Exactly.
Meeting with these guys was fine, they’re all about defense and Israel. But frankly, this particular venue was probably a mistake. It received notoriety a while back because the owner had wild parties, one in which a guy was found dead in the bathtub. Ultimately, no criminality was found—but, have to think there was a better place to meet.
Yep, sure would be nice. I’m afraid that the only person who can do that successfully is the Good Lord.
So?
“Leftists really do not understand the concept of love the sinner and hate the sin.”
They understand it very well, but the concept flies directly agains their agenda of destruction, so they ignore it and act as if it does not exist.
“ALINSKY RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.”
There is an Alinski corollary to that rule:
Never worry about your own rules; do whatever it takes to gain power.
These rules only work when you have a friendly media. That is what Alinski took for granted. That state still mostly exists; but there is a small amount of new media that now contests the domination by the old media.
Yes. Like a regular public rally location or a good restaurant or whatever. We agree. Thanks
This is called The Left Being Stupid Again.
To all anti Ted Cruz trolls: pay attention here. You will learn something.
It wasn't a mistake unless you really believe the lies of the media.
Concern trolls will be concerned.

Yes, he most definitely is afraid of you.
Ok. Well, Jesus visited Hell, so.....
I think the thing to do with this incident is to watch what he does with it.
Agreed.
When I ran for the California Assembly I got endorsed by the Log Cabin Republican club.
I told them that I despised their lifestyle but that I wouldn’t sponsor or vote for any legislation that aided their cause but neither would I sponsor or vote for any legislation against them.
Providing they didn’t push themselves on the straight community.

An interesting person.
Typical bogus paraphrase from NYT saying Cruz said “he would have no problem” if a daughter were gay when in fact he said he would love her just as much. That’s not the same thing.
My wife and I are militant social conservatives
In 2005 we welcomed a dying from AIDs homosexual into our care and provided for him till he went to hospice 10 months later
He was a family friend and a Belle Meade dandy but no one else would take him
He rightly suspected folks with a trust in Christ would....even though we have a house full of kids....he called me one night at 2am on the street in downtown Nashville right after my 2nd in 11 months open heart crying after having been mugged
He had AIDs dementia....infected his brain stem
Onyx you may remember this....a lot of folks here and all of klown posse ridiculed me for this
Both my wife and momma had known him decades and mother helped us with it financially
Cruz attempting dialogue with right wing homosexuals is courageous
And we detest homosexual activism and all that entails
I also have two lesbican aunts who were abused and molested as young girls
I get on warmly with them and they are very socially conservative and church going
But they think queer nation activism is shameful
What would Dick Cheney do?
Re: “. . . loving the sinner is nowhere in the Bible.”
The whole mission and ministry of Jesus was about loving the sinner to save us from the destruction of our sin. I think you misunderstand the premise of the New Testament.
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in tha while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
