Cicero Deserves Better Than an Imbecile Like Ted Cruz

Poor Cicero deserves better than to be quoted a couple millenniums later by Ted Cruz, but sadly, he was:

“The words of Cicero — powerfully relevant 2,077 years later,” Mr. Cruz said, adapting the words slightly for his immediate purposes.

“What? Shall we, who are the Senate, tolerate President Obama, openly desirous to destroy the constitution and this republic?” Mr. Cruz said. 

“For we have a resolution of the Senate, a formidable and authoritative decree against you, Mr. President; the wisdom of the republic is not at fault, nor the dignity of this senatorial body,” he said. “We, we alone — I say it openly — we, the Senate, are waiting in our duty to stop this lawless administration and its unconstitutional amnesty.”

Before you give this idiot credit for creativity though:

You ought, O Catiline President Obama, long ago to have been led to execution defeat by command of the consul your own disdain for the people. That destruction which you have been long plotting against usought to have already fallen on your own head.

Execution? Well, at least he used defeat.

Cicero is viewed as a great Roman leader, a man who has a place in history. Ted Cruz is an imbecile who caused a government shutdown to deny people health insurance. That he wants us to view him as a modern day Cicero is insulting to the legends of ancient times. Only a complete ego-maniac like him could look in the mirror and see Cicero.
