Ted Cruz's Dad: 'The Average Black' Does Not Know The Minimum Wage Is Bad

Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) father said that African Americans "need to be educated" about Democrats, adding that "the average black does not" know that the minimum wage is bad.

"I said, as a matter of fact, ‘Did you know that Civil Rights legislation was passed by Republicans? It was passed by a Republican Senate under the threat of a filibuster by the Democrats,'" Cruz said. "'Oh, I didn’t know that.’ And then I said, ‘Did you know that every member of the Ku Klux Klan were Democrats from the South?’ ‘Oh I didn’t know that.’ You know, they need to be educated."

Cruz might be referring to the bloc of Southern Democrats that opposed the Civil Rights Act. (who are either dead or switch to Repug in Tricky y Nixon's Southern strategy)

Cruz went on to tout Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder For Blacks To Succeed by Jason Riley, a member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board who is African-American. Riley, Cruz said, talks about how "all the handouts to blacks have kept blacks in the poorhouse."

"Jason Riley said in an interview, Did you know before we had minimum wage laws black unemployment and white unemployment were the same? If we increase the minimum wage, black unemployment will skyrocket. See, he understands it, but the average black does not."

Meanwhile is nasty, toxic spawn (thanks, RX Repugs!):

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is preparing for the 2016 presidential race by managing to move even further to the right. At a weekend summit hosted by Americans for Prosperity (the Koch brothers’ 501(c)(4) “dark money” group), Cruz introduced a new plank of his foreign policy: bombing the Islamic State “back to the Stone Age.”
“America has always been reluctant to use military force, but we have never shied away from defending the United States of America,” Cruz said on Saturday. “ISIS says they want to go back and reject modernity, well I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age.”

GOP congressman unmoved by slain migrant kids: Send them back, anyway




A North Carolina Republican said Americans should have the right to smoke in privately owned businesses and fire LGBT employees.

“It’s the most egregious, awful crime and a pity, what has happened to these young children,”Pittenger told ThinkProgress.

“But do you want to open up America’s doors to the entire world? (strawman!)

We can’t handle the healthcare and education today for our own population! (because of VRWC/Repug tax cuts!)

We have to be sensible about what we our system can manage. So you put them on planes and you send them back.”

Louisiana Senate Candidate: U.S. Senate Is Run ‘Like A Plantation’



In an interview published Tuesday, Representative Bill Cassidy (R-LA) said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) “runs the Senate like a plantation,” a comparison that has angered voters and lawmakers from both parties.

Fellow Louisiana Republican Rob Maness, who is running against Cassidy for a seat in the US Senate, tweeted that he “should apologize now,” saying: “The Party of Lincoln is better than what Congressman Bill Cassidy said. The language he used included a term that is incredibly offensive to many Americans.”

Cassidy has so far defended his remarks saying he made the analogy between a slave plantation and the US Senate under Harry Reid’s leadership because, “Instead of the world’s greatest deliberative body, it is his personal, sort of, ‘It goes if I say it does, if not it stops.’”

Cruz Open To Using Government Funding Bill To Deport Dreamers

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), notorious for pushing the federal government to shut down in 2013, seems open to doing so again this year.

Cruz on Tuesday said he would consider attaching a measure to deport young undo ented immigrants to a bill keep the government open.

"I think we should use any and all means necessary to prevent the president from illegally granting amnesty. Certainly I think it would be appropriate to include in the [continuing resolution] but I think we should use every tool at our disposal," Cruz said,

PA evangelical Christian Taleban news:

Penn. Dem vows to veto evangelical ‘In God We Trust’ bill ‘imposing Christianity’ in govt.

Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said this week that he would veto a measure that would force county council members to display “In God We Trust” in their chambers.

“This has been a movement by the right-wing evangelical Christians across the country basically to impose Christianity only in courthouses and schools buildings,” Fitzgerald explained to KDKA radio on Tuesday. “And there’s one on county council, Sue Means, that’s pushing this.”

