If Ya Had It, Where Would Ya Put It?
Y’all, Ted Cruz is nuts.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is arguing that the Second Amendment includes a right to revolt against government tyranny, a point of emphasis uncommon for mainstream presidential candidates.
Look, no matter how many damn guns you have, you will never have as many as the US Military. Mainly because if you did, you wouldn’t have anywhere to put it.
No, that picture doesn’t look a thing like Elmer Fudd. Not a thing. Okay, so maybe a little.
The military budget for 2015 is $555 Billion. Yeah, with a B. If you gun guys had that much money, you’d have already bought a country of your own and had an episode of Preppers about you.
Ted, son, you ain’t overthrowing no governments. You’re a big chicken. Hell, even your Dad fled Cuba when the talk got tough.
You, son, are Elmer Fuddless.
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
Can’t git much more revolting than Cruz.
1He can have his gun, I’ll take the military with missiles.
2He is either sniffing something he shouldn’t, or not sniffing something he should. He be crazy.
3Most people grow up and learn to compromise with people around them. Leaders of the GOP and the rightwing voters urging them on have never done that. They’re still in the stage of the little kid who’s gonna hold his breath till he turns blue, or take his ball and go home if you won’t play by his rules that let him win all the time.
A poll said that a majority of GOP voters would rather their candidates stood by their principles rather than compromising, even if it means losing the election. Fine by me, folks.
4I wonder if he will endorse this concept if he were elected POTUS?
Or how can he, as a sitting Sen. support this?
Honestly, he makes me want to vomit. If he wins, I’m hoofing it the 25 miles to the Canadian border and making a brea for it!!!!
5Kill the wabbit…kill the wabbit
6The originality of the right wing is beginning to overwhelm me; or not. It is sort of ironic that he stole “stand with” from that master plagiarist “Stand with Rand.”
All those dog whistles aimed at their base warning about President Obama coming for their guns to be replaced with HRC is coming for the guns. At what point do the rubes catch on to being played?
Whichever Klown floats to the surface to be the Republican nominee, sort of has me itching for HRC to be the Democratic nominee. It would be worth it to observe her sneaking up to the opponent’s podium to yell: “BOO.”
7Second Amendment junkies forget all about Article 1 Section 8. It clearly defines the roles of the militia, and one of the roles is to put down insurrections. Constitutional illiteracy only appeals to other constitutional illiterates, like ammosexuals, secessionists, and other brands of delusional idiots.
8Think about it, folks! R. “Ted” Cruz has basically declared open season… on himself! Maybe we can get those old posters printed up that say “Cruz Season” like in the old Bugs/Daffy/Elmer cartoons…
So the next time he shows up, we welcome him with open arms… blasting away.
9Crazy gallops in the Cruz family. Ted’s running for Prez is a gift to the Democrats. Ted winning the presidency wouldn’t happen even in an alternate universe.
10Here’s a little problem that Cruz is going to have to deal with sooner than later!
Where is Cruz’s “Consular Report of Birth Abroad,” required of all citizens born outside the US?

11Are these Republican/gun-crazy/super-pretend-Christians always wrong about everything? They do not know science, history, the law, basics of human behavior and certainly not Christian teaching. Where the Hell do they get their info….and please do not say Limbaugh or Fox “News”?????
12“Stand with Rand” Cruz, aka former Sen Ron Paul endorsed Cruz. Is this:
a. a false flag operation
13b. sabotage
c. The Onion
d. Ron love guns more than his son
Alice Beth they pull it out of their arses and wave it around…
14In answer to J.J.’s question, “Where would you put it?” Of course the answer is “Where the sun don’t shine”, and then Aggieland Liz tells us what happens next. There had better be a lot of gun cleaning going on after that.
15Lynn’s comment brought back the Bugs cartoon set to a Wagnerian opera, complete with Elmer in Viking horns and Bugs in Brunhilda braids. Cruz needs those Viking horns. John?
I used to teach Government. Somehow, I missed how someone running to be the nation’s top executive can run on a statement encouraging people to overthrow the government he would be sworn to protect against all enemies foreign and domestic. I missed that one in my political science courses. I need to give ole Dr. Carter and Dr. Riddlesperger a call. They must have taught me wrong.
16Except you’re assuming that the military, most of which are conservative, would obey illegal orders to engage the civilian populace.
You are incorrect.
17I’m starting to think that the only rational response to Cruz and pretty much any other GOP candidate is to point and laugh. I wish more people would, especially while listening to them blather on in person.
18Realistically, if Cruz were to be elected President then I would seriously consider an armed revolution against the government.
This is unlikely to happen since Cruz is already revolting enough on his own.
19Thanks you so much, all of you rational thinkers! What frightens me horribly is the possibility of a complete idiot taking the Presidency because of apathy among voters. Oh, how that terrifies me! We already went through eight years of imbecilic George W, who let Cheney run the country. We’re edging up on our legislators making us a world joke, and the world IS watching. If I didn’t visit the Salon from time to time, I’d just sit in a corner and cry for my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Thanks, you “guys!”
20The First Amendment gives us the right to believe any damn thing we want to believe as long as we call it religion. And the Second Amendment give us the right to exercise that religion with guns.
Is this a great country or what?
21I’mssure that over an under 12 that Teddy’s draped over his shoulder and that fearsome pose really scares the bejebus out of an average jar head. Or maybe not. Please, Ted, insurrect on us.
22I love Rhea’s response. Hope to do a lot of pointing and laughing during the GOP primary. Any bets on who drops out first? Is it first in, first out? (Paul) Or maybe last in, first out. (?)
23Cruz suffers from insurrectile dysfunction. Ain’t no Viagra gonna help dat.
24Just like Elmer Fudd, Ted Cruz would talk a wasically wabbit to death before he’d ever land a shot.
But he figures there’s got to be some second amendment voters out there that he can promise to protect. And if the prop over his shoulder is big enough they might notice him.
25Back during the Reagan era, I was just a cog in the military industrial complex. At that time we were designing a system that could hit a moving vehicle from hundreds of miles away with a precision of a foot. And you can only imagine how much more advanced the military hardware is 30 years later. I advise all those “rebels” that the only thing they need to take on the US military is a bunch of white underwear. They will either be changing it or waving it.
26I’m not worried about our servicemen, or even (most) of our policemen (generic terms y’all, workin) engaging with the civilian populace. Far more concerned about Blackwater/Xe/A… whatever their new name is. Paid mercenary guerrillas won’t give a crap, they just want their $$ and they’re likely to be paranoid ammosexuals to begin with and think most of us are barely good for target practice.
27You know, he DOES look kind of like Elmer Fudd, now that you mention it. Hope the Koch brothers notice the similarity.
