You Know, Because They’re White and Everything
Texas Tea Party member Christina Katok was all over Barack Obama in 2008 because he was not a natural born citizen. She believed he was born in Kenya and there ineligible for the job of President.
And here is Ms. Katok today:
Fast forward six years and another freshman U.S. senator, Canadian-born Tea Party firebrand Ted Cruz of Texas, is being mentioned as a potential 2016 presidential candidate. But Katok, who would vote for Cruz in a heartbeat, doesn’t have any concerns about his eligibility.
“As far as I’m concerned, Canada is not really foreign soil,” she said. Katok said she was more disturbed by Obama’s “strong ties to Kenya,” the African country where his father was born.
You know, because there’s white people there.
Then there’s Sue Tiemann who freely admits that she thought Barack Obama would not be eligible to be President unless he was born in this county thinks Ted Cruz is eligible.
Tiemann, who said she has no doubt that Cruz is eligible to be president, acknowledged that party affiliation might have something to do with her evaluation of the circumstances.
“You are always going to have that issue between Republicans and Democrats, [who] always look at it with a different way, a different eye,” she said.
No, no, Honey. It’s not about a different eye. That’s why Lady Justice is blind. If it’s wrong for Barack Obama, it’s wrong for Ted Cruz. Lady Justice doesn’t see color. The law is the law.
Except, of course, if you’re white and very greedy.
Thanks to Irene for the heads up.

“You are always going to have that issue between Republicans and Democrats, [who] always look at it with a different way, a different eye,” she said.”””
Really. With “a different way” Must have gone to school down there too. I guess the black guy is just wrong and Raphael Steven Cruz is right.
Wonderful. Put him in the clown car with the rest of them.
2These are very icky people. I feel dirty just reading about them.
3Obama is guilty of PWB-Presidenting While Black
4These racists just can’t stand the fact that there’s a black man in the White House and he’s not the butler.
Aw, yes, ol’ Rafael Cruz, the Cuban-Canadian who, as a Canuck by birth, is eligible to run for a seat on the Canadian Parliament.

Hey, did anyone else notice that someone somewhere, I forget now who, referred to the Texas AG as “Greg A-butt”?
Works for me.
5Hey daChipster, I worked my way through all the acronyms, after using “Urban Dictionary” for the first one. But I got stuck on the ADB part. Is there any way you could clarify that in such a way so as not to offend Mama? My curiosity is aroused!
Thanks.
6Hi, Elsie!
A stands on its own, though a compound word.
DB is probably just D, as it is also a compound word.
7I’m with Elsie. However, my guess is the D is a variant on soil with the B indicating an article used to carry said soil. Am I close?
8Wonder what it says about me that I *didn’t* need any translation, or more than just a few seconds, to get the whole string, Chipster? *snicker/schnort*
9It tells me you’re the kind of girl I want to share a bottle of tequila with, Kay!
10You are always going to have that issue between Republicans and Democrats, [who] always look at it with a different way, a different eye
I have read this several times. Is she really saying the rules are applicable only if a Dem?
11“As far as I’m concerned, Canada is not really foreign soil”. Uh, when did we buy Canada?
Let’s see. Hawaii is our 50th state. (Learned that in grade school!)
Yet Canada is “not really foreign soil”. Lady, it’s a separate country! (Learned that in grade school, too.)
Listen up, Reps. There is no easy way to cut this pie. You clowns elect people who are either just plain dumb or the biggest liars or both.
Admit it! Ya’ do!!
12Canada isn’t really “foreign soil” for the Tea Party? Let’s see – they’ve got gun control, universal health care, respect for human rights… sure sounds foreign to the Tea Party’s values to me.
13The Redumblikkkan Party honchos must get a huge volume discount on surgical lobotomies somewhere. I’m sure it is a prerequisite for getting their sheeple’s “registered” R status/memberships (after the pledges and donations of course).
Hmmm, what’s Dr. Ron Paul been up to lately?
14Yegawds! These women need to adjust their meds!
Yup, I admit it. I come from a Canadian family and spent a chunk of my youth in that lovely country. It really is another country, and you Queens of Denial can just stuff it!
15If Canada is “not really foreign soil,” encourage this ditz to head up that way and then try to get back into the U.S. without a passport.
16Sigh. I think she would also have to have a passport to get INTO Canada. It is definitely a foreign country, even though I lived there a long time ago for 15 months. Imagine celebrating Thanksgiving in October and being expected to sing GOD SAVE THE QUEEN at all public events. And the money looks like Monopoly money. It’s pretty, though and sometimes it’s worth more than U.S. money. When I first moved there, I remember listening to Canadians arguing about whether or not they should allow Canada to become part of the USA. I’d never known it was an issue.