He pointed out that people did not need to be a “right-wing evangelical Christian” to be welcomed in Allegheny County.

“We welcome Hindus and Jews and Muslims and atheists,” he said. “This would not be the signal that we want to send as a community, that we’re exclusionary and not inviting to people of all stripes.”

Georgia Republican: I prefer ‘educated voters’ to an influx of ‘African-American shoppers’



“I would prefer more educated voters than a greater increase in the number of voters,” state Sen. Fran Millar (R) wrote on his Facebook page. “If you don’t believe this is an efort [sic] to maximize Democratic votes pure and simple, then you are not a realist. This is a partisan stunt and I hope it can be stopped.”

“I defined educated as being informed on the issues,” Millar wrote. “Finally Mr. Porter is welcome to look at my DeKalb NAACP award, so don’t try to accuse me of trying to suppress the African-American vote.”

GOP tries to expand women's access to birth control. Left's brains explode.

In a new TV ad, Gardner calls himself "a new kind of Republican." His mission, however, is an old one: To cir vent the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) mandate that insurance policies cover birth control without a co-pay.

Gardner claims over-the-counter access to the pill would be "cheaper and easier" for women. But women already pay for those pills as part of the health care coverage they purchase through employers. Why would we want to pay for them twice?

In fact, the ACA makes all forms of FDA-approved birth control available without co-pays — including more effective long-acting contraceptives like IUDs and implants.
What happens, however, if birth control pills are sold over the counter? Insurance companies will likely stop covering them. That means women will keep paying health insurance premiums, plus an additional out-of-pocket fee for pills that could cost up to $600 a year.

And free doctor visits to discuss birth-control risks could also be replaced with fee-based pharmacy consults to determine whether women have risk factors like smoking, hypertension or migraines that prevent safe use of the pill, reports the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

That's hardly a "cheaper and easier" alternative — which is why Politifact rates Gardner's claim as "mostly false."

Cliven Bundy Republicans Campaign To Seize and Sell Off Federal Land

there is a serious movement among Republicans who embrace Bundy’s claim the federal government is forbidden from owning land and the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Colorado is actively campaigning on a promise of seizing all federal land. His plan, like those in several other Republican states, is confiscating national parks, national forests, and all public land from the federal government and selling them off to the Koch brothers for mining, drilling, and logging. As private land owned by the Kochs, federal regulations and environmental protections become null and void and America’s National Parks, wilderness areas, and waterways become dirty energy wastelands.

The Republican candidate, Bob Beauprez, openly called for seizing all federal land in Colorado because he claims “this is a fight we have to wage.” Like Cliven Bundy, Beauprez claims that all federally-owned land in the state is private Colorado land that means “we can cancel their (federal government) lease like they are tenants.” Beauprez is one of several Republicans running for office who agree with Bundy that states have the right to sell off federally-owned land to the highest bidder primarily because they do not acknowledge any federal government authority. For his part, according to his campaign do ent, “Liberty’s Promise: My Plan to Protect Freedom and Cons utional Rights,” Beauprez intends on “reestablishing state rights and duties” primarily “by taking control of land from the federal government” and selling it to mining, oil, and logging interests.
Like most 10th Amendment, state rights extremists, Beauprez’s claim to protect cons utional rights by seizing federal land misses the important point that seizing federal land is patently uncons utional.

Public university required students to submit sexual history or face disciplinary action


Clemson is requiring students and faculty to complete an online course through a third party website that asks invasive questions about sexual history.

“How many times have you had sex (including oral) in the last 3 months?” asks one question.

“With how many different people have you had sex (including oral) in the last 3 months?” asks another.

“We believe you’ll enjoy the assignment,” the email, provided to Campus Reform, reads.

“It is an engaging and informative online course, created with students for students. It will provide you with useful information regarding sexual violence and relationships. The course promotes a healthier and safer campus environment.”
