What type of man makes a half assed attempt at stopping the implementation of a bill that has been signed by the President, passed the SCOTUS test and will be put into effect whether or not there is a Federal shutdown or not? A Canadian born dual US/Canadian citizen whose father waited 38 years after the fact to become an American citizen and finally renounced the Communist country of birth in 2005, just in time for his son to run for office in America. Let us start with a look at some fun factual tidbits. Ted Cruz' mother was born in America, that made her an American. Ted's Father was born in Cuba, that made him not an American. Papa came to Texas, went to school, teaching himself English as there were no Spanish speaking people in Texas in 1957 to assist him with the new English language. Worked washing dishes at $0.50 an hour when the average pay in that line of work was $1.00- $1.25 per hour. Managed to get his degree in engineering and promptly moved to Canada with his new American wife. Lived the American dream due to hard work and no handouts (not counting the political asylum granted to him that allowed his entry into these United States of America), while residing in Canada*as a Cuban national (Ted leaves the Cuban citizenship of Papa out). This is the story as told by Ted and Papa, really. What is there about this that just doesn't sound right? How about all of it? Am I missing something or can one live the American dream while not living in America or actually being an American?
Green Eggs and Ham and Hitler; that was well thought out. Ted would have known, had he taken the time to actually read the book, that the antagonist learns that green eggs and ham are good and not bad at all. the great irony of this is that the book is a childrens book, the ACA will impact children to a greater degree than any other group of Americans. 40 million Americans are without healthcare, more than 70% of them are children. That's doing your homework Teddy. Marching on to Adolf and his happy party o' Nazis. These Tea Party types do love parties. Nazi Germany. Hitler gained power by utilizing the same tactics the Tea Party is now using. Vilify a religious group, blame the opponents for everything, toss in false information non stop in the media and restrict education by means editing out all thought provoking ideas. Add in the militarization of the police forces, spy on the people and turn neighbor against neighbor and force the country into near bankruptcy all the while blaming the other party. If only we had a Sarah Palin to ride her moose in to save the day. Not to worry, she is standing right beside Ted. I feel so warm and safe knowing we shall be saved from this dreaded ACA by the freshman senator from Texas and the failure half-term Governor from Alaska. Wave Old Glory, wave free!
did I piss you off? I will.
*Asylum was granted prior to the first entry into America and before entry to Canada.
