Ted Cruz's Announcement Disrespects The Founding Fathers, American Tradition And Non-Christians
Forbes ^ | March 24, 2015 | Rick Ungar

Posted on 03/25/2015 3:57:36 AM PDT by Zakeet

Somewhere along the way, I picked up the notion that when someone announces their candidacy for the Office of President of the United States, they are announcing their intent and desire to be the president of all Americans, irrespective of race, religion or other considerations.

As a result of this tradition—and while recognizing that such an announcement does, in the reality of our times, serve as the launching point for the grueling primary gauntlet most candidates will be forced to endure—the moment of tossing one’s hat into the ring has, without exception so far as I can tell, traditionally taken place on ‘neutral’ territory designed to convey commitment to the civic interest rather than religious belief.

[Snip]

Apparently, Texas Senator and newly announced candidate for the Republican Party’s nomination, Ted Cruz, has little use for this important American tradition.

Yesterday, the Tea Party favorite chose a location to announce his quest for the presidency that has, so far as I can ascertain, never been chosen before in our nation’s history—a religious institution that, according to it’s own description, offers “a world-class Christian education” for the purpose of “training champions for Christ”.

Us libtards don't like Ted Cruz because he's too Christian ... too patriotic ... too American ... too conservative ... and too smart!

Another moonbat heard from. Liberals fear truth, honesty, hard work, the constitution and people who both think and act.

Would you like some cheese with your whine, Mr. Ungar?

Sheesh!

Have to admit though — win or lose, this election is going to be fun just to watch the libs wail and gnash their teeth.

Translated from LESBONICS into the ENGLISH LANGUAGE:

Somewhere along the way, I picked up the notion that when someone announces HIS candidacy for the Office of President of the United States, HE IS announcing HIS intent and desire to be the president of all Americans, irrespective of race, religion or other considerations.

LOL. Thank you for posting his photo.
I thought I recognized the name, but wasn’t sure.
Now I won’t bother to read his venom.

One thing's for certain... love him or hate him, after this week, everyone in the U.S. will know who Mr. Cruz is.

And you can thank the liberal moonbat media for doing all the hard work. Nice.

The left suddenly cares about disrespecting the founding fathers and American tradition? Next they will pretend to care about the Constitution.

Fun?

This is when the left is most dangerous.

If the left can’t keep it’s power the left will turn to violence.

Zakeet, go screw yourself.

You and the other libtards will start attacking him over everything from his eating habits to his shoe style. This campaign is about the survival of America, not the trivial crap you will be flinging. Cruz is light years ahead of the inept, treasonous, malevolent bastard who was elected President two times in a row. HE has NO PROBLEM pandering to a violent, troublesome religious minority of a religious minority.

So, go stuff it. I am cancelling my subscription to your rag today.

Liberals are guilt ridden on many fronts. They hate Christians so much because it is the Christian and Christian symbols that remind them of their sinfulness.

Just a guess, but I don’t think Zakeet was saying those things himself. I think he was captioning the picture of the libtard writer of this article.

“Forbes—A once great financial publication rendered useless by the infection of liberalism.”

My thoughts exactly. Very disappointing.
