"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."

Yes, just because he didn’t fall for a media trick doesn’t mean he agrees with the left.
I disagree with this theory. For most of this country's existence, the sentiments expressed in that post were perfectly reasonable.
No, the reason we keep losing elections (apart from the fraud) is the fact that the public has been drastically misled by people whom they do not realize have an agenda.
Everything you see and hear on television or in the movies is filtered through Liberal Democrat Union members with an agenda. They promote ideas they like (Gay everything!) and they oppose ideas they don't like. (constraints on abortion.)
They cover up facts about their candidates (Obama knew and worked with Bill Ayers for more than a Decade) and they make up allegations about their opponents. (She can see Russia from her house.)
The reason we lose elections is because the American public has been deliberately misinformed and misled by people whom they turn to for news and entertainment.
When you suggest that we lose because our opinions are too extreme, you neglect to note that we have not changed our opinions. They are the same as they were a hundred years ago, and this notion that fundamental truths must give way to whatever happens to be popular nowadays is very foolish advice. No, there is nothing wrong with our opinions, what is wrong is that society has been made stupider by government run school systems, and it has been misinformed by Liberal run News and Entertainment systems.
The solution is to address the actual problem; Liberal control of News and Entertainment.
We need to destroy their monopoly.
Pretty straightforward that if the Creator condemns an act and says don't do it and an actor disobeys, the Author of the commandment will be offended (and angry). Are you homosexual?
Get real. Jesus didn’t affirm people in their sin; he called them to repentance.
And Jesus didn’t “hang around” with anyone. He wasn’t a hippie slacker; he was on a mission.
To love someone is to desire his good, and to promote it even when that good entails radical personal change — not to murmur soothing lies that you’re fine the way you are.
Your understanding of love as a sentiment is disordered.
Your “feelings” are invalid.
So we should concede to the homosexual agenda?
Nothing I disagree with in your post. Totally with you.
Why you do! You just don't know it yet.
You will be made to care. You will not be permitted to refrain from caring. The Gaystapo will keep hammering on you until you absolutely care.
Tolerance is not acceptable. You must be an advocate, or you will be punished.
People who care when G_d is offended.<-b>

Doesn't exactly look like he is taking it out on Apple does he? What exactly does G_d do to a corporation when it's CEO is gay? Punish every straight employee?
Non sequitur from anything I said.
No worries. It’s hard to read into context in a post.
Yes. And ....?
Many sick perversions are not unfortunately, illegal. There were once laws against homosexuality in many states. There are many countries in which laws against homosexuality are on the books and even occasionally enforced.
What Cruz is saying is that the whole issue is not one in which the Federal Government has any say. The gays say that any citizen has the right to marry anyone of either sex (or any sex?). Not so. In many states, one may not marry a relative within varying limits of consanguinity. One may not marry more than one spouse. Neither does any jurisdiction have the right to dictate what a clergyman may, or may not do in performing his church functions or ceremonies.
In every town and hamlet in this country there is an attorney that two people of the same sex can hire to form a life partnership, giving each partner the full legal prerogatives of any person married legally to another person of the opposite sex. That partnership is just that. Homosexual "marriage" is as impossible as "Free Slavery."
Where did you get that from that I implied that?
I was talking about Mr. Apple.
Thanks RandomHero97
I’m so very glad the MSM is doing important work like trying to destroy conservative candidates and not focusing on trivial stories like the Federal Government planting evidence on investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s computer.
lol
The Federal Government cannot micromanage the lives of 300 million people, and should not try. Cruz is correct.
Deserves repeating.
