The Ted Cruz Didn’t Fall Far From The Tree – Daddy Cruz Is Crazy Too – Video

Ted Cruz’s daddy, Rafael Cruz, was selected to give the keynote address at the Adams County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner. And Rafael didn’t disappoint. Those in attendance heard the usual talking points including their fact that President Obama is a Muslim.

Here’s the transcript of some of Cruz’s speech.

RAFAEL CRUZ: So Barack Obama said: If the winds shift, I will side with the Muslims.

IN CROWD: He is Muslim!

CRUZ: [Exclamation] McCain couldn’t say that, because it’s not politically correct. It is time to stop being politically correct! [Pols emphasis]

CRUZ: Our lives? Well, look at what’s happening with our lives. From the cradle, 55 million babies have been murdered by abortion since 1973. At the other end, Obamacare, with denying care to the elderly, with care being rationed, with care being postponed for 12 to 18 months, with care being controlled by a group of bureaucrats, that on the basis of cost/benefit, will decide whether you get a medical procedure or not, they’re destroying our end of life. As a matter of fact, one of the things in Obamacare is that the elderly, every five years you must have end-of-life counseling. Translation: suicide counseling! [Pols emphasis]

CRUZ: I know I am in a Republican Party meeting. If you want to throw tomatoes at me, throw tomatoes at me. But unfortunately, you cannot say that the Republican Party is without blame. We have too many RiNOs in the Republican Party!

CRUZ: They have their minds made up, and basically their idea is this: you’re too stupid and I know what I’m doing. Well I’ll tell you what, we the people are not stupid. We the people ought to be smart enough to throw them out of office, or primary them, and put constitutional conservatives in their place!

We are still trying to determine if Cruz returned to the asylum after the speech was completed.

Christian Host Asks God For Military Takeover of President Obama’s Presidency – Video

Rick Joyner, head of MorningStar Ministries hosted his show “Prophetic Perspective on Current Events” on Monday and determined that President Obama’s presidency was a failure, and that the only hope for this great nation was for divine intervention using military force. Joyner asked God to speak to the good people of the military, in hopes that they would “seize the government!”

“We’re headed for serious tyranny, a terrible tyranny right now,” he continued. “But guess what? The kingdom is coming, the Kingdom of God is coming. And America is not the Kingdom of God. I think we have been used in some wonderful and powerful ways by God, we’ve been one of the most generous nations in history. We’ve done so much good.”

“That’s why I appeal to the Lord: Don’t let us be totally destroyed, please raise up those who will save us. And as I’ve been telling friends for a long time, no election is going to get the right person in there because the system is so broken.”

“And that the most crucial element of that is who to the martial [sic] is going to be,” he said. “I believe there are noble leaders in our military that love the republic and love everything we stand for. And they could seize the government.”

White House and Congressional Leaders to Meet to discuss Shutdown

With much of the federal government paralyzed for a second day, President Obama will meet with congressional leaders today in search of a way to end the government shutdown and increase the debt ceiling.

The talks will mark the first time Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have convened with Obama in person on such issues.

It’s unclear whether the meeting signals that both sides are ready to negotiate. Obama intends to reiterate his position that Republicans pass a “clean” spending bill, according to the White House, and Republicans also signaled that they want Democrats to give in on some of their demands.

The meeting would be meaningless if Democrats are still unwilling to negotiate, Republican leaders in both the House and Senate suggested.

“Just yesterday, the president reaffirmed that he would not negotiate with Congress, and Senate Democrats actually voted not to negotiate,” McConnell said through a spokesman. “So frankly, we’re a little confused as to the purpose of this meeting.”

The meeting comes as congressional Republicans are increasingly under pressure today to either hold their ground or take an escape hatch offered to them by Democrats and a small but growing number of moderate Republicans who seek to end the unpopular shutdown.

To do so would require the House to abandon its efforts to alter the Affordable Care Act, and instead pass a so-called “clean” funding bill that the Senate and President Obama could accept.

