Ted Cruz’s frightening gun fanaticism: When a presidential contender encourages armed insurrection

Salon ^ | April 17, 2015 | Simon Maloy

The assholes at Salon are number one.

[TBP]

He’s defending the original intent of the amendment.

[joshua c]

Liberals do not fear tyranny. I wonder why?

[Ohioan]

More of the Left's deliberate parading of ignorance; deliberately pretending to not understand the readily understandable issues involved.

Fine. Let's take the fight to them; calmly reminding everyone of what those who created the Federal Government had to say about the issue; reminding all who will listen, also, that George Washington urged the Swiss system, which put military grade rifles into the hands of the teenaged boys; and reminding them of his clear understanding of the psychological value & public benefit of the move, because it illustrates, concretely, just how far from being somehow radical, is the Cruz position. (See Right & Duty To Keep & Ber Arms)

I wonder, if confronted whether Salon's writer could explain why Switzerland, for generations, had an incredibly low crime rate? The why is no great mystery to anyone who understands the psycholgical benefit of having a responsible citizenry.

[MrB]

Liberals always envision themselves holding the whip instead of working under its lash.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just the fact that he makes Lefties pee in their panties is reason enough to vote for him.

[dp0622]

I remember that disgusting slob Harvey Weinstein, who HATES guns, when asked what he would do if the holocaust happened again, he said “I’d get a gun”. Like they are so easy to get once a nationalist army takes over. Thank goodness Israelis are much smarter than that.

[right way right]

Good publicity.
Hopefully Cruz gets called into some shows in the media to do some splainin, this is his strength.

[SuperLuminal]

Barry Goldwater re dux?

[Ohioan]

The cartoon is cute; but I seriously doubt that John & Lindsey would be very welcome in 1775 Virginia. Their combined IQ might approach that of one of the members of the House; but their intellectual integrity would at least be frowned upon.

[American Constitutionalist]

OK, found a source from Huffington Post.

A California Senate canadate say Gays are Gods and calls for their protection with armed LGBT squads...

[faithhopecharity]

if you can afford it, now is a great time to

help friends and relatives acquire firearms of their own!

(get/give them guns and some good safety training of course...Let’s give “Salon” a genuine heart attack!)

[MrB]

It does make you wonder - are they really that stupid to not understand, or are they being deliberately obtuse?

[GraceG]

Should we find ourselves disarmed as a country and in the same line to be sent to the ovens, I am pushing this jackass to the head of the line...

[MrB]

They’ll demand some ‘splainin,
and Cruz will do some skoolin’.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Republicans and conservatives – Ted Cruz included – tend to throw around terms like “tyranny” sort of haphazardly

Nothing haphazard about the truth.

Rather than fight for liberty, Salon and its ilk would rather LICK the boot of tyranny on its neck.

[Blood of Tyrants]

He is in good company. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin did, too.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The more the lamestream media rants about Cruz the more I like him.

He's a hack. He's a photocopier with a left-leaning font and a team to switch toner cartridges.
