This sums up the idiocy perfectly.

This is it. This is the big one. Obama is about to make his move. Martial law, you betcha, FEMA death camps and secret tunnels under Wal-Mart. Oh they warned us, they did, the powdered wig wearing Patriots of the Tea Party, they warned us. Grab the wimen folk, load yer guns, hoist the Confederate Battle Flag! To the bunkers! To the bunkers!
"Just because you're paranoid," said Ted Cruz, "doesn't mean they're not out to get you."
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
Right.
And just because you have the word "Senator" in front of your name doesn't mean you're sane, rational, qualified to run the country, or have an IQ higher than that of a sea cucumber.

Because, you know, if there really was a secret plot, the generals would tell him. What? Senator Cruz has asked about our super secret nefarious plot to invade our own country and force Texans into hidden underground FEMA centers where theyll be disarmed and gay married to Muslims? Drat! Hes on to us! Then they twirl their Snidely Whiplash moustaches, Curses! Foiled again by that brave Canadian cartoon hero, Dudley Cruz.
Lets say this really was a thing.
Sure, just for the sake of argument, lets say Obama really is planning on herding Texans into FEMA death camps disguised as Wal-Marts.
Why would he need the army?
Think about it. Why would you need some secret plot to get Texans into a Wal-Mart?
Announce a Veterans Day sale with 50% off all ammunition, Duck Dynasty camouflage, and frozen chicken nuggets, unlock the doors, and step the hell out of the way before you get trampled.
Honestly, where does the Army come in?

I don't think Cruz is all that stupid. He just has a constituency that is collectively dummer than a bag of hammers and he knows how to appeal to that constituency.

If you google some combination of "Walmart, Plumbing, Stores closed for 6 months" it will blow your mind.

(11,084 posts)Though they have no true brain, no Sea Cucumber has ever made a snowball on the floor of the Senate and claimed it proved global warming was a hoax. And no Sea Cucumber has ever supported the ludicrous idea of trickle-down economics. And No Sea Cucumber ever wrote a letter to Iran trying to undermine a sitting President's foreign policy.
