Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the only Republican challenger to Donald Trump who could possibly pass Trump in delegates, is trying to outTrump Trump!
His suggestion, after the Belgium terrorist attack yesterday, is that police in America start to monitor and patrol “Muslim” neighborhoods!
First of all, how does one define a “Muslim” neighborhood? By name, by appearance, by requiring people to reveal their religious beliefs?
Are we to start allowing police to monitor an Hispanic or Latino neighborhood? Oh wait, that already happens illegally in Maricopa County, Arizona, where anyone can be checked on their immigration status by the police under Sheriff Joe Arpaio, although it is illegal, and causes stress among Spanish speaking people.
Are we to start allowing police to monitor African American neighborhoods? Oh wait, that already happens , and is the major cause of so many police shootings and killings.
This insistence on a “police state” mentality can do tremendous harm, in that it can convince ethnic, racial, and religious groups to be disillusioned, and feel a need and desire to strike out against an American society that treats white Christian Anglo Americans as a privileged class, that is treated better than everyone else!
Oh wait, that is already the case in this nation, white privilege, and hasn’t it cost enough trouble already without making it worse, as Senator Ted Cruz, crazily, is promoting?
“JEB” has endorsed Cruz. He’s just sold the last tiny scrap of his soul to the Devil. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/23/jeb-bush-to-endorse-ted-cruz-calling-him-a-consistent-principled-conservative/
It’s really hard to decide who’s more evil, Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
Trump media ally Alex Jones claims the Brussels attacks are a “false flag”. http://mediamatters.org/video/2016/03/22/trump-media-ally-alex-jones-on-brussels-attacks/209452
You are correct, Princess Leia. Both are equally evil, Southern Liberal!
Sounds like the nurse forgot to give that Jones guy his meds!
Because of the attacks, they’ve been having all these terrorism experts in the news. Many of them are saying that poverty in Europe plays a role in the extremism.
Another thing they are mentioning is that the security in some of those countries is subpar.

A Muslim guy who was interviewed on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show last night said that, if Cruz is basing it on appearance, then it wouldn’t work, because not all Muslims look Middle Eastern.
Great point, Southern Liberal!
This will further kill Ted Cruz’s candidacy, certainly any chance of winning the Presidency!
Trump and Cruz = the mayor in the movie “Chocolat”.
Trump and Cruz and their feud over their wives is absolutely pathetic. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/274225-mika-brzezinski-cruz-and-trumps-wives-feud-stupid
That’s what I hate about our media. They waste their time on tabloid stuff like that.
LOL! The Trump/Cruz nastiness has made it’s way into the National Enquirer. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/ted-cruz-tabloid-report-garbage
