Ted and Rafael Cruz, Spokespersons for Republican Logic

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was born in Canada of a Cuban national father and an American mother.  He was raised in Canada under a system of universal, government paid health care.  

Ted Cruz, whose full name is Rafael Edward Cruz, was granted American citizenship by virtue of his mother. He also held Canadian citizenship by virtue of his place of birth, Calgary, Canada.  Just a few months ago, in August, he renounced his Canadian citizenship.

Rafael Cruz, the elder, who remained a citizen of Cuba until 2005 when he became a naturalized citizen of the United States, joined his son's 2012 Senate campaign exhorting Republicans to send President Obama "back to Kenya."   In April of this year, he spoke to a Tea Party group in Hood County, Texas telling them that this is a Christian nation, (not Judeo-Christian), and that the Declaration of Independence was a "divine revelation from God".  

what eye thynk:  So, Rafael Cruz, who emigrated to Canada from Cuba in 1957 but didn't bother to become a U.S. citizen until eight years ago, wants to send Barack Obama, who was born in Hawaii and has been a U.S. citizen his entire life "back to Kenya"--a country that didn't exist, by the way, until nearly three years after Barack Obama was born.  And Ted Cruz, who, along with his family, received fully paid government health care growing up in Canada, wants to deny a program of government health care to the citizens of this country.  

Where is the logic?

The attitude of "I've got mine and I want to make sure nobody gets any of it" represented by the two Mr. Cruzes defies reason and flies in the face of the Christian values these men claim to represent.  Yet it seems to be a basic premise of the modern Republican Party where there is a "we" and a "them" but no apparent awareness of the all inclusive "us" that makes the United States of America the country it is.
