HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding the arrest of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis:
“Today, judicial lawlessness crossed into judicial tyranny. Today, for the first time ever, the government arrested a Christian woman for living according to her faith. This is wrong. This is not America.
“I stand with Kim Davis. Unequivocally. I stand with every American that the Obama Administration is trying to force to chose between honoring his or her faith or complying with a lawless court opinion.
“In dissent, Chief Justice Roberts rightly observed that the Court’s marriage opinion has nothing to do with the Constitution. Justice Scalia observed that the Court’s opinion was so contrary to law that state and local officials would choose to defy it.
“For every politician — Democrat and Republican — who is tut-tutting that Davis must resign, they are defending a hypocritical standard. Where is the call for the mayor of San Francisco to resign for creating a sanctuary city — resulting in the murder of American citizens by criminal illegal aliens welcomed by his lawlessness?
“Where is the call for President Obama to resign for ignoring and defying our immigration laws, our welfare reform laws, and even his own Obamacare?
“When the mayor of San Francisco and President Obama resign, then we can talk about Kim Davis.
“Those who are persecuting Kim Davis believe that Christians should not serve in public office. That is the consequence of their position. Or, if Christians do serve in public office, they must disregard their religious faith–or be sent to jail.
“Kim Davis should not be in jail. We are a country founded on Judeo-Christian values, founded by those fleeing religious oppression and seeking a land where we could worship God and live according to our faith, without being imprisoned for doing so.
“I call upon every Believer, every Constitutionalist, every lover of liberty to stand with Kim Davis. Stop the persecution now.”
” Chastisement can be a blessing. Repentance and conversion are graces and the results of grace.
We Americans desperately need them. “
Yes but Americans have become dense that they have not realized we have been being chastised for a long time .
Truth is people have no fear of God and that includes most of the people who stand in the pulpits .
It is sad that it is taking one woman who has been a Christian only 4 years to stand for what is right .
ONCE AGAIN CRUZ LEADS THE WAY!!
AMEN!
THIS is what a LEADER Does!!
Bump
Half the population is below average.
Some folks need to be hit over the head with a 2x4 ... repeatedly ... to get the message.
Thanks for the ping!
You’re most welcome!
THE big issue of 2016....LIBERTY!
.
Where is Trump?
Where is Bush?
Where are all the rest?
Where is our congress?
.
As the dissent noted, the hyenas in the Federal courts basically ruled in the Arizona immigration cases that state and local officials must defer to Federal policy, even when that policy is openly breaking the law.

I am ashamed to say I supported his Father for Senate many times.
Even so, I can’t believe Jim can be very proud of his son right now.
Bring it on sons of satan!
These jails are going to be full when all of the real men put their foot down and dare you to cross that line.
The society you created will grind to a halt and cease to exist because a very large percentage of the productive workers are Christians & Jews who abhor gay marriage.
” Half the population is below average.
Some folks need to be hit over the head with a 2x4 ... repeatedly ... to get the message. “
Yes the islamics that are being imported by the droves are going to be hitting them on the head all right .
Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Yes, and God established the United State of America.
Read the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.
All I am saying is God did establish us, and in regard to our powers against tyranny he established that also. You are not wrong in bringing up Romans 13

Could someone have grossly misunderstood that verse???
Amen!
I am still mad about that. We saw Mayor Webb of Denver, Congress woman Schroder and the Governor lead a protest march. It took just a few days for the Colorado Supreme Court overturn this Amendment. The change to our Constitution was ruled unconstitutional.
The same court ruled an amendment requiring both a CBI and FBI background check was not allowed to be challenged. Nobody had standing.
“Ted Cruz: This is not the hill to make your stand on. Pick a different one.”
Now see this pick a different one attitude is exactly why Obama and these unjust judges have gotten away with everything they have . Nobody stands for anything so we have the tyranny we deserve .
And amen to that too!
I live in Colorado, where pot is being grown, sold, smoked and soon to be taxed while still illegal according to federal statute. Known foreign trespassers are being arrested and ICE will not take a single action. Voter fraud is committed in nearly every urban area with knowledge of the authorities with no effort to stop it. The IRS is willfully using their power to shape political speech. Arbitrary laws with arbitrary enforcement are the only precedent that can be pointed too. Meanwhile one thing stands unchanged, and that is the law of God, which has ultimate jurisdiction.
