Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Saturday said Democrats had gone to extremes in their persecution of Christians.
“Today’s Democratic Party has decided there is no room for Christians in today’s Democratic Party,” he said at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition summit in Waukee, Iowa.
“There is a liberal fascism that is going after Christian believers,” the 2016 GOP presidential candidate continued.
“It is heartbreaking,” Cruz argued. “But it is so extreme, it is waking people up.”
Cruz said same-sex marriage had produced rabid zealotry in Democratic ranks. This ideology, he argued, was excluding people of faith.
“Today’s Democratic Party has become so radicalized for legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states that there is no longer any room for religious liberty,” he said.
The Texas lawmaker said this stance was against America’s traditional values. Religious liberty, Cruz claimed, was one of the nation’s founding principles.
“We were founded by men and women fleeing religious persecution,” Cruz declared.
“We need leaders who will stand unapologetically in defense of the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was built,” he concluded.
Cruz, a long-time opponent of same-sex marriage, seemingly softened his tone on gay rights earlier this week.
The White House hopeful reportedly said Monday evening he would still accept one of his daughters if they became a lesbian.
The Texas lawmaker was the first official entrant into the 2016 election cycle.
He so far will face Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) for their party’s nomination.
"I really could not have destroyed Christians, Jews, and Hindus worldwide or America, itself
without the continuous help of yourself, McCain, McConnell and Boehner.
May allah protect you in the GOP (Give-Obama-Power party)
until the last American is enslaved or beheaded."
The White House hopeful reportedly said Monday evening he would still accept one of his daughters if she became a lesbian.
If the media reports innuendo and rumor enough it becomes truth. Goebbels would be proud. Also, how do you suddenly become a lesbian? The homo fascist meme is that you are born that way.
Cruz went and done said it “liberal fascism” It’s about time someone did. There will outrage and the rest of the Redumblicans will scurry like rats and denounce him for it in 3..2..1
Once again, Cruz nails it!
What would Mr. Obama’s response be if I was to tell him that:
Allah = SATAN?
Cruz again not mincing words and I love it.
No pandering , no flip flops like the other who are running, no this guy is the real deal a true conservative and a conservative who can articulate his points.

JOHN 3:16 - 21
16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gavehis one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
18 “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.
19 And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. 20 All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. 21 But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.
GOP = Give Obama Power - both clever and sadly true.
An analysis of voting patterns in Congress since January shows that nothing’s changed even with a Republican majority.
To the RNC: “Not one DIME for those cowards in Congress!”
Ted Cruz alone excepted. I’m giving to his campaign.
When Democrats villify Ted Cruz for his remarks in Iowa Sat. night, just remind them that they denied God 3 times:

Yeah but what is he going to do about it?
Which is why they side with radical Islam so much.
Yep, one of the biggest things that drives me nuts about the Repunknicans is how they totally kiss the butt of the Democraps. This is why I think Hitlery has a good chance of becoming President because the Repunknicans are going to do every thing they possibly can to nominate a RINO and that RINO is going to be a total wuss and isn’t going to say sh*t about Hitlerys 9 billion scandals and she will waltz right into the White House.
Good points. This is a media attack on Cruz's steadfastness.
Allah = SATAN?
EXACTLY!
I’ve been saying for many, many moons that:
1. islam is satan’s death cult
2. “allah” = satan
That’s why leftists (socialists/commies/etc...) are fellow travelers - they have same enemies: God and His Jewish/Christian followers.
Time to have a national Religious Freedom Business Practices Act. A law for helping christian businesses against liberal activists, like gay marriage fakers...
Cruz: The left practices vilification and insults and spews hatred to people of faith. Our friends in the media facilitate it playing gotcha questions all the time. And yet, curiously they never ask those in the Democratic Party how they would react if their children became evangelical Christians. [laughter and applause] They never ask those in the Democratic Party how they would react if their children were faithful Catholics who believed the Biblical teaching that those Democratic politicians are persecuting actively.Time queued link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrx2zbzL0Tg&t=16m41s
I like someone who will call a spade a spade. He is right on target.
Cruz has two bills before Congress, one that protects states from having their laws against gay marriage overturned by the courts. The other biil is for a Constitutional Amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
“Cruz went and done said it “liberal fascism””
Oh, it was fantastic! I watched his whole speech last night on cspan.org. Wow, aside from simply being in another league as an effective and persuasive public speaker, I just love the way he turns the left’s lexicon against them. For example, he talked about how the democrat party has allowed itself to be taken over by the most “radical” and “extreme” elements on the left. He is laying out the case that people of ANY sort of traditional religious faith, be it Catholic, protestant, or Jewish, are not really welcome in the secular oriented democrat party.
