Cruz: Obama trying to 'tear us apart' with comments on Oregon shooting
The Hill ^ | October 02, 2015 | Bradford Richardson

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is criticizing President Obama for his comments about a mass shooting at a community college in Oregon that left 9 dead.

“Unfortunately that is the approach with President Obama on every issue, is that he seeks to tear us apart, he seeks to politicize it and it’s worth remembering he is ideological and he’s a radical,” Cruz said on "The Mark Levin Show," as first reported by Buzzfeed News.

“You know, as his former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel said, ‘you never let a good crisis go to waste,’ and that is sadly his approach.”

The GOP presidential hopeful said the president is using the shooting as a political ploy to take guns away from Americans.

“We ought to do everything we can, for example, to be prosecuting the felons and fugitives who are trying to illegally buy guns,” Cruz said. “The Obama administration doesn’t do that. Instead, they try to use these tragedies as an excuse to come after the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.

“It’s unconstitutional, it’s cynical, and it’s wrong,” he added.

A 26-year-old male stormed Umpqua Community College and opened fire on students on Thursday, killing 9 and injuring seven. The shooter was killed in a gunfight with police.

Hours after the shooting, the president expressed his frustration that Congress has failed to act on gun control in remarks at the White House.

Obama said the shooting is “something we should politicize” to enact more stringent gun laws.

“This is a political choice that we make, to allow this to happen every few months in America," he said. “We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction.”

Obama wants Christians DEAD.

His mini-me in Oregon was just a start.

He's probably sorry he can't invite the dead POS to the Hate House, just like Clock Boy...

I believe one died in Hawaii, and the second in a drunk driving accident in Kenya.

NO, the school is ANSWERABLE for denying their rights to self-protection and not providing an adequate alternative. The school should be sued into oblivion.

BREAKING: OBAMA ADDRESSES MARTIAL LAW TAKE OVER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u0X7KpKKus

“The politics has to change. And the people who are troubled by this have to be as intense, and as organized, and as adamant about this issue as folks on the other side who are absolutists and think that any gun safety measures are somehow an assault on freedom or Communistic. Or a plot by me to take over and stay in power forever or something....”

Remember that when Obama uses some emergency as an excuse to cancel elections and becomes world dictator.

HOORAY Cruz

10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician…

Exactly. Government sponsored, UNPROTECTED, "gun free" kill zones are great places to drive the agenda.

Who's in your zone?

Disengage or be prepared.

Excellent reading. Thanks for the link to that. I especially noted this point:
"In drawing all bills, resolutions, and reports, keep constantly in view that the limitations in the Constitution are ultimately to be explained away. Precedents and phrases may thus be shuffled in, without being adverted to by candid or weak people, of which good use may afterward be made."

I give you, ladies and gentlemen exhibit 1, the phrase "separation of church and state"! Exhibit 2 I present "a woman's right to privacy". There are many more examples but you get the gist.

“Obama wants Christians DEAD.
His mini-me in Oregon was just a start.’

Yes.....that is what this take-over by the Humanist, John Dewey, and the sodomites like John Maynard Keynes (to make man/boy “Love” respectable) has been ALL ABOUT. It has been going on for a hundred or more years——and they got control of the indoctrination centers (school/MSM) in the early 1900s to flip “Good and Evil” and normalize evil ideologies of Marxism-—where human beings can be used in vile, dehumanizing ways-—as a “Means to an End” (and it is “Good” and a “Natural Right” from GOD—no less LOL)

Got to end the Christian Worldview for totalitarianism. Got to end Individual Natural Rights from God to make the State into god-—and make majority “tyranny” (democracy) a Fact!

We are a Republic for a reason and Christian Ethics is why we flourished. To destroy this nation, they are trying to destroy the pillar of our culture.

Children are being indoctrinated and corrupted to make it impossible for a Christian Worldview. They are filled with lies and misinformation (Marxism) 24/7 and having satanic desires and emotions embedded like obama and mini-me had. They imbibed in satanic worldview of hate and division and divorce all their childhood.

That is what curricula teaches since the 60s——to group/hate and teach lies and misinformation and alienate, so children are so WARPED in understanding Reality. They are literally removed from interacting in the Natural Family and put in artificial dehumanizing systems of “group think” which is no thinking: Up is Down and Vice is Virtue and Boys are Girls.

Americans need to arm themselves. One student armed could have saved 8 of the nine murdered by shooting back. The government can not help anymore. To big and to slow.

Be prepared when working, studying or enjoying life in UNPROTECTED government sponsored “gun free” slaughter zones.

Who will protect us from our protectors? (R.I.P. Mark Scott) Who’s in your zone?

Obamanation lies and peoples die. From another article today concerning the shooting in Oregan by the liberal shooter Chris Harper Mercer

[The Federal Security Services (FSB) is reporting today that an American black-Islamist terror suspect, who yesterday committed an act of mass murder in the State of Oregon (United States), had been included on a list of 87,000 “known/suspected” Islamic terrorists that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) refused last month to accept from the Federation due to its not being “politically viable in the present atmosphere”.
According to this report, the black-Islamist terrorist who committed this act of terror, Chris Harper Mercer, had previously been indentified by electronic intelligence specialists within the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) as being an Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) adherent after he had attempted to gain passage to Syria via Turkey during the first week of September, 2015.
By the Obama regime refusing to accept this terror list from the Federation, this report continues, Mercer was able to accomplish his terror act when yesterday he killed 9 people and wounded 7 others at the Umpqua Community College prior to his being shot and killed by local US police forces.]