“I’m concerned about those that are on furlough right now,” Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., told ABC News. “I know what it’s like to make $30,000 a year and barely be able to pay your rent.

“My heart goes out to those people and that’s why I will do whatever I have to do to fund the government, to get this shutdown over.”

Rick Perry Says Enacting Obamacare “is a criminal act”

So when Congress passed the bill in both the House and Senate, and when President Obama signed it into law, and when the United States Supreme Court ruled the law constitutional, they all broke another unknown law and committed a criminal act, according to the brilliant mind of Rick Oops Perry!

Republican insanity!

At a campaign event for Republican New Jersey Senate candidate Steve Lonegan, Perry blamed Democrats for the current government shutdown because they were unwilling to defund or delay the Affordable Care Act.

“If this heath care law is forced upon this country, the young men and women in this audience are the ones who are really going to pay the price,” the governor told a crowd at the Bendix Diner in Hasbrouck Heights, according to The Star-Ledger. “And that, I suggest to you, reaches the point of being a felony toward them and their future.”

“That is a criminal act, from my perspective, to put that type of burden on them — to mortgage their future like that,” he added. “America cannot stand that.”

For his part, Lonegan insisted that he approved of the tactics being used by House Republicans, saying, “We’re shutting down unnecessary parts of government? Good.”

Lonegan’s Democratic opponent, New Jersey Mayor Corey Booker, blasted the Republican businessman in a statement on Tuesday.

“Steve Lonegan today underscored why he has no business representing New Jersey in the U.S. Senate,” Booker said.

“It was bad enough that he reemphasized his allegiance to the extreme right wing of the Republican Party and their efforts to hold the American people hostage by shutting down our government. But in an event today with [Perry], Lonegan also trivialized the furloughing without pay of more than 30,000 New Jersey federal workers.”

Peter King – 30 to 40 Congressional Republicans Don’t Think Obama is President

And I bet they all represent members if the infamous Koch controlled Teabaggers… Tea Party.

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said Tuesday that there are about 30 to 40 Republicans in Congress who refuse to recognize the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency and are seeking to erase everything that’s happened during his administration.

King made the remarks in a discussion with Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball, after the host asked how many Republicans would like to “erase [Obama’s] record as if he was never here.”
“I’ve had members, they know who they are, they say – ‘I really can’t say with these lips that this man, Barack Obama, was elected president’,” Matthews said. “They choke on that. How many are there in Congress on your side that represent that rejectionist front?”

“I would say there are probably 30 or 40 who are like that,” King responded. “As there were a number of Democrats who felt that way about George W. Bush, and going back to when you and I first met, Republicans who felt that way about Bill Clinton.”

King has been one of the most vocal opponents in his party to the GOP strategy of tying ObamaCare to the resolution to fund the government. He’s openly criticized Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who has led the defunding campaign, as a “fraud,” and on Monday sought to orchestrate a “moderate rebellion” in the House to continue funding the government.

House Democratic Whip – “Democrats Will Stand Strong on [ObamaCare]”

House Democratic Whip Stany Hoyer went on The Ed Show on Tuesday and reassured everyone that the Democrats are sticking together in opposition against the Republicans and their attacks against Obamacare.

Republicans took the unprecedented step of including a defunding measure of the health care law in their version of a Continuing Resolution, knowing their antic would gurantee a government shutdown.

Host Ed Schultz, in his introduction of Mr Hoyer asked, “is there any way Democrats are going to let Boehner chip away at Obamacare?”

My. Hoyer answered convincingly, “No!” He then went on to say that Democrats are going to “stand strong” on the law. And he assured the audience that Democrats are not going to allow the law to be “turned around or repealed.”

Senator Bernie Sanders on Senate Floor Rails Against The Republican “Blackmail” – Video

Senator Bernie Sanders took to the Senate floor and renamed the Republican government shutdown for what it really is… Blackmail!

This debate is not about the Affordable Care Act. That is something that should be debated, I think it’s something that can be improved. What this debate is about is blackmail and hostage-taking. What my Republican colleagues, especially the right winged extremists in the House are upset about, is not so much Obamacare, what they are upset about is that the lost the election in November.

