“It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” - Samuel Adams

Boy, he got that right. Constant whining of the left drives me insane. It’s like a spoiled brat whose parents just finally give in.

BUT, why does Ted Cruz have to bash gluten free? Is celiacs disease a disqualifier to serve in the military?

I would guess that celiac’s is a no go for the military. I have it and every time I get the tiniest amount of gluten it is like getting the flu.

He's bashing the misplaced priorities of the Obama regime.

Good question. But if they let people with celiac into the service, then they do need to offer them something their digestion can handle.

In my case, if I ingest even a molecule of wheat flour, I will be sick for 14 days. The symptoms are that your own intestinal antibodies go to work, attacking not the gluten, but the intestine, producing incessant lower GI rumbling and turmoil. It can be very debilitating.

For people with celiac's, gluten-free is not a fad diet.
