God I hope Ted Cruz Dream Comes True

Ted Cruz: 'We Need 100 More Like Jesse Helms' In The SenateSen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday that the country would be better off if the Senate was full of people like Jesse Helms, the late senator who was ardently opposed to all kinds of civil rights measures and even tried to block the Senate from approving a federal holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. During remarks at a Heritage Foundation event dubbed the "Jesse Helms Lecture Series," Cruz told a story of Helms receiving a $5,000 political donation from actor John Wayne, who apparently later told Helms he liked him because "you're that guy saying all those crazy things" and that there needed to be 100 more of him.


"It's every bit as true now as it was then," Cruz said. "We need 100 more like Jesse Helms in the U.S. Senate."


Helms, the conservative North Carolina Republican who served in the Senate for 30 years, was known for his efforts to stop progressive polices relating to gay rights, abortion and race. He voted against the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which he referred to as "the single most dangerous piece of legislation ever introduced in the Congress." When the Senate acted in 1983 to create a federal holiday honoring King, Helms staged a 16-day filibuster to try to block it. He ultimately caved in exchange for action on a tobacco bill.


In 1988, Helms opposed the Kennedy-Hatch AIDS bill, stating that there "is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy."


Helms passed away in 2008.


Cruz said the first political donation he ever made was to Helms -- $10 -- and praised the late senator for his outspokenness. If Helms were alive, Cruz said, he would be taking a more aggressive stance against "radical Islamist terrorism" than President Barack Obama has been taking.


"If Jesse Helms were still with us, he would not shy away from this fight," Cruz said.

Using the word 'united' in the same breath as Cruz and Helms takes the cake for hypocrisy in speech and thought.

"But you say you are conservative - eminently conservative - while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort. What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried? We stick to, contend for, the identical old policy on the point in controversy which was adopted by "our fathers who framed the Government under which we live;" while you with one accord reject, and scout, and spit upon that old policy, and insist upon substituting something new. True, you disagree among yourselves as to what that substitute shall be. You are divided on new propositions and plans, but you are unanimous in rejecting and denouncing the old policy of the fathers. Some of you are for reviving the foreign slave trade; some for a Congressional Slave-Code for the Territories; some for Congress forbidding the Territories to prohibit Slavery within their limits; some for maintaining Slavery in the Territories through the judiciary; some for the "gur-reat pur-rinciple" that "if one man would enslave another, no third man should object," fantastically called "Popular Sovereignty;" but never a man among you is in favor of federal prohibition of slavery in federal territories, according to the practice of "our fathers who framed the Government under which we live." Not one of all your various plans can show a precedent or an advocate in the century within which our Government originated. Consider, then, whether your claim of conservatism for yourselves, and your charge or destructiveness against us, are based on the most clear and stable foundations."

Lord yes, we wouldn't want to elect someone who has noticed that Obama's big government has just accelerated the pace of the rich getting richer and suggest that maybe it is time to try something other than the usual progressive failure.

I mean, come on. We can't traumatize millions of liberals who are convinced that, if only, we make government bigger and more costly all those bad things that have happened since we started making government bigger and more costly will miraculously be cured.

Look up "magical thinking" common.

:grin:

You mean like Obama who said he would be uniter and has created the biggest divide this country has ever seen

[ptif219]

Be careful you may find that the country turns back to conservatism

[ptif219]

No that would be democrats like Byrd was

[ptif219]

Do you have a problem with tax-cuts for the Rich?

How is it Obama complained about them yet continued them

[nic34]

How is it Obama complained about them yet continued them

Because the republicans would not play nice with the other boys and girls.

[jillian]

How is it Obama complained about them yet continued them

because when the righties wouldn't lift the debt ceiling and got our credit rating lowered, he tried to avoid them doing further damage to our economy.

i think he was wrong for trying to work with people who put party before country.

[ptif219]

You mean Obama will not play. Just shows Obama can not be trusted for what he says.

[Cigar]

If I were you ... I would not Vote for him in the next Election. :wink:

More lies. The credit rating is all on Obama policies. Obama has not tried to work with GOP. Obama's idea of working with GOP is the GOP giving Obama what he wants

[ptif219]

If I were you ... I would not Vote for him in the next Election. :wink:

You should vote for him again the next election

[Cigar]

You should vote for him again the next election

What ... Party Ticket, sure. :laugh:

[ptif219]

What ... Party Ticket, sure. :laugh:

For Obama

[Cigar]

For Obama

It would be too embarrassing for Republicans.

Let's see how you do against Hilliary.

Lets see if she can get by the failures in Bengahzi

[BB-35]

Could it be that Cruz was speaking of Helms' devotion to the job and standing up for what he believed?


Nahhhhhhhhhhh,couldn't be that.

No problem there; to get all Republicans to formulate policy that would destroy all of those American wrecking issues of the left would be a great boon to our nation.
