Cruz and Mark Levin discuss the situation and that Republicans need to Hold, Hold, Hold, as in the movie, Braveheart.

Here is the speech of William Wallace from “Braveheart”:
“I am William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny! You have come to fight as free men. And free man you are! What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?”
“Two thousand against ten?” – the veteran shouted. “No! We will run – and live!”
“Yes!” Wallace shouted back. “Fight and you may die. Run and you will live at least awhile. And dying in your bed many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one cahnce, to come back here as young men and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take our freedom!”

What a great movie that was. I hope to God the RINOs don’t surrender us. Let the Fedzilla stay closed all year as far as I’m concerned.
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
BTW...Check this out - One of the most awesome articles I ever read about all this by Ted Nugent:
KEEP THE FEDZILLA BEAST SHUT DOWN!
By Ted Nugent
I hear you, Mr. President, and I know exactly what it is that I am hearing. I hear the deceit and lies of the Chicago ACORN community disorganizing scam artist from hell, feeding the low-information voters more pap and anti-American propaganda in your feeble and disingenuous attempt to bribe more votes for the declaration of dependency society. Fundamental transformation indeed.
You are so cocksure of the ignorance of your constituency that you dare to brag that the federal government is America’s largest employer. That is nothing to be proud of and in fact contrary to the Founding Fathers’ vision of this experiment in self-government where we the people were supposed to be the ones in charge, not a runaway power-abusing, bloated, fraudulent monster like the slobbering, gluttonous Fedzilla beast of the New Deal and not so Great Society scams.
The 1970s Chrylser automobiles that wouldn’t run couldn’t hold a candle to the engineered obsolescence of Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, the laughable U.S. post office, the jackboot indecency of the EPA, the ESA, OSHA, USFW, USDA, NPS, USFS, NEA, FDA, BLM and the sundry Fedizillacrat alphabet-soup agencies blow-torching untold Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars without a hint of accountability or oversight by their bosses: we the people.
Who the hell came up with the government providing school lunches, food stamps, cellphones, rent, fuel, wars on drugs, wars on poverty, mismanaging forests, running parks, collecting taxes based on political affiliation, shutting down guitar companies and flooring companies based on the Lacey Act scam?
Go ahead, do us all a huge favor, and put the brakes on the America that never should have been. Of course Fedzilla employs more people than any company on earth, because the beast has hired thousands of inept, careless souls to do the job of a dozen truly capable, accountable individuals.
Let private entrepreneurs and private enterprise run everything. I know you haven’t the faintest idea what I’m talking about, but in the real, competitive world of professional business, we must actually live within our means and show a bottom-line profit, or the business goes bust. Look it up. It’s called capitalism, and it is the only economic system in the history of the world that rewards excellence, effort, intelligence and hard work, instead of your Mao Zedong insanity of punishing the producers and rewarding the bloodsuckers.
I smell fundamental change all right, and it stinks to high heaven.
Have you ever joined children in an American school lunchroom? I have, and I’ll tell you what everybody who has has witnessed – I watch the $6 billion school lunch program to “feed the starving children” go straight into the dumpster and right out to the local landfill. The food is not eaten, the milk is not opened, most of it is a big, fat, ugly waste accomplishing nothing more than further bloat, fraud and feelgood political correctness gone mad.
Experience more of Ted Nugent’s no-holds-barred passion and patriotism in his books and WND’s “Ted Nugent for President!” bumper sticker
Go ahead, shut down the embarrassing government that forces the boondoggle “you don’t need to read this, you need to sign it to find out what’s in it” so-called affordable health-care scam, while the king and all his cronies get to ignore the law of the land. You have got to be kidding me. In fact, you have got to be scamming me.
Go ahead and shut down the runaway Fedzilla freight train that dares give Susan Rice a promotion and a raise for lying through her teeth to the American public about the engineered Benghazi debacle.
Go ahead and shut down the government that actually believes Hillary Clinton qualifies to lead our country after failing miserably to do the right thing in Benghazi.
Go ahead and shut down the big lying machinery that declares the Fort Hood terrorist attack as a workplace violence episode.
Go ahead and shut down the joke that dares put the IRS jackboots in charge of enforcing a law they don’t have to adhere to.
Go ahead and shut down the joke of a government that ignores the needs of its military heroes.
