Cruz Calls Chattanooga Shootings ‘An Act Of War’
Just what we want in a president: a guy who tosses around the word “war” at random. Ted Cruz said on his website:
Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez was there to carry out jihad, an act of radical Islamic terrorism. An act of war, in which those four brave Marines lost their lives, while at least two others were wounded.
In the wake of this vicious attack on our nation we need to rid ourselves of two dangerous delusions, first and foremost that a “lone gunman”–as President Obama described the shooter–is somehow isolated from the larger threat of radical Islamic terrorism.
In the modern world, no one acts in isolation. Through social media ISIS, al Qaida, and other groups are infiltrating our nation with impunity while our government will not even admit that radical Islamic terrorism is a problem.

I have a hunch that there are people in Charleston, SC who would argue that radical right wing terrorism is a more imminent threat than radical Islamic terrorism

Did you see how the Muslims were helping the people of S.C. with the church fires with donations? According to the right they are all Muslims are bad!

According to you the Right says this. Nice fiction.
reasonable July 24th, 2015 at 14:19
If so, they would be lying. There are probably many more people in that town who had relatives killed by Muslim terrorists than by Roofie.

I don’t think Raphael thought this one through.
1.Abdulazeez is from Kuwait.
2. I’m pretty sure we are already actively engaged with bombing ISIS.

I recall a post recently when a reader asked to the effect. “When is the United States going to realize that there are people coming from other countries intent on doing harm to our nation?”
It’s a good point.

That may be exactly what the citizens of Haiti and Guatemala thought when they saw US Marines landing in their country in the previous century.
reasonable July 24th, 2015 at 14:18
Ah yes. a bygone era of US imperialism that no one is alive from.

Who does he suggest we attack…Tennessee…??? The guy was an American citizen.
Was the Charleston attack an act of war…???? How about the nut in Maine…???

So the Charleston church massacre was what then?
tracey marie July 18th, 2015 at 12:45
an isolated incident by a confused white supremacist.

I blame the ”music he listened to.”

And video games – did he play video games, and watch violent movies?
tracey marie July 18th, 2015 at 12:45
white supremacist killings are what?

If attacks are judged by the religion of the attackers (from the Daily Beast)::
CHRISTIAN ATTACKS:
2/12/10 Amy Bishop 3 killed/ 3 injured
1/18/11 Jared Lee Loughner 6 killed, 11 injured
10/12/11 Soctt Dekrassi 8 killed / 1 injured
7/2012 James Holmes 12 killed/ 58 injured
8/5/12 Wade Michael Page 6 killed/ 3 injured
9/28/12 Andrew Engeldinger 6 killed / 12 injured
12/14/12 Adam Lanza 27 killed / 12 injured
9//16/13 Aaron Alex 13 killed, 3 injured
5/23/14 Elliot Rodger 7 killed/ 7 injured
6/18/15 Dylan Roof 9 dead
TOTAL: 97 killed / 110 injured

That’s small considering the many hundreds of good innocent Americans murdered by Muslim terrorists during this time period.

YWhen and where, you mean soldiers from bush’s war because he allowed 911 to happen?
AnthonyLook July 24th, 2015 at 17:15
There is nothing reasonable about you.

TRANSLATION- Just more example (more to come) of Cruz demonstrating his lack of presidential qualities in a glaring disturbing way; on his way to irrelevancy.
OldLefty July 18th, 2015 at 12:58
At war with WHO?
Kuwait?
tracey marie July 18th, 2015 at 14:18
them, you know the others…keeping it vague allows his dominsits to fill in the blank.

I don’t know why we need another “war ” .. We have a endless “war on terror ” now . As long as America is present in the ME – the attacks will never end.
Everything OBL predicted has come true. America is being chased and haunted by Jihad.
reasonable July 24th, 2015 at 14:06
The terrorists will engage endless war against us, whether or not we fight back or stop them.
Insisting that we let them keep attacking is “pro-war” in its own way.
tracey marie July 24th, 2015 at 14:33
what endless war have they waged? we are endlessly attacking the M.E.
GOP - Party of Neanderthals July 24th, 2015 at 15:10
As Busch Lite has proven — you can’t fight or win a terrorist “war” against an ideology ; Vietnam , Iran / Afghan = all lost causes. Since we stuck our nose in their business they will continue with enticing more lone shooters. ME’s only war tactics is guerrilla war – they have been experts at it for 2000 years. Thugs with gun is what ME has turned into. It will rage for decades.

I sleep well at night knowing that Ted Cruz will NEVER be President.
Warman1138 July 18th, 2015 at 14:51
Every time Cruz speaks in public, he commits an act of war against intelligence.
ExPFCWintergreen July 18th, 2015 at 17:36
So Cruz agrees that Dylann Root is a representative of the modern American Christofascist Right. Because “no one acts in isolation.”
whatthe46 July 18th, 2015 at 18:01
that’s something that goes completely over their heads. they said shit on a daily bases without a single thought as to what they are actually saying can go both ways.

GOP - Party of Neanderthals July 18th, 2015 at 20:43
The destruction Busch has rained upon the ME and the civil war left behind will simmer for decades. His war of terror has come to America. Lone shooters seeking revenge will hunt military grunts at every opportunity. The US military can no longer attack a sovereign country and leave it in ruins without expecting retaliation.
GOP - Party of Neanderthals July 18th, 2015 at 20:50
We need a war on the people he got the guns from : ” NRA sponsors domestic terrorism by selling GUNS to terrorist. “

go join your brother Ted
we will handle this…

As the anointed King of Christian Dominionism, Ted Cruz would like nothing better than to instigate a ‘Holy War’ of Christendom against Islam. Cruz is no different than the Islamic extremists who advocate global Jihad against the ‘infidels’.
