Discussion: Cruz: I Blame Obama For Carson's Muslim Comments

Consider it done.

Not to mention, he probably should have said ā€œmillenniumā€ instead of pluralizing it. It hurts the classical linguist in me!

Blaming Obama for a manufactured assault on christians, denying them the right to deny a persons constitutional right b/c of their religious beliefsā€¦but it would be unconstitutional to not allow a muslim presidentā€¦

I thought you were a ā€œconstitutionalistā€ Cruz?

I shit you not every time he comes on the TV I comment that I would never stop punching him. Which is really aggressive and violent and not too much like me, but manā€¦that guyā€¦ Never. Stop. Punching.

Edit - Ugh, now Iā€™m on some FBI list I bet. No, I am not actually ever going to punch Ted Cruz, even if I happen to meet him in person. But I will look at him with non-trivial disdain, nearly revulsion.

I donā€™t think itā€™s asking too much to ask this senator to stop willfully mischaracterizing the point the president was making.

Hahaā€¦rather than go with the violent response (which feel too btw), thereā€™s always an alternative:

Sure, itā€™s ultimately just fake doody, but it often gives me a giggle to think ā€œgee, what a fucking hoot it would be if we could organize a giant wave of what is ostensibly poop to be sent to some eminently deserving congresscritter.ā€ Cruz tops the list for me at the moment.

Ben Carson says something that betrays his lack of knowledge of the American Constitution and what until now was a deeply held American value and itā€™s Obamaā€™s fault. The Cruz stupid, it burns.

Ted Cruz: ā€œThe Crusades ended 900 years ago. I donā€™t think itā€™s asking too much to ask this President to stay in the current millennia.ā€

millienium = 1,000 years. 900 years is within a millenium.

Also, if Obamaā€™s criticism of The Crusades makes people say that a Muslim should never be the US president, then why wasnā€™t anyone except Dr. Ben Carson affected that way?

During the first debate, Ted Cruz said that he reads a Bible passage each day. Cruz doesnā€™t limit himself to the past millenium.

ā€œThe broader question, and what I think Ben was trying to get at, is what are (sic.) the consequences been in the last six and a half years of the Obama presidency?ā€ Cruz stated.

And I think Dr. Carson was trying to get at the fact that there is too much sugar in Frosted Flakes cereal. I think Senator Cruz and I are equally correct.

 You look at President Obama..." Cruz continued. "He has led an assault on religious liberty and particularly an assault on Christians."

No Ted ā€” The President has kept people like you from stuffing your religion down otherā€™s throats that donā€™t want it ā€“ Thatā€™s why your so pissed ā€”

ā€œThe Constitution says there shall be no religious test for holding public office, and Iā€™m a constitutionalist, but I think this whole noise is obscuring the broader question.ā€

Oh, really? What question would that be? How about:

Isnā€™t it OK to have a religious test if Christians want to? Becauseā€¦um, we donā€™t like Muslims?

Ted, you might as well compare a steel factory to unpasteurized milk from an Amish dairy cow.
Ted ā€¦Carson was asked if he (not Obama) thought that a Muslim should be President. Obama had NOTHING to do with the question. To answer the way you did makes me question your sanity.

After the election he will lose his protection, then someone will beat him down.

Ted, Dr Carson is apparently tired of campaigning and wants to immolate his candidacy. Let him. Get too close and that fire is gonna burn ya.

ā€œI would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,ā€

ā€œThe broader question, and what I think Ben was trying to get at, is what are the consequences been in the last six and a half years of the Obama presidency?ā€ Cruz stated.

Dogwhistle away!! Of course he doesnā€™t agree with Ben Carson that Muslims canā€™t be President, because our current President obviously proves otherwise (heā€™s a Muslim, get it? wink wink!). Heā€™s just saying that after six and a half years of having a Muslim President, why would we want another? After all, reactionary Christian zealots are so much more enjoyable on television!

Staying in the current millennium means that he is restricted to only the past 15 years.

Donā€™t give it a thought - there are a number of interesting individuals who, if they had the chance would have leaped at the opportunity to join you - some might surprise you - for example, good old conservative Barry Goldwater would probably have smacked Cruz silly for all of this idiotic crap. Bob Dole would have stuck his pencil in his eye. Oh, Tom Coburn would probably perform an orchidectomy on Cruz. and there are many more who would fee that this asshole has simple gone so far over the line that he should be in the penalty box for life.