President Obama won by some 5 million votes! The lost seats, Republicans lost in the Senate, they lost some seats in the House. What they are upset about is that the cannot legislatively accomplish what they want through the normal legislative process. What legislation is about is the House passes a bill, the Senate passes a bill, they get together work on something, the president signs it. They don’t have the support to do that!

So what they have now concluded is that the only way they can go forward is to say if we don’t get our way, if we don’t shutdown the United States government and kill Obamacare or delay Obamacare, why that’s the only game in town, that’s all that we’re gonna do. We can’t do it no other way.

Good Thing About Government Shutdown – KKK Rally Cancelled

If this is all we have to do to get the KKK to cancel a rally, then I’ll be the first to suggest a government shutdown every other week!

A planned Ku Klux Klan rally at a historic landmark of American history won’t happen due to the federal government shutdown.

The KKK event at Gettysburg National Military Park was canceled due to the government stalemate.

Park officials said they rescinded all permits for special events because of the shutdown that began Tuesday.

The permit had been approved for a Maryland-based KKK group, the Confederate White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, for a Saturday gathering.

Park officials had defended granting the permit, saying they have a responsibility to make the land available for citizens to exercise their right to freedom of speech, even if the views expressed are contrary to those of most Americans.

President Obama Calls Out Republicans’ “Ideological Crusade” on Obamacare

President Obama slammed House Republicans on Tuesday, accusing them of shutting down the government over an “ideological crusade” on healthcare.

Speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden, an irate Obama placed blame squarely on congressional Republicans and said the shutdown did not have to happen.

The longer it continued, he warned, “the worse the effects will be.”
Obama also maintained that he would “not give in to reckless demands” from House Republicans to repeal or delay the Affordable Care Act.

“They don’t get to hold the entire economy hostage over ideological demands,” Obama said.

He characterized the shutdown as boiling down to Republicans efforts to roll back ObamaCare.

“This more than anything else seems to be what the Republican Party stands for these days,” Obama said.

“I know it’s strange that one party would make keeping people uninsured the centerpiece of their agenda but that apparently is what it is. And of course what’s stranger still is that shutting down our government doesn’t accomplish their stated goal.”

Contrary to Republican beliefs, Obama said, the healthcare law “hasn’t destroyed our economy.”

Obama also reiterated that he would not negotiate over raising the debt ceiling. The Treasury Department has said Congress must lift the borrowing limit by Oct. 17.

Poll: Americans Strongly oppose The Republican Engineered Shutdown

The poll taken by Quinnipiac shows that by a 3-1 margin, Americans all over this nation disagree with the government shutdown and how the Republicans have been systematically bringing this nation to its knees.

American voters oppose 72 – 22 percent Congress shutting down the federal government to block implementation of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

Voters also oppose 64 – 27 percent blocking an increase in the nation’s debt ceiling as a way to stop Obamacare, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.

What Free Speech? Republicans Shut down Hillary Clinton Documentary

Celebrating the shutting down of production on documentaries by a political party that claims to champion free speech is, at the very least, hypocritical. But that’s what the Republican Part is doing now that both HBO and NBC have put documentaries about Hillary Clinton on ice.

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said his party “won a major victory against the mainstream media” Monday after NBC and CNN canceled plans for programming about Hillary Clinton.

The RNC had threatened to blackball NBC and CNN from participation in Republican primary debates for the next presidential election if they had fulfilled their plans of a miniseries, in the case of NBC, and a documentary, in the case of CNN.

On Monday, Preibus seemed convinced that it was the RNC’s threat that encouraged the two networks to drop their plans, though neither CNN nor NBC cited the RNC as the reason for abandoning their projects about Clinton, the former first lady, U.S. senator and U.S. secretary of state.

Why should NBC or CNN care if the Republican Party doesn’t want their debates on those networks? The party has more to lose from not having the widest distribution possible.
