"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Letter from Senator Ted Cruz to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Bank of America, TD Bank Group, Smith & Wesson, and Sturm, Ruger & Co.

He calls Rahm The Godfather

"In Texas, we have a more modest view of government.

We do not accept the notion that government officials should behave as bullies, trying to harass or pressure private companies into enlisting in a political lobbying campaign.  And we subscribe to the notion, quaint in some quarters, that private compaines don't work for elected officials, elected officials work for private citizens."

Read it.

Heh, that was good.  I hope DC doesn't infect the lad, I could stand to see a lot more of this!
