Ted Cruz: Dems and Big Business Joining to Attack Religious Freedom Is ‘A Perfect Storm’
Brietbart ^ | 5/3/2015 | Wiiliam Bigelow

On Saturday at South Carolina Republican Party’s annual convention, Sen. Ted Cruz, who recently won two straw polls in two of South Carolina’s biggest counties, forcefully attacked big business for its collusion with the Democratic Party in attacking Indiana’s religious liberty law. He also slammed the Obama administration for its intrusion on Americans’s liberty.

Speaking on the brouhaha raised after Indiana passed its Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Cruz said bluntly that the cooperation of the Democratic Party and businesses that threatened Indiana over the law was a “perfect storm of the Democratic Party and big business coming together.” Indiana’s law came after last year’s battle between Evangelical leaders in Houston and city officials after the city subpoenaed sermons given by pastors opposing a gay rights ordinance. Houston Mayor Annise Parker, the first openly lesbian mayor of a major American city, led support for the ordinance....

Cruz asserted, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you,” adding “I will not flinch from defending religious liberty.”

Cruz also spoke on the controversy over Jade Helm 15...

"It is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed. My office has reached out to the Pentagon to inquire about this exercise. We are assured it is a military training exercise. I have no reason to doubt those assurances, but I understand the reason for concern and uncertainty, because when the federal government has not demonstrated itself to be trustworthy in this administration, the natural consequence is that many citizens don’t trust what it is saying.

He continued:

it's a political discussion forum. people discuss politics here. and when a politician alters his views or changes his priorities to appeal to a particular segment of the party, that observation would definitely be categorized as a "political discussion".

The HRC is the biggest and most funded gay agenda organization in the world. This is the group where the co-founder, Obama pal Terry Bean, was recently charged with child molestation. This group is well funded and well organized. They want nothing less than the destruction of our religious freedoms.

Well, since, as you say, this is a political discussion forum where people discuss politics, please prove your assertion that Ted Cruz has altered his views or changed his priorities.

Do I have to???? Kinda resembles Lee Harvey Oswald, eh?

did that the other day on immigration. total slam dunk. people crammed their fingers in their ears and screamed “LALALALALALALA” at the top of their lungs . . . while running around in circles.

relax, dude. ted cruz can handle the scutiny. he’s tough. I have no idea why some of his supporters treat him like he’s a china doll.

This is the means by which they plan to strike back against Christians.

But the effect they can have in this manner is only superficial.
