Ted Cruz: Dems Waging ‘War on the Catholic Church’

(Breitbart) – In the second part of an exclusive interview with Breitbart News after the public grand opening of his Houston presidential campaign headquarters, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told Breitbart News that the modern Democratic Party is “so radicalized and so extreme” that it won’t stand up for the most basic tenets of the U.S. Constitution, including religious liberty as afforded by the First Amendment.

“I’m proud that the state of Indiana stood to defend religious liberties,” Cruz said in the interview, which took place before the state of Indiana backed down to the institutional left’s calls for changes to its Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

SPECIAL: Modern Day Patriots, this is the time to stand shoulder to shoulder with our forefathers in Lexington and Concord. We need the Tea Party now more than ever.

The vilification and attacks that have been levied against Indiana and Gov. Pence in particular have been abominable. It is a sad statement of just how far we have come. It was not too long ago when there was widespread bipartisan agreement in support of defending religious liberties.

Unfortunately, the modern Democratic Party has become so radicalized and so extreme that religious liberty is now deemed in conflict with the interests of the Democratic Party. Just two decades ago, Congress nearly virtually unanimously passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It was signed into law by a Democrat, Bill Clinton. Yet today, when Indiana passes nearly identical legislation, it is the subject of unfair attacks and vilification.

Cruz said the reasoning behind the viciousness and hate from far leftwing liberals against people in Indiana and Gov. Pence in particular is because of the Democratic Party’s commitment to the far leftwing liberal agenda, after previously supporting more moderate positions in recent years.

"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

Obama and the left are waging war on all of Christianity.

[txhurl]

I bet only 20% of Dem voters know their party voted three times to remove God from their platform at their last Convention.

[don-o]

Is that the sound of heads exploding in the Religion Forum that I just heard?

[SMCC1]

Smart move by Ted to mention the Catholic Church among other Christians. There are a lot of JP11 Catholics (as I call them...and call myself I guess) that would identify with what he’s saying.

[don-o]

Very smart. The man is a maestro with perfect pitch. Now, if the Bishops will heed the warning from a Baptist...

[berdie]

I’ll agree.

Not only did they vote for that...they booed any mention of God.

Scary stuff.

“far leftwing liberal agenda”

True, but it is NOT liberal. It is National Socialist. The new Nazi party in the United States.

Someone better MAY come along but as things stand now, he has mine too!

When even the Sisters of the Poor have to go to court to be exempted from having to provide birth control and abortifacients for their employee’s healthcare, yes, there is a war on the Catholic Church.

[SmokingJoe]

Ted Cruz is really the only guy who is telling it like it is, and calling out the extreme left wing radicalization of the Democratic Party. The GOPe? They just sit down and let the lamestream media and Democrats like Charles Schumer label Republicans as “far right” without hitting go back at them.

[thesligoduffyflynns]

I think it’s very good for Ted Cruz to start naming names within religious groups but the Catholic Church embraces dollars & dineros & holds very liberal views on immigration laws under “sympathy,love & compassion”& amnesty & open borders in the US

Catholic Chuch will take advantage of those $$’s to keep their scam going.

Scam? Show me a bishop , archbishop , or Cardinal that is supportive & endorses LEGAL immigration to the US.

Let’s hope there are a lot ticked off catholics who get off of the Democrat plantation and soon.

[Jim from C-Town]

20% of Democrats are so stupid they don’t realize that FDR and JFK are both dead and aren’t the same person.
