Ted Cruz: Obama 'an apologist for radical Islamic terrorists'
Politico ^ | 2/19/15 7:32 AM EST | Nick Gass

“ISIS is the face of evil, and these latest atrocities … our heart breaks,” he said on the Fox News program “The Kelly File” on Wednesday night, using an alternate acronym for the terrorist group. “And to see 21 Coptic Christians murdered, beheaded by radical Islamic terrorists, to see 45 people lit on fire … this is horrific and it is deliberate and it is targeted at Christians. It is targeted at Jews. It’s targeted at Muslims in the region who do not accede to the radical Islamist view.”

The president defended his words on ISIL on Wednesday during the White House summit on violent extremism, reiterating that the United States is not “at war with Islam.”

“We are at war with people who have perverted Islam,” he said during his closing speech.

Cruz also slammed remarks from State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf, who said earlier this week that the U.S. “cannot kill its way out” of the war against ISIL, suggesting an examination of the root causes of extremism in addition to military action.

“Now, with respect, that is idiocy,” he said. “The solution here is not expanded Medicaid. The solution is the full force of U.S. military power to destroy the leaders of ISIS. They have declared war … jihad on the United States. Jihad is another word the president doesn’t say.”

Cruz then blasted a “false moral relativism” from the administrating, admonishing the president for remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast in which he mentioned people who “committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”

“Now last I checked, the Crusades began a millennia ago, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask the president to stay in the current millennium,” Cruz remarked, before suggesting the president take a cue from his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Cruz praised al-Sisi, a Muslim, who used the occasion of his New Year’s Day speech to speak out against religious extremism.

“Why don’t we see the president of the United States demonstrating that same courage just to speak the truth about the face of evil we’re facing right now?” he asked.

"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

The bottom line is we have a radical Muslim as President. The evidence is BEYOND overwhelming. Democraps in all their brilliance put the freakin’ enemy in the White House, Congress knows this and refuses to do anything about it. They would rather have this piece of rat filth burn the country to the ground rather than risk their own sorry asses to save the country. F them, they are slime of the slime, beyond contempt. All the vets who died, were maimed for life fighting to free Iraq and this piece of Islamo vomit gave it all right back to the enemy. 11 acts of blatant hardcore treason by this President SO FAR and Congress does absolutely nothing about it.

As the head of Moslem Brotherhood in America, he is, of course, an apologist for Moslems.
