And with a right elbow to his wife's face, Ted Cruz

rang down the curtain on his race for the GOP

presidential nomination.

"Behold, brethren, the Fist of Charity!"

Take me."

"'UFIA!' saith the Lord, 'UFIA!'"

If, as he claims, President Obama is 'dictatorial' like Fidel

Castro, will Ted Cruz follow his father's example and 

emigrate to Canada? 

"Some glad morning when this life is o'er, 

I'll fly away; 

To a home on God's celestial shore, 

I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, Oh Glory 

I'll fly away;

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, 

I'll fly away."

The Deep-Fried Cuban Roll at the State Fair of Texas

is certified to be 100% Rafael Cruz-free.

This is why it's easy for Rafael Cruz to

impersonate Robert W. Welch, Jr., founder

of The John Birch Society.  Rafael is on the

right, Robert is on the left.

A Robert Welch impersonator was unmasked at the Family

Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa on Saturday.  It turns

out he is Rafael Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz's father, who sings

a tune even loonier than his son's.  

Rafael Cruz Expresses Desire to Go Mano a Mano

with Fidel Castro

Ungrateful Immigrants

So, Rafael Cruz, Ted Cruz's dad, fought on the side of 

Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution and then 

bribed an official in the anti-Communist Batista 

government---a U. S. ally in 1957---in order to get 

an exit permit so that he could come to the United 

States on a four-year student visa and study at the

 University of Texas.  While at the University, Rafael

 met and married Eleanor Darragh, a woman from 

Delaware of Italian and Irish descent.  After graduation, 

Rafael and Eleanor moved to Alberta, Canada, 

where he worked in the oil business and became a 

Canadian citizen.  (Rafael didn't become an American

 citizen until 2005, 48 years after he emigrated from Cuba.) 

During their years as Canadian residents, Rafael 

and Eleanor became the parents of now-Senator Ted 

Cruz in 1970 and, four years later, were granted 

political asylum in the U. S. and moved back to Texas. 

How ironic, then, that the junior Senator from 

the Lone Star State is such an ardent opponent

of a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
