz is thinking of himself, and causing trouble at C O N V E N T I O N.
Period.
“........... in the end, Islam overtakes the nothingness the Progressives believe in.”
That’s good.
Yes we are at war, but I wonder IF any leader will say so. Seems we were told by the Ayatollah in 1979 THEY were at war with us, but no American leader ever acknowledged it since.
Yes the Mosques have to go. They are Islam’s canteens.
Why would he do that?
I’ve already encountered the Cruz’ folks tactics. The servants are like their master.
Forget it. You’re too naïve for words.
A man and a statesman would get with the program after ISIS strikes America.
But, not this poseur, for open borderssssssssssssssssssss and pathways for illegals to become legals.
He’s done. Cooked. Over cooked!
Why would he? Why should he? Ted Cruz is a Senator and releasing a statement from his office...not Donald J. Trump's office.
Besides, Trump isn't even the nominee yet. He will officially become the nominee convention time.
Thanks, y’all ;)
You bet.
