Blending a muscular foreign policy with a combative domestic agenda, Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday told young conservatives the end of the Obama era will mean a return of freedom to this country.
Speaking to the Young Americas Foundation in Washington, the Texas Republican reiterated his opposition to Obamacare, the Democrats disastrous health care reform law, and tried to channel President Ronald Reagan in urging a tougher American response to Russian machinations in Eastern Europe.
Mr. Putin, give back Crimea, Cruz said, echoing Reagans famous tear down this wall to the Soviets in Berlin in 1987, according to Business Insider. Why is it so unimaginable for President Obama to utter those words?
On Obamacare, Cruz made it clear that Novembers elections particularly Republican efforts to take control of the Senate should be aimed at one goal.
I think those elections should be about many, many things, Cruz said. But they should be about repealing every bloody word of Obamacare.
Its tough to overstate how much Cruz has invested in the fight against Obamacare. During the government shutdown in October, he became one of the most prominent public faces defending the shutdown to kill Obamacare. When the shutdown ended and the Obamacare rollout became a national embarrassment of ineptitude, Cruz was partially vindicated but never got proper credit for it.
As a potential presidential candidate in 2016 and a prominent voice for Republicans regardless of whether he runs, Cruz commands attention whenever he speaks publicly. In Washington, D.C., with an audience of young conservatives, he commanded attention with one message Tuesday:
Americas miserably failed experiment with a man named Barack Obama the first utterly disastrous president in American history will be over in two years.
Let me tell you something, Cruz said, according to the Daily Caller. 2016 is going to be the second wave of the return of freedom to this country.

Unfortunately, it is not always so. My wife is certainly no leftist, but spends too much time on social media and none on FR, so her viewpoint is far different than mine.
There is a challenge getting through to otherwise correct-thinking people without seemingly berating them. As is, they do not see the evil that the left has created as clearly as we do.
The survivors will be freer, I guess...
To make any difference we have to get rid of whole agencies. I haven't heard any politician speak on those terms. But just as you said, that is what its going to take. You list is a good start.
Thank you for the ping, SunkenCiv- & for your thread, 2ndDivisionVet.
I pray that Senator Cruz is correct & don’t doubt so much that he will be. I don’t personally believe that B0 was “elected” a second time- there are too many lit embers (not just smoke), nor am I so cynical that I believe that so many people are uninformed, misinformed, or apathetic.
I think that more people than we realize are shell-shocked- & getting worse every day.
We need to help people remember that we are not “powerless” & we *each* have to act or else our worse dreads will come true.
We really, really need to somehow secure our voting process as the #1 priority.
imho.
"we"??
That's how we got here, FRiend. The GOP hates freedom as much as the Dems do. 30 years ago, if you'd told me that the GOP would control all three branches of government 2001-2007, I'd have thought it would be the golden age of liberty!
We're doomed. If you're young and have kids ...get out while you can.
If Obomba is replaced by someone of the same political persuasion, someone who is elected to satisfy some yet unfilled diversity checkbox, freedom will be gone forever.
Even a President Cruz will have major difficulty making this prediction come true as the leftists have so thoroughly infiltrated all levels of government.
But I’m more than willing to give him the opportunity. I don’t see any other options.

I pray he is right. Please, God.
Thanks for the ping, SC -— from one of those frequently guilty of negative postings.
Many of the negative posts are placed by Libertarian/Republicans. It is really tiresome.
That is the reason that it is imperative that we shrink the bureaucracy. Reduce the size of every dept of government and close some departments altogether.
I for one am turning my plowshares back into swords & hardening & sharpening them, for the battle cry is starting to sound.....Can you hear it? The soundings of horns the beat of the drums, the call to arms in the distance & growing louder every day......
For I am the angry Veteran they fear. And my Brothers & sisters in arms are gathering...and it is gonna get real ugly real fast!!!
It acknowledged that individual rights are derived from a Creator.
It was based on enduring principles compatible with "the laws of nature and of nature's God."

2014 will see the beginning of it — having Zero at the helm, accusing everyone of being a hater (codeword for ‘racist’ — he lets his seconds and media shills hurl that one) in between golf games and trying to rule by fiat merely pisses people off even further. And that will definitely get worse as the hollow shell of Obamacare is shown (not surprisingly) to be a humbug job.
I had a tete a tete (sp?) with a family member over an article about one of the fake churches’ BDS b.s., which led to a head to head about the relative’s regurgitation of the PLO line. They got a verbal beheading. Like perhaps everyone, it seems like everyone in the family is an idiot from time to time. :’)
Very.
