For this particular post I'm going to turn my attention to politics and speak on something I find absolutely fascinating.
Rafael Edward Cruz.
Now some of you might be thinking "Who is that?" If you are then don't feel bad. There is a reason that name may not sound familiar to you. So what if I told you that the Tea Party supported a Hispanic who was not born in this country and who's father fought for Communist leader Fidel Castro? While you are digesting that, imagine that many within the Tea Party want him to actually run for President even though he was not born here and has dual citizenship in Canada. Sounds crazy right? Well, as many of us all know, no one does crazy quite like the Tea Party.
Enter Senator "Ted" Cruz(TX), also known as Rafael Edward Cruz.
Senator Ted Cruz is a Tea Party fan favorite. He is your classic Tea Bagger. He hates Obamacare and, like many Tea Partiers, demonizes Obama at every given turn. Like most freshman Tea baggers who were swept into office during the "shellacking" of 2010, Cruz is likes to rock the boat, stir the pot, but isn't very good at governing(at least in my humble opinion). But he says all the things Tea Baggers love and never misses an opportunity to attack the POTUS, much to their delight.
Now, I normally wouldn't care all that much and I haven't really said anything up to this point. But with some people actually talking about Cruz as a viable candidate for 2016 I've decided that the hypocrisy is just too much. I now feel almost compelled to call it out. So...that's just what I'm going to do.
How many times have you heard Barack Obama called a communist by a Tea Bagger? More times than you can count right? So if the Tea Party is so concerned about communism why would they endorse a man who's father fought on behalf of someone who could very much be considered the poster boy for communism(Fidel Castro)? How many times have you heard from Tea Baggers that Obama is not an American citizen because he wasn't born in this country? Yea I know. Me too. So why isn't the Tea Party questioning Cruz's citizenship? How many times have you heard from Tea Partiers that Obama is ineligible to be POTUS because he was "born in Kenya"? Well Cruz was born in Calgary Alberta, Canada. Clearly that is not America soil. So why would Tea Baggers even consider him for POTUS?
Where is the outrage?! Where is The Donald?! Where is Fox News?! The son of a communist has invaded the Senate and is trying to become POTUS! A man who wasn't even born in this country! Where are the "Go Back to Canada" signs?! Where are the "Commie go home" signs? I thought the Tea Party was for AMERICA?? What happened to that shit?
Now, in all seriousness, I don't really care where Sen. Cruz was born. I'm not really interested in the history of his father or his family. I don't support Sen. Cruz and I think his policies are archaic at best. But I don't have any issues about his birthplace or his family's past. I just wanted to point out how blatantly and unforgivably hypocritical the Tea Party is. I just wanted to point out just how easily sheep are misled. I wanted to point out how easily politics can corrupt one's thinking and influence people into believing pretty much anything. I just wanted to point out just how blind people truly can be.
So the next time a Tea Partier looks at you and speaks of socialism, communism, or questions Obama's legitimacy as POTUS, just look at them, smile and say three words:
Rafael Edward Cruz.
