[Elyse]

I am so sick of seeing Ted Cruz demeaned on this website. We would be a blessed nation to have this Christian man be our leader. When I see people using his faith to ridicule him on this site , that I have always been so proud to be a part of, it really shakes me up. I feel like God has cast a pearl among the swine and we are watching them trample on it.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Like Beck demeaned Trump’s beliefs on behalf of Cruz ? .. How about Cruz bearing false witness upon Carson ? ...it’s getting nasty and Cruz/Beck/Levin started it all ...

[RginTN]

in a way this is a positive. trump has revealled the seeds who fell by the way side (Matthew 13:4)

Watch this FAuxNews segment from last night and tell me what you think after watching. I am a solid Trump supporter that started as a Teddy Bare!

[The Unknown Republican]

I am taking names, and I will be throwing it back in every single one of their faces once Trump proves to be the charlatan he is. Trump supporters are selling Conservatism down the drain.

[TerrisFriend]

These trumpbots who are demeaning Senator Cruz on every thread will NOT succeed. They are snakes coming out of the walls of FR—evil and loathsome. They know that Donald Trump could not lead 14,000 Christians in sincere prayer and Christian testimony. In response they are lashing out wildly at true Christianity and God’s Son, Jesus Christ by hating one of His children, Ted Cruz. Again, they will not succeed!

When I see people using his faith to ridicule him on this site

You got it all wrong. He deserves ridicule for trying to use faith as a political tool. This is a most vile act to go to a Christian concert just to say the opening prayer and receive the adoration of the masses which will be reported in the papers the next day.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9

[True-Stu]

I completely agree Elyse. I have stayed away from most political discussions this year on FR because of the vitriol and invectives being freely hurled by one group of candidate supporters against another. A while back, I thought the offenses were pretty much equal across the board, but in recent months there has been a steady increase in the offenses made by the Trump supporters. I don’t know why this is, but I suspect that the most prolific of them have a desire to emulate their candidate. In my opinion that reflects character that is crude, immature and lacking understanding of the work of the holy spirit in a believer’s life.

This bears repeating.....

Elyse, I am in complete agreement with you. I often think I’m on the wrong website. I can’t believe the all the name calling and false accusations directed toward Ted Cruz.

[Old Yeller]

Yep.

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
John 15:18-19 (NIV)

[spacejunkie2001]

amen Elyse. Free Republic has REALLY changed. I honestly thought this was a solidly conservative site and now, nothing but bitterness and vitriole towards a really conservative candidate such as Ted Cruz.

Beyond sad to watch.
