"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The notion that all who believe in a Creation by God are Young Earth Creationists is just plain silly.

Creationism can range all the way from believing that God pushed the button that initiated the Big Bang, and has stayed out of the way since, to the Young Earth types.

Something you never hear about in this regard. It is official government policy that the “Origin Stories” of Native Americans be treated with the utmost respect, despite the fact some of them are a lot sillier than the Genesis account. Jeering at them in this way could probably get you fired.

So on what basis is it OK to jeer at the beliefs of a much larger number of Americans? Why can’t we respect the beliefs of others?

I’m not a Young Earth Creationist, but I respect those who are.

The only proof the Huff Post gives that Cruz is (1) Religious and (2) he announced his run at the presidency at Liberty University which has a web site saying that they are young earthers.
