Ted Cruz on Tuesday said that the threat from radical Islamic terrorists can’t be defeated when the Obama administration refuses to acknowledge the true nature of that threat.

‘We cannot defeat radical Islamic terrorism with an administration that is unwilling to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’” Cruz said as the International Association of Firefighters Legislative Conference and Presidential Forum in Washington, D.C. During his speech to firefighters and paramedics Cruz addressed the Obama administration’s foreign policy.

“The respect America has in the world has never been lower than it is right now,” Cruz said. “Let’s take one example that all of us are intimately familiar with – radical Islamic terrorism. “We cannot defeat radical Islamic terrorism with an administration that is unwilling to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’” Cruz said. “It doesn’t make sense to refuse to acknowledge the nature of the threat we are facing.”

You cannot defeat radical Islam with a person with a name like Barack Hussein Obama.

That should have been our first clue, America.

It would not have taken a great deal of opposition research to connect all of the dots from his parents to Frank Marshall Davis to Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright and all of the rest.

What a pathetic state of affairs.

You'll have to buy TheBlaze TV to watch it.

Cruz is that big government democrats and big government republicans fear the most. That makes him my first choice.

Totally agree with you. If he has both sides quaking, you know he’s doing something right. He’s human and not perfect, but he’s got my vote over anyone else. Integrity and cojones!
