Cruz on Apple CEO Tim Cook being gay: 'Personal decision'
The Hill ^ | October 30, 2014 | Peter Sullivan

Posted on 10/30/2014 12:23:27 PM PDT by BurningOak

"Those are his personal choices. I’ll tell you, I love my iPhone," Cruz said.

"Listen, Tim Cook makes his personal decisions, and that is his life. My focus is on the constitutional question of who has the authority to make decisions," he later added.

Cruz said that marriage is a "question for the states" because of the country's federalist system.

"This is something we’ve seen over and over again, which is the federal government and federal courts deciding they don’t trust the people," Cruz said. "They look down on the people, they don’t trust us to make judgments about our own lives, so the federal government and federal courts are going to step in and impose their own policy preferences."

It’s his business, too bad he didn’t keep it that way. Now I feel free to make fun of him.

I guess I’ll have to find a brown case for my iPhone.

Tim “Faggot” Cook apparently thinks that his customers will care ... and that their impression of him will be more favorable.

"He brings it back to issues that people actually care about"

So the homosexual agenda isn't an issue that "BurningOak" actually cares about? "Burning" is apt for you or will be.

Jesus Christ himself wouldn't be a pure enough candidate for some of you.

I have to agree. Even Jesus was discerning enough to recognize the face of Caesar on a coin when he saw it.

“Brilliant response to a gotcha question by hostile media.”

Not really, because marriage has legal implications and people move around to much. The Feds need to refuse to acknowledge queer marriage in any form.

If left to the states the courts will ram it down our throats. No way will they settle for queers being married in one state, and not in another.

It was bought and sold to many bidders, long before Tim Cook was ever a factor at Apple.

This post my friends is why democrats keep winning election after election.

Democrats keep winning elections because people get the leaders they deserve -- God sees to it.

And as long as so many voters like you and the OP deny God and His Commandments the pattern will continue.

Cruz was not mocking God, I think he was mocking the media

Homosexuality is a sick perversion. Even Cruz is cowed. Our leaders are gutless.

All sin is a personal choice. Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, what is your sin of choice?

How many RINO’s would refuse to follow Jesus because he wasn’t popular with the masses or the elite?

“Would you be comfortable going to a Gay wedding?”

It's so sad, remember when all weddings were gay weddings, before the queers co opted the word?

How do you know if G-d is offended? Does he speak to you directly?

Golly gee, I have a feeling Jesus wouldn’t be good enough for you. He did hang around with the unclean and loved them unlike you.

If we run another candidate like a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney, we will end up with the same result, which is millions of people will stay home on Election Day, Cruz then said.

He added that they were all good, honorable men.

I like Cruz. I just wish he would have left that out. We talk about them not being who we should have running, and then confuse things by saying they're good honorable men. If they are good honorable men, why shouldn't they run?

This confuses the general public. It's a mistake to characterize them in this manner. Just refuse to categorize them once you've said they shouldn't run, unless you want to reinforce why.

It is a personal choice so, why not keep that choice of

behavior to himself? Oh, he supports homosexual marriage.


He didn’t say that.

You would probably not vote for Cruz, anyhow.
