More from Ted Cruz
We keep hearing from [Barack] Obama and Hillary Clinton and Washington Republicans that they’re searching for these mythical moderate rebels. It’s like a purple unicorn. They never exist. These moderate rebels end up being jihadists.
Ted CruzTed Cruz Whatever the history of U.S. intervention in Iraq, our priorities now should be to protect our people and defend our national security interests, not to try to resolve an intractable religious divide some 1,500 years in the making.
Ted CruzTed Cruz What I believe is that we should defend life.
Ted CruzTed Cruz You have a right to have a feather duster. If anyone breaks in, you can make sure they’re really clean as they’re robbing your house.
Ted CruzTed Cruz I think our nation faces enormous challenges, and we need leaders who are willing to tell the truth and do the right thing regardless of the consequences.
Ted CruzTed Cruz It is very simple to be likeable in Washington. You just go along to get along. You just do what your leadership wants.
Ted CruzTed Cruz In the history of humanity, there’s never been a country like America.
Ted CruzTed Cruz A lot of my colleagues actually yell and curse at each other. I don’t do that.
Ted CruzTed Cruz I want more rules, more scrutiny, and to defend the country.
Ted CruzTed Cruz Always be sexy. I salute that message.
Ted CruzTed Cruz Remember the lessons of history – if we don’t learn from history, we’re bound to repeat it.
Ted CruzTed Cruz 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.
Ted CruzTed Cruz We need the private sector’s help, because government is not innovating. Technology is running ahead by leaps and bound. The private sector will help, just as I helped after 9/11. But they must be engaged, and they must be asked. I will ask them. I know them.
Ted CruzTed Cruz I appreciate the good work that senators in both parties have put into trying to fix our broken immigration system. There are some good elements in this proposal, especially increasing the resources and manpower to secure our border and also improving and streamlining legal immigration. However, I have deep concerns with the proposed path to citizenship. To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally.
Ted CruzTed Cruz If the Republican Party stands for individual liberty, if we defend the Bill of Rights, if we stand for keeping this country safe, then we deserve to win, and if we don’t, we deserve to lose. It shouldn’t be – it’s not just a game of blue team/red team. It is actually about making a difference in people’s lives.
Ted CruzTed Cruz The last 15 years, there has been no recorded warming. Contrary to all the theories that they are expounding, there should have been warming over the last 15 years. It hasn’t happened.

More on correctness
Correctness is clearly the prime quality. If a system does not do what it is supposed to do, then everything else about it matters little.
Bertrand MeyerBertrand Meyer And I know you’re not supposed to say ‘Nazi Germany,’ but I don’t care about political correctness. You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe.
Benjamin CarsonBenjamin Carson We will stop the terrorist attacks before they occur because we will not be prisoners to political correctness. Rather, we will speak the truth. Border security is national security and we will not be admitting jihadists as refugees.
Ted CruzTed Cruz Political correctness has a stranglehold on academia, on feminism, and on the media. It is a form of both madness and maggotry, and has already silenced the voices of writers like James Dicky across the land.
Pat ConroyPat Conroy One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
