President Obama Calls Out Ted Cruz for Muslim Surveillance Proposal

President Obama rebuked GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz's proposal to patrol U.S. Muslim neighborhoods as a part of a counter-terrorism strategy as "un-American" and "counterproductive."

"I just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance, which, by the way, the father of Sen. Cruz escaped, for America, the land of the free," President Obama said, invoking Cruz's Cuban heritage in criticizing Cruz's proposal today.

Speaking at a joint news conference with Argentine President Mauricio Macri, Obama said any approach that would “single out” or “target” Muslims for discrimination “is not only wrong and un-American, but it also would be counterproductive because it would reduce the strength, the antibodies that we have to reduce terrorism.”

“One of the great strengths of the U.S. and why we haven’t seen more attacks in the U.S. is we have an extraordinarily successful patriotic, integrated Muslim-American community. They do not feel isolated,” he said.

From a liberal's perspective, we cannot use the police to prevent murders. That would be "counterproductive". Liberals prefer the mayhem and chaos.

It is time to boot as many of them as we can and surveil the rest.

Weren't these same liberals decrying police for being too afraid to patrol the inner cities?

That they didn't have enough police presence in high crime areas?

No

[Subdermal]

Yes (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/21/us/in-high-crime-areas-still-too-few-police.html?_r=0).

And that's just one example.

[Polecat]

I think the KKK should monitor Muslim neighborhoods. They are democrats and would not do anything rash.

And here's Obama with examples of his own (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/10/obama-police-militarization_n_3566478.html).

Do you always have this much difficulty recognizing a political opinion? That, is why you fail.

Often liberals believe opinion is fact. They believe their opinions are facts and that the opinions of their opposition are lies.

Here's an idea , why not have everyone on camera 24/7. An idea first proposed by a guy named Orwell decades ago and the government has been striving to meet this goal ever since.
