Ted Cruz weighed in on the Cliven Bundy situation with Texas radio host Chad Hasty Tuesday, and he called the standoff between Bundy supporters (some armed) and federal agents a tragic situation, but one that was the “culmination” of how President Obama has been pushing for a bigger and more intrusive federal government.
Cruz said that since Obama took over, “we have seen our liberty under assault” from a government “hell-bent on expanding its authority over every aspect of our lives.”
He went after Obama for eroding the nation’s constitutional liberties and not understanding the point of the federal government is to be protecting people’s liberties, “not using the jackboot of authoritarianism to come against the citizens.” So the Bundy standoff, Cruz said, “is the unfortunate and tragic culmination of the path that President Obama has set the federal government on.”

You’re welcome. One thing you will have to say about the Democrats is that they are relentless to the point that we end up saying, “Oh no, not again!”. Republicans just don’t seem to understand or have the urge to sink their teeth into something, hang on and continue to wrestle until they win.
Kids, Democrats and nagging spouses are better at this type of warfare than are Republican politicians. If they want something, they keep finding new ways to keep bringing it up, trying to wear you down and oftentimes they do.
We cannot let the Bundy issue get pushed off the front burner. It’s not about cows or grazing feeds but about the kind of America that I am going to leave to my grandchildren.
The GOP is the junior member of the Uniparty. It seeks political offices for the same reason as the rats, money and power.
No political party will save us.
Dividing power once again between DC and states is our only hope.
