I don't buy that, because I don't buy the notion that Ted Cruz is the paladin of evangelical Christians, and thus, to say a word against him is to be persecuting Christians. I think that's a false argument.
It's about the Constitution. Cruzers constantly go on and on and on about how we need Ted Cruz because "he's the only one who cares about the Constitution," and then they turn around and want to sweep his potential ineligibility under the rug because he's their guy.
That's the same thing that Obama's cult followers did in 2008. I'm not interested in latching onto Ted Cruz in some kind of cult of personality.
Sorry, but I post negative things on Cruz. I support him but I’ve been disappointed in things he’s said and done. I also support many of the things said by Donald Trump. In a general way I also agree with many things said by other Republican candidates.
But I don’t for a second - for even the slightest moment - believe that the Washington Post writer here is interested in the law and the truth.
I’ve watched over the years how the media contorts the truth and the law to fit whatever suits the secular humanist agenda, and whatever they can get away with.
Having lived through part of the Cold War era, where free speech was treated as most important because, at least in part, of the ongoing lesson of totalitarian communist societies stifling speech, it’s sobering to see now how much the media and leftists outright craft the news by picking and choosing and spinning, while saying Christians and conservatives live in “fact-free zones.”
And from not infrequently engaging with secular humanists on a variety of subjects over many years now, I’ve slowly become convinced that truth doesn’t matter to them, but instead POWER and IMPOSING what THEY think is right by whatever means necessary.
Real discussion is their enemy.
They will never, ever concede even the smallest point on anything, all the while hostilely smearing you as this or that from the secular humanist narrative on Bible-believing Christians and Republicans.
They don’t want truth, but to WIN, as Bill Clinton famously said.
