It saddens more than surprises, I suppose, that the Republicans are beating their chests about this morning’s indecencies in Belgium.
Sen. Ted Cruz reacted to the terrorist attacks in Brussels today by saying that the U.S. should “empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized,” a vague proposal with troubling civil liberties implications.
What does this actually mean? Is Cruz proposing that Michigan’s Governor Snyder call-out the National Guard and place Dearborn, Michigan under martial law?
Does Cruz not know that, albeit indirectly, Snyder has played a part in poisoning far more Americans than the most ambitious jihadist?
