Ted Cruz' Father Fought Alongside Fidel Castro

Let the games begin. Rafael Jr. is about to have a lot of questions to answer.

Ted Cruz' Father Fought Alongside Fidel Castro


In fact, Cruz offered up his father to the Ag Summit attendees as an example of the right way to be an immigrant. Before coming to America, Cruz said, his father was "imprisoned and tortured in Cuba."

What Cruz did not tell the audience of crusty conservatives — and what I did not know until I got back to my writing desk a few days later — was that Cruz's father, Rafael, actually fought alongside Fidel Castro's communist forces. He was captured and jailed and beaten by the regime of Fulgencio Batista, the US-backed dictator.

Somehow, despite the fact that he was a rebel fighting alongside communists, Rafael was released from the dictator's prison sometime around 1957 and accepted to the University of Texas. He then made it to America on a student visa when a family friend bribed a Cuban crony to stamp his exit visa. How a Cuban rebel could get a visa into the United States in the 1950s without lying about aiding and abetting Castro is beyond me. Lying on a visa application is grounds for deportation.

I'd love to see the original document, Senator. I mean, if you're seriously running for president.

A few years back, when the birther conspiracy against Obama was in full bloom, Pastor Rafael Cruz told a Texas audience that he'd "like to send [Obama] back to Kenya."

President Barack Obama's father was an African Muslim. That doesn't sit well with the nativists. But Cruz's daddy was, by his son's own admission, "a guerrilla, throwing Molotov cocktails and blowing up buildings" while fighting for Castro against a US-backed regime. Hardly the Horatio Alger biography required from the hard-right.

There's more.

Rafael married an American woman named Eleanor, and they moved to Canada to chase their American dream in the Alberta oil fields. Rafael got Canadian citizenship, got drunk a lot, got his wife pregnant, and got Jesus.

At least Obama can rightfully claim that Hawaii — where he was born — is part of America. That gives the president a leg up on Pastor Cruz's son Ted, who was born in Calgary in 1970. (That's in Canada.) Pastor Cruz did not become an American citizen until 2005.

Remember, you can't be president of the United States unless you're a "natural born Citizen." The question of Cruz's nationality centers on his mother, who claims on his Canadian birth certificate to be an American citizen raised in Delaware.

I believe that his mother is an American — I'm no conspiracy kook. But Cruz is the Pied Piper of the Tea Party movement, the ones who were peddling the narrative of Obama as a mongrel Manchurian Candidate.

Certainly those people will want to see Cruz's proof of citizenship as well. Did his mother live in the United States for at least 10 years — with at least five of them coming after her 14th birthday — as required by US law at the time of her son's birth?

Maybe next time we meet in Iowa, Cruz will show me her report cards to prove it.

Makes me wonder if you had this kind of interest in who Obama's father fought or what he stood for?

I kinda doubt it being the hack that you are...

 

[IlarMeilyr]

It amuses me greatly to see utter zombie plodding shit brained far left wing liberal hacks like Cunto getting so worked up over Ted.

Kinda makes me think Ted is worthy of further consideration.

Rafael Jr. is your kind of guy, except that he's a wetback crazy christian of an illegal alien.

I don't know anything of Ted's religious views. Haven't much cared.

He is clearly not an illegal alien, however inasmuch as he's not an alien at all. He is a natural born American citizen. I realize that fact bothers you. I'm fine with that.

I was speaking of Daddy, who entered the country using a bribed student visa that he ignored by staying in the US after he graduated. Don't worry, you'll shortly hear all about it.

Unless Ted's father is running for President, I couldn't give a liberal's ass about how he came to America.

I'm not worried. It is and will remain quite unimportant.

Sure, sure. Daddy was an illegal but that won't matter eh? It sure matters when anyone else is illegal. The worm has turned.

Wrong again and more massively dishonest and stupid of you than normal.

It DOES matter when a candidate is an alien (much less an illegal alien).

But no; it sure doesn't matter and never really has if a candidate's papa is an alien or even an illegal alien.

No worm has turned. You are just straining for some petty rhetoric that has no basis in reality and no persuasive value of any kind.

Carry on.

Well, since he is a joke anyway, it really doesn't matter.

Cruz will prove useful when it's time to start tying the eventual nominee to Cruz, either in agreeing with some of his outlandish statements, or not distancing himself from them.

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

So, Obama's parents were communist.

So was Barack Obama Sr.

So was Frank Marshall Davis...and I suspect that's his real papa

So the birthers really ARE full of shit?

Where is there any potential for "Birth" to be relevant in this discussion.

Natural Born Citizen, as it is used in the US Constitution, speaks to the UNIQUE standards essential to the office of the President of the United States.

