Okay, here ya go. Translated from Cuban/Canadian/Texan into English what this means is that he wants to be able to call African Americans the N word, LGBT people the Q word, and Muslims the Sand N words.
Women should be called dames, cute little filly, or simply, sweetheart followed by words fetch me some …
He wants to fly his confederate flag and name all the school Jefferson Davis.
He’s sick of mixed marriages on teevee, and that Neal deGrasse Tyson should have to wear white face when he talking smart.
Black men should not be allowed in the White House because that just doesn’t even make sense.
He wants to preach that Muslim people aren’t even people because they don’t love Jesus.
He wants to rename the Girl Scouts to the Not Lesbian Scouts.
He wants Mexicans to stop talking that moon man – language that he can’t even understand.
He wants people to start naming their kids Ozzie and Harriet like normal people.
It never ceases to amaze me that Ted Cruz thinks he is white.
1And he shall be named forevermore, “hypocrite”.
He is voting/supporting a man that has disrespected and maligned his wife and attempted to tie his father to the shooting of POTUS Kennedy.
And, cooks his bacon on an assault rifle!
Why does Hypocrite Cruz hate America?
2Frothing at the mouth again while eyes glaze over. His new gig. The Senate doesn’t want him and told him so.
3Little Teddie also thinks everyone should be issued nacilbupeR selective history passes that erase the fact that Dubya was a war criminal and that every nacilbupeR SOH in the 90s was a pervert.
Be afraid of science Little Teddie. Be very afraid. Only with a circular cranial saw can it be determined what variety of pickle juice floats your brain or if it’s some rarefied gas that keeps it from floating free, whenever you open your mouth.
4Don’t hold back, PKM. Tell us what you really think.
5Tell me the voters that put him in office have an IQ above room temp.
6This! You wrote the hell out of this, Ma’am!
Sing it!
7Brava!
8I wish I could think that he won’t be re-elected to his present position, but I’m not sanguine.
Maybe someone will do that bible verse on him that someone else wished on our POTUS.
9Oozy Croozy has a physical deformity. His Decency Bone and Honesty Bone were both broken shortly after birth and they never healed. His daddy prayed over them and that caused them to wither and dry up, along with his heart.
10In contrast, our candidate is Hillary Clinton. I have always liked and respected her. In recent months I think I may be in love. From the Benghazi hearings on she has handled herself with grace and bad-assery, a great combination.
This is a link to a very long, thoughtful analysis of Clinton’s reputation and how it came to be. I hope it is useful:

Sooo,, I have an idea how to condense the name of Cruz’s Cuban/Canadian/Texan dialect into something more palatable that also accomplishes one of their main goals: Inclusion. Repugnant. Ism?
12Thank JJ, as usual, spot on!
…. but I will say that as the acronym gets longer and more cumbersome, I’m ready to go back to “queer” and just let it stand for all of our various ways of being ourselves in the face of a narrow and outdated definition of gender. We’ve embraced “fag” and “dyke” as powerful words instead of only the terminology of hate, and maybe it’s ‘cuz I’m getting old, but if we add anymore letters to our original LGB (and I’m not saying I don’t understand we why did, but…) I’ll jumble the mess up every damn time.
It’s not even a GOOD acronym in that it’s not pronounceable. Makes me think of Big Bird, asking about that weird word “abcah-defgah-ja-heckle-minop….” … well you get the idea.
13Lynn N: excellent piece by Michael Arnovitz, thank you so much
14slipstream, since you asked so nicely, I will share a few more of my thoughts about pervangelists and snacilbupeR members of Congress. Not one of them has mentioned the heroism of the LGBTQA community at Pulse who saved so many lives and made it possible for those who were injured to be taken to a trauma center where more lives were saved. Nor have snacilbupeR politicians credited the trauma surgeons who have done such an amazing job against the odds. 43 critically injured men and women who now have a stable prognosis.
No, pervangelist politicians like Cruz cannot be bothered to do the jobs they are paid to do. They deny their responsibility in these latest deaths caused by an assault rifle which they could have banned, but instead they chose to dial for NRA dollars.