17BLACK….there, I fixed it for her!
18I had the same problem with the last three letters but, searching the Urban Dictionary, did find this definition of ADB. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=adb
19Canada isn’t foreign? The overwhelming majority of Canadians (not Cruz, of course) don’t want to be part of the U.S. That’s why they stay in Canada.
20If you watch the video, at 2:20 Cruz has his hand over his heart but partially under his jacket. Could it be because he was crossing his fingers? Just saying.
21That “different eye” she’s talking about is the one with the beam in it. Or to move from the Biblical to fairy tales, that “different eye” is different because it has a piece of the Snow Queen’s looking glass in it.
And yes, Cheryl, the rules of the Bigoted Racist Gene only kick into action when applied to Dems.
22Skweeeee!!! daChipster, yer ON, man! (Only make mine a beer; I don’t do tequila.) If you’re ever in New Mexico, you better let me know. Hey, do you like Jazz Festivals? We got a *great* Jazz Festival! It’s in October. C’mon down! 🙂
23Elsie, in re. your comment on Greg A-Butt:
Back in the day, when I worked for a different Attorney General of Texas, I always called it “The Morale-less Administration,” because it was such an employee un-friendly administration… particularly evident after having worked for Maddox, who was a very fun boss. Later I learned that I could just as well have been calling it “The Moral-less Administration.”
Morales was, I believe, the first Repugnican Attorney General for the State of Texas. It’s gone down-hill ever since then. I am so glad to be gone. I never worked for Greg A-Butt, thank God, but I have heard that it is tricky to try to be a lawyer following the law in an administration that despises regulation, particularly with a guv’ner who has stacked the boards of regulatory agencies with obstructionist Repugnicans.
24A few years back, my husband and I were going on an Alaskan cruise. To save some money, we flew into Seattle and would take a bus to Vancouver to depart on our ship. Well, the line for immigration to cross into Canada was about a two-hour wait in traffic. Then everyone had to take their luggage off the bus and drag it thru the checkpoint line. They were really clear that you had to take your own suitcases.
Well, there was a little old lady struggling with her numerous bags and when she was called up, my DH instinctively went to help her. Big mistake! Within a minute he was surrounded by three agents and we had “extra special” questioning before we could get back on the bus! So yes, it is foreign soil! 🙂
P.S. It was an eventful bus trip as we also saw a butt naked guy walking through the Wal Mart parking lot near Vancouver.
25Fall back position: Canada’s whiter than Hawaii!
26Chipster… LMFAO…. took me a minute or two, and a martini, but I’m THERE and so are YOU. Too funny.
27DEPORT TED CRUZ!
There, somebody had to say it.
28There are going to be some righteously pissed-off Canadians in response to that crack. I’ve spent some very pleasant times in Canada, or hanging out with Canadian friends in Seattle, and the only time I can recall a Canadian getting really annoyed was when somebody said something that hinted of “Canada is just like the USA” or “Canada is *part* of the USA or as close as makes no never-mind.”
29What “strong ties to Kenya” is she referring to? PBO only met his father once or twice, and did not travel to Kenya until he was in his 20s.
30These two women are PROUD — PROUD I tell you — of being this stupid, and by gawd, they wouldn’t have it any other way. And I’m okay with that — really I am. I just wish they would shut up and stop voting.
31Canada not a foreign country? She should try taking a parakeet on a vacation there sometime.
It’s definitely a foreign country. Leave your parakeets at home.
32“a different way, a different eye”–also known as cheating.
33Rich ….. @dachip / all those letters ?What did they spell
34Rachael Maddow had fun with this video last night
35Has anyone mentioned the fact that Issa’s family is from Lebanon, and he who must be obeyed (Grover Norquist) is married to a moslem lady.
Just sayin!
36So, Canada is more American than Hawaii is, huh?
Conservatives sure suck at double standard as much as they do at geography…
37Well Canada isn’t totally foreign soil, technically. A large portion of Canada is foreign tundra. The bird of the tundra is the Ptarmigan. The T is silent. I have a new nick for Senator Cruz that I would like to forward for consideration, to anyone interested. How’s about Ptarmigan Ted?
38I meant to say the P in Ptarmigan is silent, not the T.
39Tell a Canuk that Canada is kind of part of the USA and you just might find yourself wearing the smile of a hockey goalee who has taken to many pucks in the chops, eh.
40This lady apparently thinks Canada is America’s hat. Those were my brother’s words.
