| Apparently, the "Washington Post" and "New York Times" don´t like the idea of a non-white U.S. Senator acting all uppity. It´s fine for the lily-white Elizabeth Warren to immediately come out guns blazing, but over the past couple of days both news outlets ripped into in Texas Senator Ted Cruz for not knowing his place. As we all know, the base of the Democratic Party is made up of union workers, who see Hispanics as a threat to their jobs, and rich, white, coastal liberals whose only contact with the Latino community is on grass-mowing day. And so

Time to turn it around. Everybody criticizing Cruz is a racist. Please say it, and keep repeating it over and over. We need to create impression right or wrong that Democrats hate Latinos. Why we do not exploit 300 people killrd in operation fast and furiuous as a racial black Latino issue? Why" "genius" Carl Rowe did not run an add like this I will never understand. If you want to win you have to play politics which is a nasty game. Nice guys always loose.

"lose", not "loose"...
Democrats, "progeessives" (regressives), leftists, etc. have ALWAYS been the real racists. They have only pretended to care about people of color while projecting their racist views on others. They have promoted a few key minorities and "community leaders" to prestigious positions in order to keep their people in-line. But their goal is to keep the people generally in poverty and as controllable dependents. They (at least the ones in positions of power) actually hate people of color. The establishment, country club Republicans who don´t like Cruz just don´t want anyone shaking up the status quo where they can gain power and wealth through their office. They don´t want to lose a good thing even if it is hurting our country and the rest of us.

To Democrats, it really doesn´t matter if you´re Hispanic, black, white, Asian, male, female, gay or transgendered. If you´re not a socialist, Democrats will hate you - no matter what your race, gender, religion or ethnicity is.

Never back down Sen. Cruz. The nation is desperately looking for leaders. Honorable, principled men and women will save this country from the ruling class. So many people go to Washington and get sucked in by the establishment. Don´t let that happen. You understand the problems we are facing and have real solutions. Don´t get bogged down by the career politicians in your own party. They are the problem. Forge a new path for yourself and fellow conservatives and a grateful nation will support you. God bless you.

Here´s the difference between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, both ´hispanic´ senators:
Marco Rubio is Cuban. From Florida (and where is Obama this weekend? Gathering Rubio intel perhaps?) And, he is cute and cuddly, and has a self-deprecating sense of humor. Plus, he threw in with a few Establishment RINO senators on immigration.
Ted Cruz is Latino. (Learn the difference.) He´s from Texas. Lots of independent minds there in Texas. And they have a huge border problem, as do all southwestern and neighboring states. He´s handsome, not in a cuddly way, but in a rugged, manly-man way. He´s soft-spoken normally, but intense and - dare I say it? - PRINCPLED. He knows his positions because they come to him from within.
Now Rubio is principled too, but in my personal humble opinion, Cruz would be a better front man on the immigration issue.... he has lived it. Rubio´s family´s immigration was a completely different situation.
I understand, but have no verified proof, that Latinos don´t really see Cubans as ´like them´. Compare it to dark-skinned blacks vs. light-skinned blacks, perhaps, but there´s a certain resentment. Latinos in the southwest just want an open border, and there are extremists who want Atzlan back.
Watch for these 2, and other librags, to pit Cruz against Rubio directly. (They think they ´have´ Rubio and that he´s controllable.)

Sounds like the Times and Post want to go along with the idea that freshmen Senators and Representatives are just supposed to go along to get along once they arrive in DC. That they have to be around for a few years to "learn how we do things here". Well, there might just be a few that DON´T go along with that idea. They believe that they were elected to represent their districts and states and are bound to do so. These are they type of people we, as a nation, need a lot more of. And get rid of the dead wood at the same time.

#3 Totally agree.
The Republicans need to make lemonade and turn the racist card back on the Dems and go after the media bums right now.
First of all. Cruz is not non-white. The majority of Cubans are direct descendants from Spain. But, let them call Cruz non-white all day long as they dig themselves deeper into their own racist hole. This is discrimination in it´s highest form. Until we stand up to the media and go after every one of their false accusations, they will continue this game. We need to start right now with a campaign to counter these attacks. It will take a concerted effort between now and 2014 and 2016 to get our message across.

Speaking of the hideous actions of the damnocrats, one of the readings at mass this morning was about Satan tempting Jesus with power and glory over all the kingdoms of the earth. My first thought on reading the passage was the 0bama was also tempted this way and it took him less than a nano second to grab on to the devil´s agenda. Then the priest spoke about the passage in his homily and specifically referred to politicians and asked why it´s so hard to get good people to run for public office. He didn´t mention any names but I know him and I´m sure that he was referring to the likes of zippy, Pelousy, Dingey Harry and the MSM.

Ted...read the Hate Speech language, then kick their rears!
"Hate speech is a communication that carries no meaning other than the expression of hatred for some group, especially in circumstances in which the communication is likely to provoke violence. It is an incitement to hatred primarily against a group of persons defined in terms of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and the like. Hate speech can be any form of expression regarded as offensive to racial, ethnic and religious groups and other discrete minorities or to women."
Make no mistake about it, this is Hate Speech and is definitely Racial!

A three-minute video of Sarah Merkle’s testimony about Maryland’s new gun legislation has drawn more than 2 million views on YouTube, won her praise from gun rights advocates across the country and even scored her an interview on national television last week. But the 15-year-old from Baltimore said she cares more about her message. “The biggest part of this is that the pro-gun, Second Amendment argument is getting publicity,” she said. “I like that it actually got out there, and not just because it’s me, but because it’s the argument.”

Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, said as many as 13 senators now publicly support a filibuster on the motion to proceed on pending gun legislation, which effectively would block debate on the bill. “When you’re in a snake pit, you kill a snake any time and chance that you get,”

Two influential Republicans commended the White House on separate news talk shows Sunday for striking an effective balance by allowing senior Cabinet members to issue cautionary remarks in response to North Korea, while also strategically adjusting the U.S. military posture in the region. “This administration’s acted responsibly,” said Sen.

The world’s greatest deliberative body has started to look a lot like its legislative little brother over the past few years. The Senate was once regarded as the home of the great political orators of the time — not to mention the body where true dealmaking actually took place. Its members prided themselves on their cool approach to legislating, in contrast with the more brawling nature of the House. Senators, generally, liked one another — no matter their party — and weren’t afraid to show it, either personally or politically. No longer. The Senate has undergone a marked transformation

Prospects for a bipartisan deal to expand federal background checks for gun purchases are improving with the emergence of fresh Republican support, according to top Senate aides. The possibility that after weeks of stalled negotiations senators might be on the cusp of a breakthrough comes as President Obama and his top surrogates will begin on Monday their most aggressive push yet to rally Americans around his gun-control agenda. Even though polls show that a universal background-check system is supported by nine in 10 Americans, the president has been unable to translate popular support

On the matter of the president and Kamala Harris, I could go either way. I could write a column — call it Classic Feminist High Dudgeon — lamenting the president’s comments about the California attorney general’s good looks. This column would discuss the continuing, albeit more subtle, discrimination against women in the workplace. It would explain how, even if unintentionally, Obama’s reference to Harris’s attractiveness is demeaning — that it serves, in the apologetic words of White House press secretary Jay Carney, “to diminish the attorney general’s professional accomplishments and her capabilities.” It would, inevitably, invoke the president’s daughters

But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal.
