	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "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 wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[P-Marlowe]

If this gets out of hand, as it appears to be doing, you are soon going to have African countries (and every other place on the planet) banning flights from the US.

[NorthMountain]

Ted Cruz for President!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Enthusiastic Ted Cruz bump.

America needs to protect America’s people. Now.

[ataDude]

There are NO direct flights from any of the countries, IMHO. The ban needs to be on persons holding passports from those countries... OR... persons who have traveled to/from those countries. Easy to do by looking at passports.

How long was Duncan on that plane? Could he have become contagious while in flight?

Who is to say that may not happen yet?

[Conscience of a Conservative]

With all due respect to Sen. Cruz, the focus cannot simply be on banning flights from the affected countries, since there are no direct flights from the affected regions to the US. The focus must be on banning travellers from the affected countries (or who have visited the affected countries within the 21 day incubation period.

[DoodleDawg]

Banning flights from the afflicted countries is a prudent, common-sense step until the epidemic is brought under control.

And since we don't have any flights between the U.S. and the afflicted countries, totally useless.

hope is not a strategy.

God bless Sen. Cruz for giving us the campaign slogan
for 2016.

How’s that hopey changy working out for YOU?

0bama et al are clearly allowing and helping Ebola to spread.
If we have a real outbreak, as we have now in West Africa, 0bama and his government MUST be deposed immediately by all and any means.

If people are dying in the streets, we will be long past a civil political solution and adherence to constitutional procedure. I suppose we could have Ebola infected patients march on DC if they have the energy . The military had better start thinking about a coup.

The elitists, globalists and eugenicists have gone too far. As Sun Tzu would probably agree, the people will soon be fighting on desperate ground.

[Reno89519]

Talk is cheap. Where is some action? SENATOR Cruz should be in Washington with his SENATE and HOUSE colleagues doing something. They could craft a bill banning direct and indirect traffic from Africa, close the border, etc. Nope, they like to talk, not act. If Senator Cruz thinks he might someday want to be president (despite questions about his citizenship, fair-is-fair, many of us challenged Obama’s, Cruz has issues), anyway, if he wants to be president, here is the perfect opportunity to step up and show some action, to move beyond cheap talk.

No, ban all passports and visas.

[bufferina]

Last night Drudge announced that Speaker John Boehner took a stand and is now in favor urging a ban. Just hung up from Steve Chabot’s office and he announced on a radio show last week that he thought it was something the administration should consider.

Doesn’t the State Department make this call? Congress can request or do they use the power of the purse?

Please call your reps and ask them to do the right thing and ban.....

I am trying to get through to Portman’s office.

[GOPJ]

I asked how many Ebola patients they could reasonably handle with these protocols. “Six or so,” they responded. What if, God forbid, we saw 8,000, as in West Africa? They had no answer. We shouldn’t risk finding out what that answer might be.

Six IF they're willing to dump a large chunk of their other patients...
