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.

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”.

So he just flat out lied about the language in that treaty?
I'm all for that, I think there's still plenty of room for settlement in the Gobi desert.
They sure are coming out of the woodwork on Ted.
Imagine choosing a place for your campaign announcement that is -—OH MY GOD—Christian?!!!!!
Better yet, send them to the Atacama desert.
Forbes=RINORINORINO!
Not that that surprises anybody or anything.
It’s not violence against Cruz that I’m worried about.
If the left sees it’s power slipping, cities will be burning and there will be random terrorist attacks.
Not that simple. Because they're the party of bigger government, the government apparatchicks especially the armed bureaucrats will support them. For that matter how many freepers thought Tim McVeigh was a hero?
Objections like this make me love him more.
he told the rest to basically go to hell
Shortly after he assumed office he had some Republicans to the White House to “discuss” the economic problems. He cut one off saying, “I’m going to trump you, I won, we aren’t going to do it that way.”
No wonder Forbes Magazine has been offering subscriptions for $10. Steve Forbes ought to be ashamed of himself employing a commie puke to bash Cruz. Ungar couldn’t shine Cruz’ shoes.
I report. You decide. ;-)
Actually it doesn't appear that he lied exactly. More like he told a half-truth because the whole truth would have blown his argument to smithereens.
Last year he announced he was the president of the people who didn’t vote.
It looks to me like that language was thrown in there to pacify the Muslims we needed to help defeat the Barbary pirates. Obviously those fanatics wouldn’t have been able to sign anything without that.
Meanwhile, we still have the preamble and the Bill of Rights. I think those are more definitive than a practical treaty to fight piracy.
“If the left can’t keep it’s power the left will turn to violence.”
How? They don’t own any guns.
They don’t have any children
They have no military experience
So what are they going to do?
Boycott Fox News
They most the rich guilty whites can do stage a riot where they break windows in the Apple Store or Starbucks.
What a putz. Ungar, not you. I couldn’t get past the first page.
Don’t kid yourself.
You get rioting in the cities and terrorist attacks from foreign terrorist along with the rioting you will have troops in the streets and not the state National Guard.
You get some militant group, illegals for example, teamed with foreign terrorist, that is an act of war and the federal govt/troops takes charge.
Amen. I would like to add that if the various non-Christians libtards don’t like it here they are free to go anywhere in the world. Might I suggest the muslim middle east where your perversions would be immediately dealt with.
