Cruz: Obama 'More Interested in Promoting Homosexuality in the Military Than He Is in Defeating Our Enemy'

Morale in the U.S. military has “plummeted” in recent years because President Barack Obama “doesn’t support our soldiers,” won’t even name the enemy “radical Islamic terrorism,” and is “more interested in promoting homosexuality in the military” than in “defeating our enemy,” said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

During a conference call with Bishop E.W. Jackson of the National Emergency Coalition (NEC), Senator Cruz said, “You look at the military and one of the things we’ve seen is morale in the military under the Obama administration has plummeted, and it has plummeted because you have a commander-in-chief that doesn’t support our soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines."

Ted Cruz's Remark (Audio)

“You have a commander-in-chief that doesn’t stand up against our enemies, that won’t even acknowledge or say the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’” said Cruz. “And you have a commander-in-chief that treats the military as a cauldron for social experimentation.”

“He’s more interested in promoting homosexuality in the military than he is in defeating our enemy,” said the senator.

“So, for example,” he added,  “the military is now focused on trying to promote transgender soldiers. The role of the military is not to be some left-wing social experiment.”

“The reason we have the brave men and women who sign up as servicemen and women to defend this nation is to stand for our values, to protect our safety and security, to protect innocent men and women, and to stand up and defeat our enemies,” said Cruz.

In conclusion, he said,  “I would stop the shameless politicizing of our military to push a left-wing agenda that is contrary to the values and contrary to who we are as an American people and a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values.”

Senator Cruz, 44, is married and has two children. He holds degrees from Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and is a Southern Baptist.

Homosexuals and “transgenders” (there’s no such thing) will further weaken the military - that’s the plan.

Cruz just called Ophonybama a pussy, using “diplomatic” terminology! LOL!

Had LTC Peters said it this way, he would not have been benched for two weeks.

HST, LTC Peters certainly got more press!

And, they spelled his name correctly!

Cruz has it absolutely right, and it’s clear that obama, the Manchurian Candidate, is trying to destroy the military just as he’s trying to destroy America.

I wonder if Trump and Cruz are coordinating their attacks. Drop one bomb on Monday and drop another bomb two days later.

Ted Cruz is a fearless advocate for issues important to social conservatives; the issue of homosexuals in the military being one such issue. Social conservatives are beginning to coalesce in support of Ted Cruz realizing he is the one remaining viable candidate that best represents their values. The Cruz campaign is definitely seeing this happening in Iowa.

The role of the military is not to be some left-wing social experiment.

Whereas leftists assume the purpose of everything is to further a left-wing agenda.

You can be sure the Cruz campaign is intently focused on the failed and destructive policies of Obama/Clinton and has no time to waste on the campaigns of other GOP candidates. :o)
