Ted Cruz: Obama will ‘start quartering soldiers in people’s homes soon’

[highplainsdem]

Source: The Raw Story

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Friday said that President Barack Obama was trying to violate all of the Bill of Rights and would “start quartering soldiers in people’s homes soon.”

Speaking to the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., Cruz told the audience that the country was facing “extraordinary times.”

“You look at our Constitution, you look at our Bill of Rights, this is an administration that seems bound and determined to violate every single one of our Bill or Rights,” he explained.

“I don’t know that they’ve yet violated the Third Amendment, but I expect them to start quartering soldiers in people’s homes soon,” the Texas Republican said.

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

24. You beat me to it... nt

[nolabear]

16. *snort!* HellOOOO Sailor!

[fitman]

45. My wife and I are total slobs with many cats and dogs

They would run out of our house...use it for target practice more likely lol

[CherokeeDem]

55. Ummm....

I'll take a hot Air Force pilot!!

[redstatebluegirl]

4. I will take in a soldier so long as they don't make me give a Congressman a place to stay.

They can stay in the barn!

[Myrina]

33. ^^ For the win ^^

[dickthegrouch]

46. Congress critters can't vote if they can't get out of the paper bag I'd house them in

[CarrieLynne]

5. Support the troops!! I got two in my house...how many he got?

[SunSeeker]

47. LOL nt

[M.G.]

8. Much like Rush Limbaugh...

Much like Rush Limbaugh, this guy's soon going to become a Democratic Party asset.

We should actually hope his star rises further.

[Xipe Totec]

9. The amazing thing is that he can count past two, all the way to three. nt

[LiberalArkie]

10. I will take some that are good in construction, I need some help around the house.

[graywarrior]

11. Are we sure he didn't mean skinning?

He's crazy, so he could have meant anything.

[True_Blue]

12. How did this kook ever get elected?!

This is why universal education is sorely needed.

[bluesbassman]

13. What's truly scary is not that one man spews forth this drivel...

it's that thousands of our fellow citizens actually listen to it and believe it. Dumbfounding.

[calimary]

64. Yeah, I know what you mean, bluesbassman. That's what bothers me more than just him.

That there are way more than two or three people who think he's the closest thing to the Second Coming. But then again, they're a lot of the same people who fell for such "bright lights" as dubya, rick perry, tom delay, and louie gohmert. Willfully ignorant, and damn proud of it, too.

[VWolf]

14. Right. Where was he

when Shrubbie/Dick were shredding our constitution/BOR ???

[Jamastiene]

15. That guy is batshit. n/t

[tandot]

18. I wouldn't let Obama quarter soldiers in my home

...who'd clean up the whole mess?

I am still trying to get rid of the blood stains left when he quartered all those sick people who got sent to our home by the "death panels"

[Southside]

19. Obama the tyrant

Hope that works out for ya ...You can always go back to Community Activist Obama if this one fails.

[Ellipsis]

20. I think it's time we revisited Dr Seuss and the rest of the ramblings from the 21 hour diatribe

[KevTucky]

21. Idiot

That crazy canuck. Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Grandpa Munster?

[woodsprite]

34. Nah, PeeWee Herman.

Does that mean we get to rename the House "PeeWee's Playhouse"?

[Myrina]

35. Nah, he looks like the reincarnation of the original Batshit ... Joe McCarthy.

The resemblance is striking, actually.



Welcome to DU!!

[Bosso 63]

78. You nailed it, he is !

It's the eyes

[sammytko]

60. Yes!! The quivery lower lip and jaw

Mix of Joe McCarthy and Grandpa Munster.

[calimary]

62. Welcome to DU, KevTucky!

Glad you're here. He IS an idiot. And yeah, Grandpa Munster meets Joe McCarthy. Meets ronald reagan's fucking eyebrows and greased-back hair. He's a national disgrace. And he still thinks he's spot on and has the keys the the highway. I think he should firmly and permanently be SHOWN the highway. He needs to be sent back to Texas, where they're so cheap and short-sighted that they've had to start gravel-"paving" some of their roads.

[Renew Deal]

22. He should be the first to receive some homeless veterans

[olddad56]

23. Ted Cruz is a fearmongering fucking idiot.

[valerief]

25. Well, he's been right about everything else so far.

[amb123]

26. IBBL! IBBL! IBBL! IBBL! IBBL! IBBL! IBBL!

[caseymoz]

27. Because GOP shutdown closed the barracks, I guess.

Cruz is reaching a new level of stupid that not even Dubya, Palin or the entire 2012 Republican Presidential field hasn't covered. I have to admire it.

I wonder how much longer Republicans are going to pretend that there's nothing wrong with Conservative ideology as it produces idiot after idiot leader. I know they were bare-facing it with Dubya and Palin, claiming there was nothing wrong with them . . . how much longer can they keep it up.

[Cleita]

28. And the stupid just keeps coming. n/t

[cynzke]

29. Will they pay room and board cause

I could use the money!

[cynzke]

30. Actually,

Sounds more like a GOP budget measure. Close bases and billet soldiers with citizens.

[IrishAyes]

82. It is against the constitution, y'know.

[Plucketeer]

31. I just wish they'd assign a few to Cruz's house

With strict instructions to keep Cruz under house arrest. Wait! he's already CAUSED House arrest!

