"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 modern Democratic Party has become so radical, so extreme that they have determined that their devotion to mandatory gay marriage in all 50 states trumps any allegiance to religious liberty under the First Amendment,” Cruz said at the Family Research Council’s annual pastor retreat in Washington, D.C.”

The Left will make fun of Ted on this one, but he works with DC Democrats everyday, and understands that their intent in to force each American into a state sponsored and federally arranged Gay Marriage.

we have too many vote splitting by intent candidates.

Jindal splits up Louisiana. Huckabee splits the bible thumper voter. Edwards splits the SC vote. Rand paul takes the kook libertarian vote.

Graham splits the gay vote. McCain splits that whackadoodle vote, and the ‘stayed way past my sell-by date’ vote. Jeb and McCain are going to fight hard for those ‘sell-by’ votes.

Way too many are gunning for the ‘quisling’ vote.

I’m afraid we are cruising past the point where the soap box and the ballot box are going to be effective down the road.

He's so right about the left. Got into an argument online with a radical leftist over a story about a church which refused to baptize the child of 2 gay men. This gay agenda has to be forced on everyone at all costs — particularly on Christians and their churches. And the hell with the religious freedom guaranteed under the Constitution.

Yet, I asked the leftist if she would be unhappy if a Muslim congregation rejected the child of homosexual parents. She dodged the question.

Personally, I think the child should be baptized……..the situation she is in is certainly not her fault!

We have too many so-called “moderates” who are Democrats in Disguise. I would like these DD’s to be Dead Ducks in the upcoming election. The Establishment RINO politicians vote for the Democrats and Obama all the time. They need to be thrown out and replaced with true Republicans. What are people doing to make this happen?

I like Bobby Jindal’s ethics.

Give the Muslims would have happily pushed the kid’s gay parents off a cliff, I imagine there was little she Could say!

Glad to know there are folks pushing back. Keep on speaking the truth. That’s good work!

more like our dear Donks view this as the new religion which must be granted all the liberty possible...

mark my words, it knows no gratitude, only self-affirmation, and it will turn on them too, and wouldn’t it be big fat “karma” if it happened about the same time that radical Islam turned on them.

The left doesn’t want gay marriage. The left doesn’t want abortion.

The left wants to break down American values to where a communist push against America meets with less resistance. The gays and abortionistas are just too stupid to realize that.

Not sure if they understand what’s going on, but all they have to do is look at what happens to them in other countries and they will know what will happen to them once the left takes over.

Big Ted's story I'm most interested in hearing is why he voted to fast-track Big Barry's secret TPP bill.

They scream about hate, when they are busy hating.

I could wish they would hail the devil — at least that would be honesty.

Today’s tendency to sound-bite things impoverishes all our understanding. None of this is happening in a vacuum. Issues intertwine in complex tandem. Cruz has not otherwise been one to do something without reasoning through it to the best of his ability, which never extends to personal omniscience. Maybe this maneuver is intended to make it easier to deal with certain other issues down the road, as in giving Barack enough rope to hang himself with.

Which illustrates that the whole “gay rights” thing is nothing but an excuse to attack Christians.

I agree with you. However, every faith has its,rules and often the rules vary between churches within a particular faith.

In my view if these 2 gays want their child baptized, go to another church. Just as there are bakers, florists and other vendors willing to provide services to gays where others won't, there are churches which will baptize that baby. The only reason there is such a controversy is because these radicals want to force their way of life on everyone. Has nothing really to do with that baby. Sorry, gays, but your “rights” are not more important than the rights of others.

Going to a compliant church wouldn’t serve the purpose.
They intentionally seek out those that won’t comply
to make them do so.

The mosque is not on her hate-list, why should she care :-)
