Cruz urges armed protesters in Oregon to 'stand down'

The Hill ^ | 1/4/16 | Timothy Cama

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Our Founding Fathers did not "stand down" to defend liberty!!!

[Psalm 144]

No they did not. If this is an example of Cruz’s scholarship... he is way overrated.

[grania]

Has Ted Cruz conveyed the same message to Black Lives Matter protestors?

[gwgn02]

Cruz is right again.

This isn’t the fight or hill to die on, this is no Bundy ranch situation and its no wonder the militia’s themselves aren’t rallying and flooding in to this situation.

This will all just fade away as it should.

Watch and learn from a credible patriot in his own backyard.

Ted Cruz is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[taxcontrol]

Bundy’s ranch stand off was a bad hill to die on.

This cause is a far stronger one. The father and son did their time over something that they should not have had to go to jail for .... and now a judge wants to set aside the spirit of double jeopardy to make them serve an even longer term because of “minimum” sentencing lawsx

[amorphous]

Another Bump for Trump!

Armed US PATRIOTS In Standoff With Feds NOW/OREGON

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Cruz blinks, just like I suspected that he would.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Show me the hill you are willing to die on... Point to it.

[demshateGod]

I disagree with Cruz. This should happen in every state. Follow the law? Hah! What law? The constitution is shredded by Fedgov. We have to follow their arbitrary laws and risk being called criminals at their whims. Screw that.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

I remember when someone else gave an order to "Stand Down"...

[nomad]

This plays right into the rat`s hands, right when they`re going for ‘executive action’ on their precious gun control. It screams False Flag, too much coincidence for me.

[gwgn02]

I’ve already put boots on the ground on one of those hills...YOU? This isn’t it.

[demshateGod]

Has Trump commented?

[wideawake]

Are armed BLM members currently occupying any federal properties that you know of?

[nomad]

I`d bet these Bundys are being manipulated, its too coincidental too be anything but a set up, a False Flag operation.

[plain talk]

Cruz is exactly right on this one.

[Trumpinator]

I would support the Bundy's if I can get some sort of evidence they are upright citizens - I say this without knowing if I can or can not trust the Bundy's to be right on the matter.

I don't want to get burned (pun not intended) by backing some group I assume are correct and end up being kooks or con artists or some such.

Can anyone point to me a good conservative source that is neutral that can allow me to verify the bona fides of this?

I am far from cattle country and don't understand the arguments involved all that well from the Bundy side.

[wideawake]

Has Trump commented?

Well, we know this.

If Trump agrees with Cruz, then Cruz is just parroting Trump's sage analysis.

If Trump disagrees with Cruz, then Cruz is an establishment puppet.

[Nextrush]

I don’t want violence either, I pray for peace and all involved, but I don’t know if ‘standing down’ is the answer....

Without the Bundy’s actions, we would not be aware of what the feds are getting away with out West and talking about it.

Our talking isn’t going to stop the feds getting what they want, the Bundy’s have been able through their actions last year to stop the feds dead in their tracks regarding their family land.

I am torn, but I’m not exactly jumping on Ted’s bandwagon in this case with ‘stand down’.
