Ted Cruz to introduce constitutional amendment on gay marriage after Supreme Court ducks appeals

I think you grossly underestimate the opposition to homo marriage. Don’t believe the media lies.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

I think you grossly underestimate how difficult it is (by design) to pass & ratify a Constitutional amendment.

[Hostage]

You haven’t even seen the proposed amendment and you are posting as if you’re reviewed and analyzed it! TROLL!

Ted Cruz has orders of magnitude more knowledge and experience of the US Constitution and its history than nearly anyone alive especially including TROLLS like you! He would never be so ignorant as you deem him based on a proposal you haven’t even seen!

Cruz specifically pointed to the abuse of the 14th amendment that some of the current and former members of the SCOTUS have committed in stretching its history and intent. It is near certain he intends to write a proposed amendment that curtails rulings based on the 14th.

Your “basic reality” is a fantasy in your own head...or at best in the echo chamber with your faggy friends.

[Hostage]

You’re spot on about the lies. The Left is joined at the hip with the homosecual fascists. They are indeed a small group using media amplification to make themselves appear to an enormous group as was recently discovered with the special tweet software that created huge traffic from a tiny group.

The propaganda is part of the war on traditional society.

[lonevoice]

Interesting strategy.

>> the war on traditional society.

Good characterization.

Ping!

I have two emails in my inbox right now, dated September 30th, from Ted Cruz raising money for the National Republican Congressional Committee on behalf of "Mitt Romney for President". I assume that the NRCC is using Romney's mailing list from 2012 to help raise money for establishment GOP-e politicians.

This is the exact same NRCC that withholds funds from candidates if they don't toe the GOP-e line, and support John Boehner. That is who Cruz is raising cash for. I find that insulting.

NRCC Withholds Funds After Marilinda Garcia (NH-02) Says She May Not Vote for Boehner http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3211860/posts

So you know what you can do with your exclamation points and screaming "TROLL!" like a small child?

I do not support the GOP-e. Not in any way shape or form. My family does not send money to the "insiders" who are working to negotiate away Conservative values.

You can cry "TROLL!" till doomsday, but I guarantee you this: Nothing at all will come of Cruz's weird, convoluted plan to get around a clause that predates the actual Constitution, and which was written by the Founders not once, but at least twice, because it was so critically important. It is there because it is supposed to be there. The way around the Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers is not some weirdo amendment.

Here is the body of the email if you'd like to see it: http://www.teapartynation.com/forum/topics/look-the-gop-actually-speaks?commentId=3355873%3AComment%3A2931791

Maybe you think joining the GOP-e in another round of same-old, same-old is a stellar plan. That is your privilege. I won't be doing the same.

Oh, and just so you'll know: the NRCC & Boehner, with help from Ted Cruz are out doing heavy-duty fundraising and spending for openly gay candidates, including candidates who openly support gay marriage.

http://thehill.com/homenews/house/219754-boehner-rakes-in-cash-for-openly-gay-republican

Conservative groups including the Family Research Council and National Organization for Marriage fired off a letter last week to Boehner, National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Greg Walden (Ore.) and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) chiding them for backing DeMaio and Tisei, as well as Senate hopeful Monica Wehby (Ore.), who supports gay marriage.

If this is where you feel you need to tell me how we have to compromise our values to get along, don't even bother.

Somebody is trolling, but it ain't me.

Please see my post at 49 for references.

Ted Cruz is currently doing fund raising for the NRCC, which is doling out cash to openly gay candidates who are supporting gay marriage as part of their platform. They’ve been doling out the cash publicly in this way since at least last year, and Boehner has made very public statements about making inroads with women, minorities and gays. There is no way Cruz doesn’t know this, yet he’s fund raising for the very people who are run against what he says is a critical moral issue.

I find this disingenuous in the extreme. A circuitous way around the Constitution will never work, and he has to know that.

This is dismaying :(

Bump!

This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written:

“ For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,
even the SOULS that commit them
SHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people. ”

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

Someone once asked

"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.


Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.




2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

[IronJack]

More difficult than getting the American public to accept that buggery is the moral equivalent of marriage?

[IronJack]

Exactly. We must never be daunted by the Enemy’s lies or his (fictional) numbers. Right is right, ever and unchanging.

Hey Troll, give it up it won’t work.

Post your two emails from Ted Cruz from the NRSC to this thread and I’ll get Senator Cruz’ office to respond today.

Do it.

Screen captures of the first email, with the title of “All out War”.

The second email has the exact same text, but the title is “The Cause of Liberty”. I am not posting it because it is repetitive. They were both sent by the NRCC, both were signed by Ted Cruz, and both are using Mitt Romney’s 2012 email list (see third picture).

Other people have received the same email. I posted a link to one recipient yesterday, and here is another: http://knappster.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-question-for-us-senator-ted-cruz.html There are more, if you bother to look.

Ted Cruz is also listed on the NRCC website, and if you look at the NRCC Facebook page cache, you will find Ted Cruz featured on September 30th. See the address below or my fourth screen capture.

Since you love childish name calling, I’m assuming you are too immature to apologize for calling me a troll. That’s okay. I have never needed the approval of people who resort to name calling because they can’t handle facts.

Just know that Ted Cruz shills for the NRCC, and that he’s raising cash for people who are running on a platform of legalizing what Cruz says he hates.

[highball]

You’re the one in the “echo chamber”, my FRiend, if you can’t see how badly we’re losing the American public on this one. We’ve lost the last four elections, and even in conservative states polls are tied at best. Pretending otherwise only hurts us further.

Facing uncomfortable facts head-on is a conservative value. We’re strong enough to take it, or at least we should be.
