Prior to his speech at CPAC Thursday afternoon, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) didn’t mince words. He bluntly told reporters how nervous he is about the president’s final 20 months in office.
“The next 20 months are going to be very dangerous,” he said. “They are going to be dangerous at home. President Obama has reacted to this last election in a way that’s unprecedented. You know, prior presidents have been repudiated [and] they’ve reacted with contrition. [P]resident Obama, instead, reacted with anger and defiance.”
“I believe the next 20 months we are going to see a degree of lawlessness that will exceed anything we’ve seen in the previous six years,” he continued. “I think we’re going to see executive order after executive order. I think we’re going to see the abuse of regulations in a way that crushes small businesses, destroys jobs. I think we are going to see the continued weaponization of the IRS in the federal government, and it is going to be dangerous.”
He expressed hope, however, that Congressional Republicans will fulfill their constitutional duties and, as he put it, “rein in that abuse of power and provide meaningful oversight.” But unfortunately, he said, there are other concerns to be worried about as well.
“And I’ll tell you as dangerous as it’s going to be at home, it’s going to be even more dangerous aboard,” he emphasized. “Every bad actor on the face of the globe, from Putin to Khomeini in Iran to ISIS, has every incentive possible to do as much damage as they can in [the next] 20 months."
Why?
Because, he argued, "the tyrants of the world believe there is no credible threat or deterrent from this president.”
Without naked revolt nothing will happen.. as usual..
Next time someone tells you to VOTE this way or that...
You’re listening to a coward or a moron... VOTING is a fiasco..
In 2012 Myth Romney was chosen a KNOWN collaborator with democrats..
If there is any BALLS out there in the hinterlands REVOLT is all that is left..
IF there are NONE.... bend over kiss you’re FREEDOM goodby..
Europe is WORSE...
“degree of lawlessness”?
Lawlessness should be stoppable. Let’s see Cruz and others do some stopping rather than just whining. When they whine they are saying “hey this is bad, someone else needs to do something about it”.
If Obama forges through his opposition then in a way he deserves to win and his opponents deserve to lose.
LOUDER.
We have Mitch, Boner and our other GOP "leaders" ready, willing, and able to stand in the gap, and courts full of honorable and Constitutionally minded judges to stand athwart the ramparts of freedom and liberty, and a citizenry wide awake, determined, and imbued with good moral values and common sense anxious to see the right thing done.
What could possibly go wrong in a mere two years, anyway?
Mitch and Boner just RE-ELECTED with very few dissenters..
Prepare yourself for violent civil war. The game is rigged in favor of the left, and Cruz doesn’t stand a chance.
TED CRUZ AND ALL REPUBLICANS - PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!!
“Perhaps you should.”
Yes massa. Your one of those that like to make it personal. I however would never tell you to ....
Maybe your sated by a bunch of yadayada and no action from republicans, I however am not. In fact I am sick of the fraud the republicans are playing on the people. In my world a promise to protect betrayed makes them as bad as the asshole in the white house.
Not sure that your average ISIS terrorist speaks English and/or it's slang.
Put a picture of Mohammed on the cage.
and he is a muslim with a pile of nukes at his disposal. 12th imam not to far off.
“Every bad actor on the face of the globe, from Putin to Khomeini in Iran to ISIS, has every incentive possible to do as much damage as they can in [the next] 20 months.”

About bloody time some leader said what I’ve been saying for six years.
If our guys have dirt under their fingernails, democrats have sh*t oozing out of their eyes and pores. You agree Paladin, right?
I Take It You Are Very Angry. It Is Justifiable Too!
Hey, brainiac, why don't you tell Ted your brilliant plan for a single Senator to single handedly stop the President, when his own GOP party is fighting against him. Maybe Ted can develop superpowers like Magneto in your imagination. Maybe Ted can summon sealife like Aquaman to jump out of the Potomac to slap the COC gargling RINOs around with their fins until they impeach.
Until then, you can shut the F up.
Cruz or Lose 2016
Cruz and Lee are the only ones doing anything. If there were other courageous people in Washington like them, maybe there would be some hope to stop obama. What are they supposed to do? Go to the WH and pull Obie out by his ear? Everyone BUT them is failing to live up to what they were hired or elected for.
Whomever declared to Obama, “You lie!” should be given the Medal of Freedom.
HOORAY Ted!
What the hell is with all this Ted Cruz hate on this board. This man has done more than any other congress person in the last two years to shine a light on this bad actor administration.
I don’t see anything else getting done except for a bunch of keyboard commandos tearing down the conservatives in the trenches for some perceived lack of conservative purity.
If you are not going to stand up then shut up.
