Ted Cruz’s Cuban Father Delivers Epic Speech Comparing Obama To Castro
Conservative Videos ^ | July 5, 2013

Posted on 07/06/2013 3:22:42 PM PDT by dontreadthis

Rafael Cruz, the father of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, invigorated the crowd during tonight’s FreedomWorks Free the People event. Describing his own personal journey escaping Cuba and working hard to build a life for himself in the U.S., the elder Cruz noted comparisons that he believes exist between Fidel Castro’s governance and President Barack Obama’s executive actions. Upon rising to power, he said that Castro, like Obama, spoke about hope and change. While the message sounded good at the time, it didn’t take long for socialism to take root in his home country. And he paid the price.

I believe Obama is more like a Hybrid Hitler, but this man has him pegged as Castro, and he is on the right track.

What he hell is wrong with the Congress to follow this man into the destruction of our country.

EVERYONE needs to hear this wonderful speech. Only 11 minutes, but very powerful. Since Obama has effectively thumbed his nose at Constitutional election laws, maybe a good revenge would be Ted Cruz for President in 2016.

Papa Cruz, I am sorry to say, needs to be careful when bringing up Castro. Mr Cruz did not come to the U.S. as a refugee from Castro.

This should be in breaking news - or at least in frontpage news. I wish the whole country would listen to this man. Now I am sure Ted Cruz will not let us down - his father will never let him be a traitor like the other GOPs..ha..great family indeed!

Most of the ‘black caucus’ are open members of the Communist Party USA. And anyone need to ask about the voters for such anti-American freaks?

God bless Ted Cruz and his family.
Wow. Texas really made a great choice there.

And this is the guy that has Lindsey Graham’s panties in a twist? And McCain’s?

Cruz came to the US in 1957 more than a year before Castro gained power.

Really? Why?

That he didn't come as a refugee excludes him from criticizing Castro? Odd comment.

He needs to be careful of speaking the truth about Castro?

The man is right on.

Castro should be furious with being compared to a second rate dictator.
