Rafael Cruz, Ted Cruz's father, has got it right. This stuff just rolled off his tongue with no hesitation (he hasn't been homogenized and sifted by the political experts and advisers). IMO, he says it better than his son Ted. I wish this guy was running for President.

- Moral and ethical values are being destroyed over the last 50 years

- Religious liberty under attack

- Right to Life under attack (ex. Planned Parenthood)

- Traditional marriage under attack

- We need to get back to the Biblical foundations of America (personal acknowledgment of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ – the foundation of a free and peaceful individual life specifically and society in the aggregate)

- We need to get back to the Constitutional foundations of America (the key to political freedom)

- Hard work, individual responsibility, honesty, integrity, the rule of law, free enterprise, limited government

I heard him yesterday. It was kinda funny because he wasn’t sure who he would vote for. He did say that he liked his son but not sure who he would vote for in the primary and general. I thought it was unbelievably hilarious. He is no Barbara Bush that is for sure.

So glad I don’t live in Iowa and have to endure what surely is endless bombardment of political ads this weekend.

- Religious liberty under attack
Like Islam and Muslim? Be careful where you go with that chest pounding Ted. You may have to eat those words someday.

The Constitutional foundation of America is America first... like what is best for our 'general Welfare', so where's that? Why don't we pull the religion out of the discourse (just the discourse Mkay) and zero in on what's missing here.

I agree with the lack of morals and that religious liberty is under attack. But, wait a minute... what is really destroying the country, right now, at this moment? Again, just for discussion, let's take out the Constitution (and even some correspondence from the founding fathers) and try to get the ship going in the right direction. Maybe, just maybe can we leave for now (the discussion ) of everything else for prayer meeting on Wednesday and Service on Sunday.

Because honestly, I don't see anything in Rafael's missive that digs into what critical issues are killing the country: globalism and open borders... and that is at the core of the context of the Constitution to provide for the 'Welfare' of the citizens.

Traditional marriage is not under attack.

There is no need to put such an adjective as “traditional” before marriage, which truly is a union between one man and one woman in Western society.

One problem is the handing out of benefits to people not subjecting themselves to the expensive risks of childbearing.

States have no possible gain by officially recognizing a relationship between two men.

Another problem is the state level sanctioning of unhealthy sexual activity, further compounded by unjustified court decisions with respect to the matter.

We need to get the mooching under control.

We need to limit moochers and their supporters to well under 50% of the voting base.

We need to constitutionally limit income transfers by number of total recipients and percentage of GDP.

We need to limit taxation, income shifting and subsidies at all levels.

At the New Beginnings Church in Irving, Texas, in August 2012, Cruz delivered a sermon where he described his son’s senatorial campaign as taking place within a context where Christian “kings” were anointed to preside over an “end-time transfer of wealth” from wicked people to the righteous. Cruz urged the congregation to “tithe mightily” to achieve that result. During an interview conducted by the Christian Post in 2014, Cruz stated, “I think we cannot separate politics and religion; they are interrelated. They’ve always been interrelated.” Salon described Cruz as a “Dominionist, devoted to a movement that finds in Genesis a mandate that ‘men of faith’ seize control of public institutions and govern by biblical principle.”
