January 6, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – The father of GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz minced no words recently, telling an audience of evangelical Christians abortion is murder and that there are moral absolutes pertaining to life and sexuality.
Reverend Rafael Cruz called on Americans to reject the politically correct language of liberals, such as “gay” for “homosexual” and “pro-choice” for abortion support.
“We have to stop being politically correct,” Rev. Cruz said in a report from CNSNews. “We have to stop acquiescing even to the wording that the liberals use.”
Rev. Cruz was forthright in calling out the duplicity of culturally accepted language used to describe immoral acts.
“Just think about it,” he said. “They talk about the issue of life. They say ‘pro-life’ or ‘pro-choice.’ That’s not the right word. It is ‘pro-life’ or ‘pro-death.’ It is ‘pro-life’ or ‘pro-murder.’”
The preacher went on to explain how the concept of tolerance is also used to advance the homosexual agenda, with tolerance used to silence opposition to the lifestyle.
“And so, it’s just like calling homosexuals ‘gays,’” Rev. Cruz said. “Gay means happy.”
“Then they try to delude it so it becomes socially acceptable,” he said, “and if you say anything against homosexual marriage, then oh, you’re not tolerant.”
“They talk about the issue of life. They say ‘pro-life’ or ‘pro-choice.’ That’s not the right word. It is ‘pro-life’ or ‘pro-death.’ It is ‘pro-life’ or ‘pro-murder.’”
The father of Senator Ted Cruz fled Cuba in 1957 at age 18, earning a degree in Mathematics from the University of Texas while working for 50 cents an hour. He earned political asylum in 1961 and became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. in 2005.
His Dallas church operates Christian ministries in Mexico and Central America.
Rev. Cruz has been continually outspoken about Biblical principles and morality, saying in 2013 that Obamacare would “destroy the elderly,” and that life is under attack in the United States.
“When you hear this attack on religion, it's not really an attack on religion,” he told the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa. “The fundamental basis is this: Socialism requires that government becomes your god. That’s why they have to destroy the concept of God. They have to destroy all loyalties except loyalty to government.”
The following year Rev. Cruz told the Western Williamson County Republican Club in Texas that Planned Parenthood’s purpose is for population control in black neighborhoods.
“Look at where all or most of the abortion clinics are: in the black neighborhoods to control their population,” he stated. "Every black … should be enraged.”
In his recent comments disapproving politically correct language, Rev. Cruz also criticized how society’s acceptance of this moral degradation has come to force people of faith to compromise their beliefs, declaring that there are fundamental moral truths.
“So we’re supposed to prostitute our principles on behalf of tolerance,” Rev. Cruz said.
“Well, I’ll tell you what. There are absolutes. There are absolutes,” he emphasized. “Start being biblically correct instead of politically correct.”
He nails it right there.
Wow. That is a great statement you highlighted.

“”The fundamental basis is this: Socialism requires that government becomes your god. That’s why they have to destroy the concept of God. They have to destroy all loyalties except loyalty to government.”
PERFECT
Yep.
Anytime a liberal says they are pro-choice, I say “oh you mean pro-abortion” and it infuriates them.
He sure does. PC exists to prevent Truth from being heard. (Wittgenstein knew whoever controls Words/Language will control the emotions/desires of the masses.)
PC is designed to keep the masses ignorant from Truth, since everyone knows (or should know) that “Truth will set you Free”.
As Machiavelli knew hundreds of years age—Truth is more hated and feared than Lies.
All fascist/Maxists/Socialistic (slave) cultures force Lies onto the masses-—24-7 and is why they have to CONTROL all information (esp. schools) because Truth will enlighten always, unless people are so drugged and narcissistic (evil) that they sold their Soul to the devil.
The Rev. Cruz is a favorite of ours, he says what he thinks no matter where or who it hurts or helps...with more ‘bombasity’ Donald Trump does the same thing. Both men are 99% right even though the left would deny that fact.
Yes, he does. Great quote.
Ted Cruz's dad rips political correctness:It sounds like he'll be voting for Trump.
Amen!
Where, thanks to Prof. R.L. Moore, students had to think on their feet in class.
Too bad republicans having been saying this for years. Every time someone says “It’s a woman’s choice” the response should be “Yes, it’s her choice to murder her baby.”
Thank you for your excellent post!

Preach it, brother.
I’d highlight the parts he said that I agree with, but don’t see the point of reposting the entire thread.
Well said.
