Texas Sen. Ted Cruz thinks the Obama administration's plan to deal with refugees fleeing Syria is "nothing short of lunacy."
In an interview set to air on CNN Tuesday morning, the Republican presidential candidate defended taking extra precaution after investigations of the Paris terrorist attacks produced links to the refugee crisis in war-torn Syria.
"What Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are proposing is that we bring to this country tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees," Cruz told CNN. "I have to say, particularly in light of what happened in Paris, that's nothing short of lunacy."
Cruz appeared to reject CNN's comparison between the Syrian refugee crisis and how his father, Rafael Cruz, emigrated Cuba. He said it would have made complete sense to block his father from entering the United States, "if my father were part of a theocratic and political movement like radical Islamism that promotes murdering anyone who doesn't share your extreme faith or forcibly converting them."
Cruz ranks second in the Washington Examiner's GOP presidential power rankings.
Obama is confused and needs a Nap ?
Not if you’re a terrorist...
I just heard a radio news segment spokesman was a woman from the Refugee organization saying the governors can’t say no because the states get money from Feds for refugees.
It's TREASON!
His puppet masters want to put the Republic on ice. The same masters that make the Pukes go along with the slow mo invasions/takeovers.
They grow weary of ruling from the shadows, and of this Republic.
It’s ‘nothing short of lunacy’ unless your goal is to further fundamentally transform it. In that case, importing potential terrorists is entirely sane.
The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon.
The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ‘til I’m sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon.
“I can’t think of anything to say except...
I think it’s marvelous! HaHaHa!”

Go that one important step further, Cruz. You are getting warm.
Containment apparently means US food stamps and section 8 housing right next door to Grandma Bertrud.