[indepat]

32. Moreover, does Senator Cruz look to this president making the sky fall our our heads?

Someone please send effin' Senator Cruz back to Canada if they will allow his entry.

[EC]

36. He just hasn't learned his lessons about lying

has he?

[Aristus]

37. Ladies!:

Okay, this pic is actually close to 20 years old...

[redwitch]

42. Hubba hubba!

[Aristus]

49. Thanks!

[santamargarita]

38. Just how stupid is this asshole?

[Zorro]

39. There is no lie too outrageous for him to speak

He is a total embarrassment to Texas, the Republican party, and the nation.

He's doing more than his share to kill future elections for his party's candidates.

[bucolic_frolic]

40. Delusional Narcissism

created by living inside the Distorted Conservative Mind Bubble

[TBF]

41. I hope they send me a few -

I may well need them for protection down here in Texas. These tea-partiers are crazy ...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

43. Obamacare's supposed to cover mental health issues

Looks like you're going to need it Rafael.

[jmowreader]

72. I'm pretty sure the $20,000/year policy he's on already does

District of Columbia Code 21-521 should apply to him:

An accredited officer or agent of the Department of Mental Health of the District of Columbia, or an officer authorized to make arrests in the District of Columbia, or a physician or qualified psychologist of the person in question, who has reason to believe that a person is mentally ill and, because of the illness, is likely to injure himself or others if he is not immediately detained may, without a warrant, take the person into custody.

[pothos]

44. dude has gone too crazy too soon

doesn't he know he has to wait until a few months into the republican presidential primary before he goes full on cray cray?

[Brigid]

73. But by then . . .

He'll be even better at it. At least there will be plenty of material for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

[msanthrope]

48. Excellent!!! I need some help around this barn. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

50. What's really frightening to me

is that he believes what he says

He has certainty about everything

Dangerous!

[treestar]

71. +1

He isn't smart enough to realize how stupid he is.

[sakabatou]

51. He's trying to out batshit insanity with Bachmann

[AAO]

65. I think he just tied her on that last one!

[Beacool]

52. Rafael is such an annoying little ferret.

Someone should smack down the arrogant jerk.

[Boomerproud]

61. He's being smacked down on a daily basis, but it doesn't seem to do any good.

He's passed saving.

[Beacool]

69. Yeah, some kids are hard to discipline.

He may need to be sent to Boys Town. Father Flanagan would straighten him out.

[regnaD kciN]

53. I don't think they'd be able to find enough space in my house…

…but they're welcome to pitch a tent on the front lawn.

[kestrel91316]

54. Awesome. I can put one up in my living room and let him sleep on the couch. But he's gonna have to

do my laundry and vacuuming and grocery shopping.

[bunnies]

56. Obama must have some crazy knife skills.

Who knew?

[freshwest]

57. Great! Nothing like a hard working youngster to help around the house. We'll have to take turns with

the sleeping arrangements, though. Only have the one bed and I won't buddy up in bed for my country or anything else. Bring it on, Obama! But if the soldier's a bagger, the deal's off. My place would be ground zero for WW3!

[Coyotl]

58. I've got five spare bedrooms

I'll take ten women please.

[Hubert Flottz]

59. He needs to be put in the rubber room very soon.

Lying POS!

[Javaman]

63. cruz has officially entered alex jones territory. nt

[spiderpig]

66. And I thought I'd heard it all

[DissidentVoice]

67. Cuckoo! Cuckoo! n/t

[SoapBox]

68. What the??? Shut the FUCK up Cruz!!!!!!!

Fucking jag off...go back to Canada.

[Maeve]

70. hey, if you count the National Guard, I've already done that!

son AND daughter-in-law

[workinclasszero]

74. Canadian Cruz is a MF'ing moronic teabag repig liar

What a fu***** joke that this slimeball is a US senator!

He and Bachmann make Nixon and Joe McCarthy look like fine upstanding citizens!

[blackspade]

75. This guy is fucking crazy.

This guy's whole teahadist ideology is all about violating the Constitution (well except for the 2nd).

[HooptieWagon]

76. And this is what passes for leadership in the GOP today.

Please proceed, Senator....and be sure to tell the Whigs we said hello.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

77. Suckers hang on his every word. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

79. And this guy graduated from Harvard Law School?

Can they rescind his law degree for having retroactively flunked Con Law?

[0rganism]

81. He might just be playing to the rubes

Cruz strikes me more as an opportunist than a true believer

[Myrina]

86. As long as the fear mongering brings in cash ...

Nutters like him & Palin will keep talking out of their asses.

[mysuzuki2]

83. That's just so 18th century!

[LiberalElite]

84. Any way this guy can be deported? nt

[TygrBright]

85. The cray-cray is STRONG with this one! n/t

[4bucksagallon]

87. My take on that statement is just another example of how much the Republicans hate veterans.

After all who wants cannon fodder cluttering up their homes. Ewwwwwwww. LOL!

[Jim Lane]

88. IF he was joking -- a big "if" -- he stole the joke from Keith Olbermann

During the Bush administration, Keith did a piece in which he went through the Bill of Rights, one by one, detailing how Bush had subverted each one -- with one exception. He concluded:

We can rest easy knowing that we will never, ever have to quarter soldiers in our homes as long as the third amendment still stands strong.

The president can just take care of that with a signing statement.
