Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told attendees at a Family Research Council pastors retreat that Democrats wanted to limit free speech through amending the Constitution.
“When you think it can’t get any worse, it does,” Cruz said at the FRC’s Watchmen on the Wall 2014 event in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. “This year, I’m sorry to tell you, the United States Senate is going to be voting on a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment.”
Calling these “perilous, perilous times,” Cruz said Senate Democrats have said they are ready to vote on the amendment, Senate Joint Resolution 19—“an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to contributions and expenditures intended to affect elections.” …

Sorry Ted, the bastards want to repeal the whole Bill of Rights. The problem is, 47% of the morons living in this country say it’s okay with them as long as the freebies and handouts keep coming.
That’s when the gravy train stops, though. Sold their freedom for a bowl of soup.
We really need to break the logjam both our main parties hold over America politics.
Sure there is a problem with the democrats, that people cannot live on handouts.
But also America cannot export our economy to China. Americans needs JOBS.
Bring back jobs to the USA. While we’re doing that, stop giving away a bunch of free handouts to people who don’t work, but bring back jobs at the same time.
Jobs.
No news in that.
What I can see in the near future is an amendment making it illegal to criticize Islam or homosexuality, like in Europe. It will say something like “From now on, when any American mentions one of those subjects, they will be legally required to follow it up with ‘not that there’s anything wrong with that’”.
Jobs from any source?
!
Unsure of your question. Sorry.
I think America freedom, is to be cherished. Above everything.
That said, I believe American jobs are very important.
America needs jobs. We are giving away the thing, that keeps our people, voting for our freedoms.
Sorry but I do not believe we are helping America, by sending jobs to China.
Bring back US jobs.
I’m so glad I voted for Ted. The sad thing is I voted early today in Montgomery County Texas and it’s become a joke around here because we have 2 or 3 TP here and they fight over Who is the real TP. I’m so glad I stay informed.
That has nothing to do with this thread.
And you refuse to clarify the means by which to achieve this off-topic economic revival, so I once again conclude you are not serious about it.
I completely disagree.
That said, it’s time to go to bed here. Just keep in mind we need (a whole huge bunch) of jobs right here in the USA.
We have been sending US jobs everywhere in the world but the US, for now at least four administrations.
America needs to bring back jobs.
Have a good one.
You completely disagree with what?
I disagree this is off topic.
America needs jobs.
Neither party is doing even one single thing, to help.
No, this thread is about Senate Joint Resolution 19.
Why do you refuse to talk about how to bring jobs back to the USA, when you do so? And do you ever talk about any other subject?
Only in part.
This is also about America.
America cannot succeed if Americans don’t have jobs. That is my big point.
I get fired up a bit about Cruz because he’s potentially a hugely influential politician in America.
I just want him to focus on what, is going very terribly wrong right now, and that is in large part that our country is losing the global lead.
We cannot keep importing everything from China.
So sure this is off topic. But it’s not.
I’m sorry I get fired up about this, but it is a very important topic which nobody is currently speaking about.
I gotta go.
Nice talking with you.
Which has nothing to do with Senate Joint Resolution 19.