Therefore "Common Law" is unsuited for defining the unique terms which establish those standards.

The President of the US is tasked with DEFENDING the Constitution of the United States... thus the President of the US must be steeped in and an adherent of the principles which the US Constitution recognizes, respects and defends. As such the President of the United States is required to be a Natural Born Citizen; which is to say a Citizen whose citizenship is the consequence OF CITIZENSHIP; wherein One Male Citizen joins with One Female Citizen, the natural consequence OF is: A CITIZEN!

 

[IlarMeilyr]

I was speaking of Daddy, who entered the country using a bribed student visa that he ignored by staying in the US after he graduated. Don't worry, you'll shortly hear all about it.

Where's the relevance? Cruz is not eligible for the office. Which YOU will be hearing all about shortly, which will put to bed, forever, all of the rumors that obama's would-be presidency is legitimate.

My guess is that Cruz is running, as a means to force you imbeciles to reject his eligibility, as a means of forcing the debate on why he's not eligible, toward exposing obama's existence to the fatally flawed reasoning that 'being born in the US, equates to a natural born citizen' in terms of the UNIQUE STANDARD established by the Unique Constitution, to qualify candidates for the unique responsibilities common to the unique office of the President of the US... disqualifying "COMMON LAW" as the arbiter of the UNIQUE TERMS at issue.

Which will set Ted Cruz up as being among the few who have ever breathed the rare air common to American leadership.

Certain folks on the right who support some other candidate will engage in silly ineffectual infighting to CLAIM that Ted is ineligible.

They are wrong.

Certain folks on the left engage in this discussion only because they are butthurt that Obumbler's own status as an American citizen was challenged for so long.

Liberal butthurt is massive and perpetual.

 

[Stephanie]

Is there some issue here anyone gives a shit about? My give a shit meter is registering zero here.

Of course - you're as much a wingnut as Cruz.

Synthia YOU are a wing nut, just on the other side.

So, perhaps you shouldn't use that term so cavalierly.

yep and not the brightest one either. These poor tools will swallow anything fed to them by some unknown site nobody ever heard of

Eww... it's always fascinatin' to see the inner workings of the Alinsky-ite... NOTHING expresses foolishness with quite as much slobber as that feckless bite.

 

[Clementine]

Rafael, the father, said he didn't know Castro was a Communist when he fought with him.

Neither did anybody else.

What the stupid dimocrap scumbag doesn't know is that Fidel Castro (because he's a dimocrap and that means he's stupid) didn't even announce he was a communist until JFK was in Office.

Just a fact.

dimocraps are the scum of the earth

another fact

I haven't heard the left ever say anything bad about dictators. I thought they always admired Castro the way they carry on.

They are doing their best to dig for dirt. They won't address anything Cruz says or debate him. They will just do what they do best and try to eliminate the competition through ridicule and cheap shots.

Might be my new sig:

"So Rafael Cruz fought with Castro and bribed the anti-communist government that opposed Castro. Anything else?
After his student visa expired, Rafael Cruz obtained political asylum in the U.S. He then found work with the oil industry in Canada, where Ted Cruz was born.

Rafael Cruz became a Canadian citizen while in Canada. While his son was serving as solicitor general of Texas in 2005, Rafael Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship and became and American citizen.So Ted Cruz wasn't born here and his father -- who, unlike Obama's father, was an actual presence in his son's life -- fought with a commie, bribed his way to America, and has pledged loyalty to three countries in his lifetime. I know Canada ain't Kenya or Indonesia, but can you imagine if this were Obama's origin story?"

[Synthaholic]

Of course it is but how does Rafael Jr. explain that daddy was a Commie?

Why would Ted have to "explain" the choices made many years earlier by his father?

Does Obumbler need to "explain" HIS father's choice to abandon his own family?

Divorcing your wives isn't abandoning your family? Rafael Sr. has done that twice now, and he was Catholic. And yes he has to explain it, you guys required Obama too. In both cases daddy was a Commie, only his daddy took up arms and fought with Castro. Canada Castro Ted, has a nice ring to it.

Horse shit. A divorce is not actually akin to pulling up stakes, returning to another fucking continent and abandoning your family entirely.

But even if your idiotic claim had any factual or logical validity (it doesn't), the question remains:

How would Ted have any obligation to "explain" his father's actions of years earlier?

And no, you liar, nobody "made" Obumbler explain shit. And that asshole certainly is well versed in the art of stonewalling anyway.

Gonna be a long 21 months for you: Google

Payback.rafael cruz a commie - Google Search

Not at all.

but it has been a VERY fucking long term and half so far.

Just wait until Obama declares himself Dictator For Life!

Any day now . . .
