If you are siding with Obama over Cruz you need to do a self-check. You are in the wrong reality.
/////////////////
Actually, Cruz is DE FACTO supporting Obama’s position in Egypt. No: Not according to the letter of the law regarding foreign aid following coups, but — rather — in the bottom line category of who the hell’s side are you on? — that of the lying, murdering, Christian-killing Muslim Brotherhood, or that of the current military-backed Government that has blocked the MB Brotherhood’s power grab and has even promised to rebuild Churches in Egypt that the MB has burned and vandalized in their demonic wrath at having been thwarted?
And, lest you say this is simply an issue for the Egyptians, please think again: The MB has — during the past two administrations — infiltrated the US Government to a shocking degree (something of which most FReepers may not even be aware). This means that, if the Egyptian Government checkmates the MB’s plans for a major power grab in Egypt, then, it is potentially helping reign in the MB’s plans to Islamize the US. (Yes: It CAN happen here.)
I certainly am not advocating US military involvement in Egypt, but I do advocate speaking up for the forces of Liberty, as well on behalf of persecuted Christians.
Here is a link to an piece listing churches burned/vandalized in recent days by the MB in Egypt:

Have you heard either Obama (or his administration) or Cruz speak out on behalf of Egypt’s (or Syria’s) persecuted Christians in recent weeks? Neither have I.
We need to do something better than sending money to untrustworthy “allies”. Obama has been stirring these things up since he took office, going around the globe preaching his phoney narrative, proclaiming the end of a Christian America and supposedly promoting a new relationship with Islam while covertly smuggling arms to dangerous people, and doing so without Congressional authorization.
Sending money and arms to these guys is complete idiocy. The same money and arms will be used not only to kill Coptics but also Americans. Don’t trust that this administration isn’t arming both sides. Look what happened in Beghazi and in Mexico.
If the military-backed regime wants our help, it should take the form of us going in and decimating the enemy. And we should pay for our damage to the Coptics and other Christians there by offering protection, asylum, and financial aid for them to rebuild or relocate. Why not arm the Coptics rather than the military? Why not give aid directly to them?
And whatever action is taken needs to be done legally and constitutionally. It is bad enough when a Republican president pushes the boundraries of executive authority. It is much worse when a Democrat one aspires to operate like a dictator.
I do agree though that bringing the persecution of Christians to light is an important part of fixing the problem. Liberals don’t want this to come out because it will end something they support. They just don’t want it to be known they support it.