Go ahead and end the train wreck that is the most abusive, fraudulent food-stamp and welfare scam in the history of mankind.
Go ahead and shut down a government that rewards Americans who have quit looking for work and has a list of jobs they’re not willing to do.
Go ahead and shut down a government that ignores the will of the people by constantly infringing on our right to keep and bear arms.
Shut down the scam where our employees can give themselves a raise without consulting with us.
Other than securing our borders and protecting American interests and enforcing our “equal justice under the law” laws, the rest of the government should be shut down for good. And oh, what good it would be.
How about some fundamental transformation back to the real America?
I love that statement but get the feeling that the author of the script of Braveheart might have borrowed generously from Sheakespeare's Henry V.
BRAVEHEART was indeed a great movie. I wish Gibson would make more like that. There are PLENTY of old roles for old/ole Mel.
Cue Toto.
and when you consider that 85% of the massive federal beast is still running, it’s hardly a shutdown.
Did you listen to the video with Mark Levin and Ted Cruz? If not, please listen to see the context of his comment.
Please add me to the Ted Cruz pinglist. You rock for doing this.
Borrowing from Shakespeare: he couldn't borrow from anyone better. There are good, better and best examples of plagarism. This is a GOOD'UN
Except the part where they pretended that Wallace was the natural father of Edward III, it was a great movie.
The man just gets better and better!
Considering Shakespeare’s penchant for wholesale “borrowing,” Willie wouldn’t have much ground for complaint.
As said, hard to beat Henry V.
True enough.
The leadership test for Boehmer is if he can get the so called moderate Republicans in the House to shut up and stop putting pressure on him to allow a vote on the bill the Democrats want.If they persist, especially Peter King, there ought to be a price to pay for their disloyalty.
No face paint (I hope)?
FREEDOM!!!
Gives me goosebumps every time I read it.
Done!
TED CRUZ: 
BTTT!
________________
It is easy to recognize the obvious PONZI SCHEME called Obamacare.
Obamacare has nothing to do with health, care, or medicine.
Obamacare has EVERYTHING to do with insurance.
Obamacare is a Federal Insurance Monopoly.
Obamacare is in violation of US Anti-Trust Laws.
Obamacare is a Federal Insurance Premium Collection Agency, aka FIPCA for Obamacare.
We CONSERVATIVES know that there will be other future Federal Insurance Ponzi Schemes, right down to the Insurance Premium collected for the inhaling of the EPA ruled toxic gas CO2.
Then FIPCA will be there to collect that CO2 Insurance premium from all citizens.
But I digress, so let us focus on the present.
If Boehner Caves In to the Court of Public Opinion, which is run by the Low Information Liberal “Mainstream” Media, and Obamacare is funded, Obama can then raise every year or quarter his Obamacare insurance premiums as high as he wants to, and the sorry US Congress can’t do anything about it.
Congress will thus be bypassed, and will no longer be needed in the future to fund the vote buying schemes of the social engineering POTUS.
Could Boehner be stupid enough to come up with his own Boehnercare Ponzi Scheme?
“hold the line” That was from the patriot, not braveheart.
He was suppose to make a Viking movie until he went on that screaming rampage, I dont know what he’s doing now or if he even has a career left. Apocolypto was another mind blowing flick. Nobody makes movies like that guy. When The Passion of the Christ came out I went and saw it in the theater and whoooooa, talk about blowing your mind. Nobody comes even close to making movies like him.
I always thought the Nobles in Braveheart acted exactly like the Rinos.
HOLD!!!!
Because in the midst of the Obamacare debacle the Democrats lost their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, the only way to pass the bill was as it passed the first time with no amendments or changes. So the bill that is supposed to reform health care in the United States is unfinished and wasn’t read by the people who voted for it. The truth is they didn’t know what they were voting for but there was tremendous pressure to get it done because it was the only chance they had to pass the bill. The death of Sen. Ted Kennedy and the special election to replace him is what changed everything. No one expected Kennedy to be replaced by a Republican, ending the Democrats unchallenged rule in the Senate so quickly. Obama and the Democrats can’t admit that even they don’t want the entire bill to go into effect because they don’t have the votes to go back and amend it. So they are forced to support a law that they know is going to have to be changed, but the Republicans aren’t going to pass any amendments, so the Democrats are stuck defending a bill they know to be terribly flawed.
