FULL TITLE: Neil Bush: Cruz Isn't Singling Out Muslims, "He's Also Talking About Extremists In The Christian Faith"

Neil Bush appeared on CNN Wednesday morning following Jeb Bush's endorsement of presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz. Neil is the brother of Jeb and former President George W. Bush. He is also part of Cruz's finance team.

Bush was asked to respond to Cruz's plan to surveil Muslim Americans after the Brussels attacks. "We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized," Cruz said Tuesday.

Bush said Cruz is not racially profiling and told CNN they should get the candidate on to clarify his remarks. However, Bush said he would "presume [Cruz] is also talking about extremists in the Christian faith."

So now we know the Bush family hates Christians.

I mean, we always knew it, now we have confirmation out of their own mouths.

Trump is driving all kinds of roaches out of the woodwork.

Bush said he would "presume [Cruz] is also talking about extremists in the Christian faith."

If I were Cruz, I would not want this dunderhead supporting me. Islam resurgent is the problem facing all of the civilized world, not "extremists in the Christian faith."

Is Trump the only one brave enough to speak the truth about what is the most pressing issue of our lives?

So, Cruz is going after Christians now?
Extremist Christians by what definition?
The Amish? They are very extreme.
Now it will be the Christian religious police.
Bad mistake.

“If I were Cruz, I would not want this dunderhead supporting me.”
yeah, that would have been my reaction a few months ago.
Just like Belgium, you can’t sympathize when the door is open and the enemy is invited in.

Cruz is GOPe. Always has been. It sure did not take long to expose this shrill Harvard Law schooled grad, junior senator. Some people have short term memory loss.

My take?
Cruz is a place-holder.
He’s going to throw his delegates to Jeb! at the open convention, and Cruz is going to be VP.
Cruz cannot appear to be counter to Jeb! policies.
He’s already walking back deportation and keeping illegals out of the country.

Hence the lesser Bush jumping in to ‘clarify’.

These Bush people and their legalese and weaselly language are the reasons nobody made it out of the gate in the primaries.

Cruz has lots of people that are completely comfortable speaking for him (PACs, Bushes, Gopers, Beck).

Cruz has no ability, or desire, to tell them to stop when they go off the deep end.

So either Cruz is too scared to tell them to stop, or he agrees with them.

From Trevor Loudon’s New Zeal:
Submitted by renee nal on February 11, 2016

WATCH: Debunking anti-Cruz myths (video)

http://www.trevorloudon.com/2016/02/watch-debunking-anti-cruz-myths-video/

“But Ted Cruz is a globalist?

As seasoned Republican political player Dave Nalle wrote at the time in an article called “Anatomy of a Smear: Heidi Cruz and the ‘North American Union’:”

“You see, it turns out that according to a whisper campaign coming from Dewhurst or Addison or perhaps direct from the John Birch Society, Ted Cruz’ wife is one of the architects of the dreaded ‘North American Union.’ The JBS is the most likely original source in a now-deleted article in the online version of their New American magazine called ‘Faux Neo-Conservatives Defend North American Union.’”

[…]

Heidi Cruz’ role in all of this was as one of a large panel of readers and her sole identifiable contribution to the project is a one-paragraph response in the final appendix in which she says:

‘We must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us — truly the measure of our success. As such, investment funds and financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants.’

What does Heidi write for the North American Union report?

Let’s repeat:

“We must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the PRIVATE SECTOR. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses…” (emphasis added)

Another instance that this author found of Ted Cruz & “globalist” goes back in 2012 when Ted Cruz was running for Senator. But Ted Cruz was actually criticizing “Agenda 21” as a “globalist plan that tries to subvert the U.S. Constitution and the liberties we all cherish as Americans.”

At the time, the George Soros-funded ThinkProgress slammed Cruz for pushing a “truly ridiculous conspiracy theory,” and a Tea Party star was born.

On the “globalist” charge, Nalle said it best in 2012:

“It’s all a patchwork of irrational fear and ignorant assumptions with no substance to it whatever…”

Neil Bush is a crook and Cruz is using his own mock Christianity as a wolf uses a sheep skin to cover his true identity. People need to wake up and smell the coffee.

You have to consider the source. Neil Bush is probably appalled by the idea of identifying an enemy nation living in our midst, especially one with which his family is so friendly.

And, anyways, if there are any ‘extremist Christians’ who waging violent war against the rest of world, maybe they need a little attention, too. But most ‘extremist Christians’ I know, help the poor, minister to prisoners, etc.
