Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Supreme Court decisions put Americans on the cusp of losing "fundamental rights" Sunday on "Life, Liberty & Levin."

Over and over again, the big landmark cases are 5-4," he told host Mark Levin. "We're one vote away on issue after issue after issue from losing our fundamental rights."

I read an interesting Facebook comment responding to a news site article about Cruz and these comments.

Someone took a conservative view on the comments and a liberal replied with roughly:

“There is no such thing as fundamental rights. There is no God so there are no rights given by them. The only rights you are given are the rights given by the government. And if we in the majority want to take them away from you we will. If we don’t want to hear your bullish!+ about abortion, we can make it illegal to talk against it. Too bad. Get over it.”

It was a minor wake up call to me that that is really where we are all headed soon.

I’ve encountered such people. Unsurprisingly they believe such tyranny will never apply to them. When the jackboot eventually comes to stomp on their face they will do anything to appease their statist masters. Their cowardice and fear will not even allow them to save their own children.

A liberal replacing a liberal. How does that change anything?

There are only two conservatives on the court now.

Frank Peretti, who wrote “This Present Darkness” said in an interview many years ago that evil must take over, and that the world will fall into the darkness that comes with it. There’s no stopping it from happening, but that’s where the judgment of God steps in, and in the end we know who wins. It’s just an absolute shame to see this once great nation into the wrath that is sure to come, and to be witness of it.

History has already recorded the Roberts Court as the most shameful since the Taney Court.

Chief Justice Roger B. Taney was the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court when the Dred Scott case was decide.

Our rights come from GOD. They are not granted.

We’re commanded to pray for such people. I try, until push comes to shove.

1 Tim 2:1-2: I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Paul commanded for us to pray for our leaders as he did for his. And Paul's political leaders were off the chart insane. Men like Tiberius, Caligula, etc. Our prayer is simply to be that they will lead in such a way as to allow us to lead quiet and peaceable lives.

“Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Supreme Court decisions put Americans on the cusp of losing “fundamental rights” Sunday on “Life, Liberty & Levin.””

LOL. If Cruz and Levin had their way in 2016, the court would be 7-2 DEMOCRAT by now.
