Beck Pleads Cruz Rally To Accept Even ‘Marxist Atheists’ Because ‘They Renew Us ‘
Breitbart ^

Posted on 01/24/2016 8:44:05 AM PST by springwater13

Beck's speech continued by urging Iowans to support someone like Cruz, who he argued would take risks to bring as many Marxist atheists—like Cruz's father was when he came in from Cuba- as possible into America from foreign lands on the off chance they might end up seeing the light and becoming conservative Christians.

"So when we look at immigration, let's remember that people-if they want to come here and want to be Americans—they renew us," Beck said.

"And you never know what somebody might do. There was a Marxist, a Marxist who didn't really realize how Marxist he was that moved into the United States. A guy who fought in a revolution for Marxist principles. He was a little nuts, a little crazy at the time-almost lost his life in fact in the struggle. Came over here, he was an atheist. Didn't believe in God. Now, who wants that guy here? Except that guy happens to be Rafael Cruz who fell in love with our principles, fell in love with our country, and raised a man who could be the next president of the United States."

Don’t know either. I even had a book which was pretty good, and signed for the Blaze, but it turned in to some really weird stories. Just can’t listen to him at all anymore. He’s as granny used to say,”teched.”

Thought we had enough Marxist atheists already. Course if you are a Bishop in an anti-Christ cult perhaps more atheists sounds like a great idea?

This country is so screwed. There was never a chance when so many supported Obama, and now so many support Trump. There is no hope and there is no change from what the ignorant gave us and will give us.

Well I think that ignorance is ignoring the electoral maps and making believe this is still 30-40 years ago. The (D)ummycrats do not need to screen their candidates because almost anyone they nominate walks in with well over 200 electoral votes in their pocket, as many as 250 if the candidate is merely considered sane.

Meanwhile there are those on our side that insist on nominating their preferred perfect candidate who walks in with at most 180 electoral votes, and has no shot in the remaining 12 swing states where they must win a majority.

So perhaps those Trump supporters, where apparently the TEA Party has landed, are not so ignorant after all, but ahead of the curve and ahead of you? That's worth considering IMHO. The people are bypassing conventional wisdom and the media and the establishment and are going for the win.

If you really want to gamble the entire executive branch ( Supreme Court Justices, countless federal judges, the Military, all cabinets, almost all civil servants ) for the sake of any perfect candidate ( and just who might that be anyway? ) but who loses in battleground states then perhaps you should be in a casino where losses from bad bets are confined to your bankroll and not anyone else's? Just sayin'.

Please note that contrary to the whining by Mark Levin and others, being practical with this one elective office is certainly not abandoning principles. That argument would only hold water if we did that for all those other offices at stake: Supreme Court, House, Senate, Governors, Mayors, Dog Catchers. No-one is doing that and if they did I would be right beside you in jumping down their throats. Unfortunately, while this may be a single man elected to a single office, the office is actually an entire branch of government. Candidate discretion is advised.

It didn't take long for SNL to get a nasty skit up and running with Tina Fey (Palin impersonator) and a Trump impersonator mocking her endorsment for Donald.

Now I'm waiting for SNL to do likewise with Beck and Cruz impersonators doing a nasty skit about Beck's endorsement for the appreciative Cruz.

But I'm not holding my breath...Trump is SNL's target, not Cruz...and Sarah has ALWAYS been savaged by the show.

It's funny because before all this shark jumping I was thinking that Ted Cruz might outwit his opponents by going on SNL and doing a skit as a Royal Canadian Mountie complete with lots of "Aboot" and "Ay" thrown in. Maybe get Rick Moranis and redo one of those old sketches. That would be out of the box thinking and could defuse the mess he is in, or at least preemptively neutralize further humor at his expense.

But now, no chance. Beck has placed this thing in the Twilight Zone. It will probably be featured on an X-Files episode ( which I m watching right now ).

Following Beck like I have between 2003 and mostly till 2014, I think he is for open boarders and maybe amnesty now. One justification is that he has some twisted love for illegals and sympathy for their plight. He changed after he started The Blaze TV.

Having followed him perhaps you know the answer to what I have been wondering.

I remember him on CNN's offshoot HLN. Then he magically appeared on Fox's FNC. I think it was Shemp, then Hume, then Beck, then O'BlowHard, then Hannity. He did some good work there between 2009 and 2010 with episodes about the Constitution, TEA Party, Communists, etc ( I liked the ones about the unsung black heroes of the early republic ). IIRC his ratings almost beat O'Reilly and was poised to become their big thing.

Anyway, I didn't get to watch everyday but suddenly he was appearing with O'Reilly, something I suspected as fishy, a way for the blowhard to undermine him. In parallel to this I noticed that Rush, Hannity and Levin were extremely indifferent or hostile to the guy. Very strange dynamic ( and now somehow they are all friends?! ).

The rest is history, he leaves Fox and no-one explains why, he starts a doomed to fail Internet TV thing which I never saw, and the Blaze which has some moderate success. Aside from his drinking, no-one has clearly described that thing with Fox. My GUESS is that Ailes and Murdoch pushed him out, but just like everything else there it stays under wraps.

Please fill in any blanks you might know and correct my memory as well! I'm just curious. Clearly he went cuckoo around 2011 for some reason, but I sure didn't see it coming in the two years prior.

You would think he had figured out that this election is not the right one for professing more open borders. Is there any way Cruz can tap out on Beck?

Probably the best he can do is try to get Beck under tight control and then limit this tour to just a couple more dates. What a miscalculation on Cruz’ part. It’s embarrassing how badly he screwed the pooch on this one.

How is this conservative? Marxists, atheists immigrants are the new conservatism?

And now it appears that Trump has turned against Cruz as well. So much for the Trump/Cruz dream ticket.

Trump could take Savage every public event he went, and no matter what Savage said, Trump would either agree or laugh.

That’s telling to consider, isn’t it? Cruz is your classic campaigner who is always about ‘controlling’ his image. So when someone like Beck comes along, a guy like Cruz is frozen — confused. How does he control his image?

Trump is ‘open book’ — free from all the inner suppression.

‘Beck is a Trump plant?’

‘Maybe Cruz is a Trump plant...hmmmm?’

But who is the egg plant?

Oh right — me.

LOL. This is exactly what Cruz needs in this critical primary — Beck making some loony statement like this that eats up the media time spent on Cruz that he would have liked to have focus on his message.

He went heavy on the Cloward-Priven early in Bobo time, which gave Ailes pause. Remember the tree with Bobo at the top?

I understand and respect your opinion, but there is no “sure bet” on who will win the general. I support Cruz. He’s not flashy, rich or loud. He has stood up on issues that matter to me, when no one else would. That is all I can base my opinion and one vote on.

Cruz can't use the hook on Beck because their both beholding to the same hedge fund big money donor.

Did you mean, .."they're both beholden..."?
