CRUZ or LOSE!Posted on 04/02/2015 11:12:56 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
No one can have a doubt about where Ted Cruz stands on the controversy swirling around Indiana’s Restoration of Religious Freedom Act.
He made it crystal clear Wednesday night.
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
And in the process the Texas senator called out Republican politicians and the executives of Fortune 500 companies that he said have been running scared from the issue of religious freedom in the face of relentless attacks from the left under the guise of gay rights.
“Religious liberty is not some fringe view. It is the basis of this country,” Cruz said during a town hall meeting in Sioux City, Iowa, a crucial stop in his campaign to win the Republican nomination for president.
That view has changed, and Cruz told the crowd why he thinks that happened.
“Unfortunately the modern Democratic Party has elevated extreme partisanship and in particular this is all part and parcel over the fight over gay marriage,” he said. “
“And because of their partisan desire to mandate gay marriage everywhere in this country, they also want to persecute anyone that has a good faith religious belief that marriage is a holy sacrament between the union of one man and one woman and ordained as a covenant by God.”
But Cruz didn’t stop at Democrats.
Big business, he said, has “been running shamelessly to endorse the radical gay marriage agenda over religious liberties ….”
“Sadly, a whole lot of Republican politicians are terrified of this issue,” Cruz said.
Clearly, he isn’t one of them.
“Lashes out”. No bias in that headline.
Cruz just won my vote!
Cruz just won my vote!
Speaking truth like this will win him many hearts of voters, but few from the GOPe or Democrat politicians.
I’m liking this more and more!
If a religious Muslim Halal butcher named Mohammed refuses to slaughter Billy Bob’s pig named Jehosephat, should the Government have the power to permanently shut down Mohammed’s Halal Butchery without giving him an opportunity to defend his position in court?
Ted is the only R primary candidate who can speak coherently, forcefully and persuasively on controversial social issues. Period.
He is a once-in-a-generation candidate.
We have our opportunity. Let’s take it.
Ted knows who all would never vote for him, and the leaders of these people are his targets, who are trying to shoot him down first.
Correct. Cruz always has a reasonable tone but the headline says he’s “lashing out.” Look for that exaggeration to continue.
No, the left wants to persecute ANYONE that doesn’t believe in THEIR religion, Liberalism. Christians are just the highest value target.
I’ll quote myself (in support of your post)
“Liberalism” is the political expression
of the religion of Humanism,
which began with the lie
“you will be as gods, knowing good and evil” for yourselves.
CRUZ or LOSE! Small correction. ;~)
His courage and honesty is refreshing.
The one thing that they will not tolerate is any rational dissent from their social agenda.
The answer, of course, is to uncover their mental processes, which are entirely involved in the pursuit of what they wish was reality, rather than what actually is.
the media has not used the “firebrand” buzzword in over two days.....
firebrand...lashing out
there will be others that are put into Rotataion soon Im sure
LOL...He had my vote at Green Eggs and Ham.
UNIPARTY Ping.
All the f***ing Libertarians care about is weed.
They have the Microphones, Cameras, Transmitters, Satellites, Academia, most of the Government, and most Billionaires.
They will spread the impression that we are small and weak, and can be easily overwhelmed, just as they are doing now. But you know Psyops, and that's what we are dealing with currently.
If they want to support the left's cultural agenda, kick 'em in the nuts.
I like it. Go a little "Oliver Cromwell" on their @$$es. Say what you want about tactics, but "vicious" usually wins in the long run.
