Reg Henry: Ted Cruz and Co. do the time warp again (See where this is going?)
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | April 1, 2015 | Reg Henry

One of America’s unacknowledged problems is the national calendar shortage. It is not a general problem but restricted only to a segment of the population, although an influential one.

Unfortunately, the calendar-challenged group is composed mostly of Republicans. No doubt some Democrats are also a few calendars short of a load and are similarly living in the past, but recent news indicates where the phenomenon has proliferated.

One sign of calendar deficiency is the start of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Canada, the first major candidate to declare, announced his candidacy at Liberty University, Va., which he acknowledged as the largest Christian university in the world. This, of course, served his main purpose.

Mr. Cruz wanted to make abundantly clear that he is running for some high ecclesiastical position. It is apparently not pope, because that job is already filled by someone whose sense of Christian decency is suspiciously liberal in its concern for suffering humanity.

As the leader of a revived Christian America, Mr. Cruz’s idea of suffering humanity would be to make some parts of it suffer some more. For example, he would end what he calls Obamacare now that it has become a godsend to millions of previously uninsured Americans.

As for gay Americans, they would be put in their place, right quick. As president-archbishop-ayatollah and defender of the faith, Mr. Cruz would “uphold the sacrament of marriage,” which assumes that all Americans are married in church and not in town halls or in other secular ceremonies in which sacraments are not part of the deal.

Even a messianic-minded politician ought to know that just because a marriage is between one man and one woman doesn’t make it a sacrament....

Well of course! We’ve had our utterly disastrous jump to the left, now it’s high time for a step to the right.