Unlike so many in the LGBTQA community, Cruz and too many Congress varmints have never served in the military. It’s galling that they don’t recognize and thank the LGBTQA community for their service. It’s galling that they don’t recognize the LGBTQA community under the 14th Amendment and provide equal protection under the law for all citizens. Fair housing, job protection and everything the rest of us expect as American citizens.
Instead snacilbupeR politicians create problems where there are none as evidenced by their rush to legislate who pees where, with no clue about the discrimination endured by the LGBTQA community, particularly the transgender who bear the brunt of the physical assaults.
Our LGBTQA friends serve the country, while chicken hawk punks collect a salary and do nothing. So yes, until there is sane gun safety legislation with a ban on assault weapons, our friends in the LGBTQA community are safe and accorded all their rights as citizens, and I am no longer embarrassed by snacilbueR pervangelists sitting idle in Congress, the Congress varmints can expect a few verbal volleys from my e-mail and twitter accounts.
Then again, a picture is worth a thousand words.

15Sister Artemis, I get your point. If SF for your straight friends was added to the LGBTQA acronym, there’s not much even a good Scrabble player could do with only one vowel and those 7 consonants.
It’s late now, but tomorrow will see what can be done with EQUAL or another acronym that you might like.
16Ted Cruz is a politician. And he wants to end political correctness. He wants to stop himself from being correct? And he wants people to know about it?
Sounds more like political craziness.
17Sister Artemis, I have a trans son, and even I am beginning to refer to them as the alphabet people.
18That was supposed to read repugnican…..ism
19AKLynne … I had the exact same idea, “Alphabet”.
Re: PC, and the bashing of it, as in we need to stop being so PC according to the most vulgar of republicans … perhaps if these shooters and haters that support them WERE more PC, there wouldn’t be so much carnage.
20To me, it’s not PC, it’s love, honor and respect for your fellow humans. If you speak with a compassionate voice, and somehow leave off a letter, or use an outmoded term, or missed the memo on the latest demonym, most folks will understand. And for the folks who don’t understand… well, some of them don’t want to understand. The ability to nurse a grievance transcends all groups.
But…
If you’re just a jerk, and you want to go on being a jerk, and ain’t nobody gonna tell YOU how to act, because just because, then PC is a convenient punching bag, and whining about it just a dog whistle to other jerks.
21My only issue with this post is that it was about Cruz, I was hoping to never see his name again. At least there wasn’t a photo.
22As I remind people, “PC” is not about removing one’s personal power, it’s about respecting others as you would be respected. What’s wrong with that? Didn’t some guy a long time ago call that the Golden Rule?
23My personal favorite name to call myself is “Straight, but not narrow”!
24As my late daddy would have said, “Political Correctness is the politically correct way of telling someone to stop acting like a flaming a**hole.”
25Sorry, mama, if I offended.
FLORIDUH-if the gators don’t getcha-the gayhaters will.
26I thought Ozzie and Harriet’s kids were named David and Ricky.
27There are two types of politicos:
Type A: Truly cares about America, is smart, informed and hard-working.
(See Elizabeth Warren.)
Type B: Can’t get a decent paying job in the private sector.
28(See Ted Cruz.)
I think he is off in a corner plotting to try and take the republican nomination from Trump at the convention.
29Montag, it never ceases to amaze me that Cruz thinks he’s human. He’s shiny molded plastic, a wind-up doll.
30Oh dear. We gotta make a plan. NO CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT, not that we want him being senator for Texas. Now ‘splain to me: how’d Cruz slither into the U.S. Senate? I forget. I mean, Dewhurst had it all lined up and lo, Cruz just burst on the scene.
31Marge Wood, Loathsome Ted spells out the problems with ‘special’ elections, when winning is a few hundred votes in a state with millions because so few show up in off calendar elections. Then, the appropriately named “run-off” phase that produces things like Teddie and that crazy cat from Maine, Pepe LePage. Yep. Run-off. Questions would be the run-off from what …….
32Once again, keep in mind that Teddie was elected with only 4 % of the vote He can be defeated in the next election. The wing nuts are not a majority of the voters in Texas.
Also Teddie is planning a to pull a big stunt at the Repub convention this summer. Many of his state leaders are working behind the seen to pull something off.
