Republican presidential candidate and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz compared President Obama to a "condescending schoolmarm" for his call on Sunday evening to reject discrimination against Muslims.
On the Mike Gallagher Show on Monday, Cruz said Obama's Oval Office address showed that the president was "so out of touch and so unprepared and unwilling to defend this nation it makes the next year extraordinary dangerous."
"We saw the president lecture the American people like some condescending schoolmarm about the need to avoid Islamophobia," said Cruz.
On Sunday evening, Obama said, "But just as it is the responsibility of Muslims around the world to root out misguided ideas that lead to radicalization, it is the responsibility of all Americans, of every faith, to reject discrimination. It is our responsibility to reject religious tests on who we admit into this country. It's our responsibility to reject proposals that Muslim Americans should somehow be treated differently. Because when we travel down that road, we lose. That kind of divisiveness, that betrayal of our values plays into the hands of groups like ISIL."
Cruz said the right response is to acknowledge radical Islamic terrorism and lay out an aggressive plan to defeat ISIS.
"What we need is a commander in chief who stands up and, number one, doesn't engage in politically correct double speak, doesn't refuse to say the world radical Islamic terrorism, as Obama, and Hillary, and all the Democrats do," Cruz said.
"But, number two, says we will defeat ISIS," he continued. "We are gonna carpet bomb them into oblivion. We are gonna arm the Kurds. We are gonna go and find them, and hunt them down, and kill them."
"That is the right response," said Cruz, adding that Democrats offer apologies and justifications for ISIS while going after the Second Amendment rights of U.S. citizens.
I imagine before the day is out, libs will complain about this “sexist” or “misogynist” speech.
Ted Cruz is making all-out war against Odumbo. Good for him! I hope he continues daily attacks to other rat politicians—it shows his strength.
Great, now I gotta photoshop a bonnet on Obama.
I have some respect for condescending schoolmarms. If you continued to misbehave, that ruler across your knuckles HURT.
The Current Occupant has no such form of commanding respect.
Yeah, he’ll be misunderstood. Almost like Ted was saying our Com. in Chief is effeminate. But, I know Ted wouldn’t say that.
Yes ... strength, and COURAGE!
“The Current Occupant has no such form of commanding respect.”
OR grounds to expect it.
This would mean rooting out Mohammed.
Almost like Ted was saying our Commander in Chief is effeminate.
But, I know Ted would not say that.
True. Our Commander-In-Grief is not butch enough to be effeminate.
"Courage."
The values espoused by Islam are antithetical to those of the free, open, western societies - so how can we lose ?
The problem is...He’s running against Hillary.
He has always snotted off like that. The college photos illustrate what a meat sack of hubris he is all the way back then.
Check out Google maps street view, 53 N Center St Redlands CA, shows the black SUV parked in front minus bullet holes.
He basically came on and said the attacks were our fault
I will discriminate against the evil quran and anyone who adheres to it.
I’m glad Dennis Miller’s with us...
