"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

[gogeo]

D@mn straight...that should be obvious to all.

Unless, of course, one worships like a lefty...

[cripplecreek]

That’s because religious freedom is the true target.

[stephenjohnbanker]

PING

[PoloSec]

It may be obvious but there is no other candidate who will say it so clearly and not backtrack when called out on it... oh and he will be called out; probably by one of the wannabees most likely they will all pile on, Cruz will then with a smile slap them all about the head and shoulders.

CRUZ or LOSE 2016!

[Steve_Seattle]

"Cruz later claimed that Solicitor General Donald Verrilli had said during last month’s Supreme Court marriage equality arguments that if marriage equality is legalized nationwide, the IRS will start denying tax-exempt status to churches. (In the exchange Cruz referred to, Verrilli had said nothing of the sort.)"

The author is lying. Verrilli DID say something "of the sort." He did not deny that opposition to gay marriage could affect the tax status of private colleges, and by implication churches as well. He said it was an open issue.

[DaxtonBrown]

“Verrilli had said nothing of the sort”

Verrilli didn’t deny it when posed by the judges. If gay marriage is protected, then churches lose their tax exempt status same as those that are racist.

[Blood of Tyrants]

There is little doubt that once the gaystapo has established gay marriage as a right guaranteed under the Constitution that they will quickly attempt to force churches and clergy to participate in their weddings. When they balk, they will call for their tax exempt status to be removed.

[SECURE AMERICA]

The legitamization of homosexual marriage is a threat to our society and nation. Once you change public opinion and “law” and make one perversion acceptable, someone will move that on to the next perversion and the next and then you start changing what is a crime and what is not. Society fails and America ends.......

[Paulie]

Nobody can tell me Ted Cruz is not head and shoulders above the rest. And I know there are some good ones out there.

[greene66]

Cruz’s ability to fully understand this, along with his complete willingness to loudly and vocally express it, is one of the reasons Cruz is really the only candidate I’m remotely interested in supporting.

Cruz is exactly right. As usual.

[sickoflibs]

RE:”Cruz said that the fights over “religious freedom” laws in Indiana and Arkansas were “heartbreaking” examples of how the Democratic Party has “gotten so extreme and so radical in its devotion to mandatory gay marriage that they’ve decided there’s no room for the religious liberty protected under the First Amendment.”

What fights?

I didn't see any fighting.

I saw a rout, total surrender,.

[Nextrush]

Ted Cruz said what Scott Walker, Jeb Bush and other candidates won’t say about gay marriage.

I have always contended gay marriage is not about gay marriage, I don’t care who gets married to be honest.

But I care about the freedom of speech and religion enshrined in our First Amendment.

They are clearly under attack here as those supporting gay marriage hate religious institutions and people who won’t conform to their views on sexuality and marriage.

The LGBT activists supported by political and business elites will stop at nothing to crush their opponents in the style of brownshirted or redshirted Fascists or Communists of the past.

[MrB]

Close, but not pinpoint accurate.
It’s not a threat to “religious freedom”,
it’s a threat to Christians.

And, that’s actually the primary purpose of it.
The left DOESN’T REALLY CARE ABOUT GAY “MARRIAGE”,
they care about criminalizing Christianity,

and this topic is just the one they’ve found to do it.
If they had to, they’d promote child sacrifice and criminalize opposition,
if it would serve to criminalize Christianity.

[Gator113]

How anyone that considers themselves a real conservative could even consider voting for another candidate is beyond me.

Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.

~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~
