when you have the guts to take a traditional firm for freedom position and conservatism --- Cruz simply touted principles and values that Americans have held since the founding of the Republic: The American exceptionalism, freedom, hard work, God and country. --- Inspires people to be the best they can be American Thinker, by Lloyd Marcus
I was terrified at first when I read that Cruz asked churches to reinforce what marriage really is. Even I was indoctrinated by the left to think that religion should never be mentioned in a political race. But now I realize I was wrong. Go for it!!
This was NEVER supposed to be an atheist nation. It was a Christian nation that tolerated other religions. More in line with Israel.
Now it is an abomination and Cruz can bring us back to where we need to be.
Welcome to FR. Why did you decide to join and post?
I say “toward” because no man can entirely reverse in four or eight years what took our nation a hundred years to achieve.
Obama has gathered arbitrary, despotic powers into the executive branch. IOW, the precedent of tyranny has been established.
Of course, no one expects anything but exemplary behavior from a Cruz administration. The problem is that like it or not, our government runs on precedent far more than the rule of the supreme law of the land, our constitution.
Ultimately, unless our governing institutions are reformed simultaneously with a Cruz presidency, subsequent presidents will have Obama’s despotic powers. Whatever Cruz does will be a flash in the pan, a nostalgic few years for conservatives, much like those of Ronaldus Magnus.
My hope is for Cruz to blow the doors off standard presidential campaigns, and announce his support for an Article V state convention to return to a senate of the states and restore vertical separation of powers.
The libs revere diversity of everything but thought.
I have no problem with that... :-)
Great post. I can see where the strength of the president under this monster has grown into a behemoth. If we get Cruz, that would be great but then another monster could win in eight years. You are right. Lets put the power back where it belongs!!
I stand with Ted
Even Penn Jillett?
Atheists can never be trusted to follow Judeo-Christian morals & values that America was founded.
The fact they reject God, the source of ALL freedoms & rights, speaks volumes of their inner core and true intellect.
Hysteria over Cruz -from both parties- has become a parody of itself... like a jealous sibling having inexplicable tantrums, who would take such dubious ‘commentary’ seriously anymore, they’re making asses of themselves
“Welcome to FR. Why did you decide to join and post?”
Maybe because nobody signs up until they want to post and everybody has a first post.
We were all babies at some point
Amen.
Freedom of Religion was never meant to mean that it was NOT to be mentioned in public.
And I carry a little Constitution/Declaration of Independence (stuck in my holster!) around with me just to prove certain things when the discussion comes up.

I mean...I am not a Constitutional Scholar, but I can read.
LOL!
Should read "Right to Rule the Internet". That's what they want.
Indeed!
But it was a partial list! hahaha
From Federalist 84 (Hamilton):
I go further and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and to the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed Constitution but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and, on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted.
He was half-right.
There should have been a bill of limitations and enumerated rights.
Sadly, Amendment IX opens the door for more claims of “rights.”
At one point in Wayne’s World (the movie), they are trying their schtick of “homosezwhut” on Christopher Walken and he’s not falling for it, and in fact, he calls them on exactly what they are doing. They cower in fear.
This is what Cruz is doing to the left and the MSM.
They only “revere diversity” because it dilutes the Christian/Western influence in our culture.
I hear you.
By enumerating the Rights and defining them, it leaves the door open to create more.
Human Nature, I guess.
