Since Cruz cited the fact that SCOTUS and this government is lawless, the idea that we can pass MORE LAWS that they will just ignore, render invalid and strike down is ridiculously absurd.

The LAWLESS will not be moved by MORE LAWS.

What is so hard to understand about that fact?

You cannot restrain tyrants via civil means in a society that is no longer civil, or religious or moral.

Why not do something NOW to bring back the
Constitution and justice?

Encourage the House to Impeach.

And begin Congressional arrests for lying
to Congress — starting with the IRS and Clinton.

The only possible good I can see coming from this is if the SoCons finally realize that things have finally gotten real; the election is not about who will preside over the church picnic but who will save the country; and Ted is the only hope.

This is Ted Cruz at his finest.

Anyone that can’t see Ted Cruz as our next President must be blind or living under a rock.

Cruz is not endorsing a Convention of the States, but he's warning Congress that one will inevitably happen if it doesn't rein in judicial activism.

How is tyranny to be restrained?

Wow! That’s the best I’ve felt in 2 days.
He really does get it.
Ted has got to pull a Reagan, and get messages like this past the MSM, and to the people.
We need to get this out there.

I wish Cruz well on the quest. The outrage over this D.C. doubleheader of nonsense could indeed propel him into the White House.

But politics alone cannot solve an issue fundamentally anchored in the spiritual. The people of the country are going to have to turn back to God from the world/flesh/devil system that rules their hearts now, before blessings rather than curses will be attracted to the country.

Cruz is an open gospel booster. I hope that is not just a vain decoration on his campaign.

“The LAWLESS will not be moved by MORE LAWS.”

So your remedy would apparently be civil war.

Hey, I think I will stick with Cruz.

I’ve heard differently that he supports COS. Maybe his official endorsement hasn’t been made yet but in my thinking he’s not at all opposed to COS.

The same way tyranny is always restrained.

There is no exception in human history to that remedy.

C’mon blowhard. Be specific. What is to be done to restore liberty?

I like it. It is worth a try. Nothing else seems to be working...

Fleshly humans tend to underplay how faith has taken a role in that.

Even the British domination ended up being more easily thrown off because, at root, they were Christian too. I am not sure the Revolutionary War would have ended up as easily (if at all) had the colonies been trying to separate from an Islamic regime.

I really hope Tex Cruze can pull this off. It may stave off the second admendment kickback.

Public bookmark. Masterful piece written by a man America desperately needs to lead her.

I wonder what will happen to our right to practice our
Christian religion under the first Amendment?