Obamacare as it is being implemented may be enough to put the final nail in the coffin of a struggling economy. It encourages businesses to hire people for less than 30 hours a week and avoid the cost of providing health insurance. It’s a no-brainer for small businesses that employ a lot of people in low-level positions, like restaurants.

If you listen to the Mark Levin interview with Cruz he clearly mentions Braveheart - at around 8:00 min - 8:20 minutes Cruz says: House republicans need to be told Hold the line - it’s like that scene in Braveheart - Hold... Hold... HOLD
AT 1:25 into this video is the part
Braveheart - Battle of Stirling Bridge - Cavalry charge
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdlL65LD6I4
He was saying hold because they wanted to make sure the enemy had no chance to stop the horses before the spears could impale them.
Hold the line is at the end of the patriot.
Very good article, and I’m listening to the audio now.
One of the greatest lines ever spoken. Mel played it perfectly.
Pray America is Waking Up
I really want a new “El Cid” movie... :(
‘I call him the Aztec Warrior’
YEP MUCH TO THE CHAGRIN OF RINOS AND LIBTARDS EVERWHERE
AND BTW.... MUY BUENO CON YER BUENO...
CARRY ON SOLDIER
SEMPER FI DO OR DIE..
Good for Ted, quoting “Braveheart”. Love this guy!!! :)
So,when Ted starts quoting “Gladiator” that’s the signal to go to the mattresses??
Heston as the Cid...he did everything well, didn't he?
Learn something new every day.
When I saw the Passion of the Christ I WEPT and WEPT like a baby. I don't weep; I snerf a bit but "weep"--nope. I did for that movie. I'm getting snerfy as I think of it.
Apocolpto WAS a fabulous movie, truly a mind blower. The ENDING...wow.
I wish only good things for Mel and hope his career isn't quite over. He is just too good to fade away from us...not yet.
KING. What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark’d to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is Saint Crispian.”
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say “These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.”
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
What I find interesting about him is it’s been common knowledge for quite some time - practically his whole career - that he is mentally ill: He’s bipolar, a TRUE bipolar - not one of these jerkoffs who get fraudulent diagnosis from shrinks to excuse their drug addiction, but a true bipolar who goes into manic states then severe depression. If you ever heard his screaming rants on that phone call to that russian scam artist he was going out with, that is him in a manic state. That is the illness.
But what I found curious is just when Passion came out this whole agenda against Gibson started, trying to label him as anti-semitic, the movie anti-semitic - even though the movie is verbatim from the Bible. And just generally bashing him for his conservative views. And to me I really think to get revenge on him they used his mental illness against him. They drove him over the edge, put him in a manic state and he self-destructed.
It just seems so fishy to me - His marriage breaks up right after Passion as if someone was out to destroy his life - this russian bitch comes out of nowhere, tapes his phone calls and immediately releases them to the press. I just get a feeling that lib Hollywood set out to destroy him and they did because they didn’t like the success he was having and they just didn’t like a conservative getting all this success, especially one who promotes Jesus.
You hit the nail on the head, Grand. Hollyweird was out to get him. Gibson was also a practicing Catholic [with lots of children]. You KNOW how Hollyweird hates Catholics and evangelical Christians.
Hollyweird does what it can to destroy those who don't tow the line. Those who control Hollyweird are NOT interested in anything except money, fame, power and status. Nothing else.
And if you’ll notice, he never once used his mental illness as an excuse for his actions, why? Because he’s a man. Then you get these scumbags like Bobby Brown, or Lindsay Lohan or Kanye West - They act like assholes, get caught doing drugs, or drinking and right away it’s “Oh my shrink diagnosed me with bipolar! It’s not my fault it’s because I’m bipolar!” What utter crap. But a guy like Gibson who is a TRUE bipolar never ONCE blamed his actions on it. He took full responsibility for everything he did even though he was in manic states the whole time. It shows the difference between a conservative and freakin’ liberals.
http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/04/mel-gibson-anger-issues-source-claims-bipolar/
You are right. He's a man.
Oh yeah and by the way, that article I posted they write “He was diagnosed with bipolar” ...He was diagnosed in the early 1980s not today as they are making it out to be.
