Cruz Throws Back Gay Question To Reporter: "Do You Have A Personal Animosity Against Christians?"
RealClearPolitics Video ^ | May 20, 2015

Presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz made a campaign stop in Beaumont, TX on Tuesday, May 19. He was asked repeatedly by Kevin Steele from KMBT-TV about the issue of gay marriage, to which Cruz responds by turning the tables. (via Joe Walsh)

SEN. TED CRUZ: Let me ask a question: Is there something about the left, and I am going to put the media in this category, that is obsessed with sex? Why is it the only question you want to ask concerns homosexuals? Okay, you can ask those questions over and over and over again. I recognize that you're reading questions from MSNBC...

You're wincing. You don't want to talk about foreign policy. I recognize you want to ask another question about gay rights. Well, you know. ISIS is executing homosexuals. You want to talk about gay rights? This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals. That ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic.

REPORTER: Do you have a personal animosity against gay Americans?

CRUZ: Do you have a personal animosity against Christians sir?[continued]

The “firebrand” burns a reporter.

Love it!

It was said of General Eisenhower that if a problem seemed insoluble, his response was always to make the problem bigger.

The reporter in this instance wanted to keep the problem small - limited to Christian reservations about endorsing homosexual behavior. Cruz enlarged the issue to what is being to homosexuals and to Christians by ISIS which is far more brutal than anything a gay would be likely to encounter from a practicing Christian in America.

Good - they need to be point blank called on their anti-Christian bigotry disguised as some faux love for “gay rights”.

In the world of liberalism anyone who does not get all warm and fuzzy thinking about one man taking the ejaculate from another man’s feces covered penis in his mouth is a hater and, obviously, unfit to lead the free world.

Sorry to be so specific, but that is the the way it is.

Jim Robinson ? This very alone should convince anyone a.d you that Ted Cruz is the canadate that we have sought after since Ronald Reagan .

Ted Cruz takes the liberals agenda and turns the tables on them.

I just noticed that Ron hits her on the left side of her face and she puts up her hand to her right side of her face.

Ted knows how to debate, very well.

He knows how to cream an opponent with logic and facts.

Sumpin Obama and his ilk never learned to do.

Note to self - git lotsa popcorn.

For years I and so many fellow Americans have prayed for a leader who would humbly ask God for Wisdom as he leads. I have no doubt that the one He sent is Ted Cruz. If we don’t elect this man, we are in for even worse times ahead, and we will have brought it on ourselves.

Not to get off the subject but someone in Alex Jones group just got assaulted by the pro abortionist and pro parenthood group.

The pro choice people got in his face and took his mike.

Hey, the successfully convinced the world that a fighter pilot was a complete idiot, and a community organizer is a genius. I think they’re confident they have a shot at succeeding.

Christphobic sounds at better. The yapping chimp is a Christphobe.

Cruz is geting lessons on how to handle the presstitute attacks but I still don’t think he understands what lowdown snakes the bulk of them are.

Another problem in my view is that I don’t think he will be harsh enough to them. When verbally sparring with a left winger my goal is to make them cry.

Homosexuality and Abortion is purely demonic and demonically inspired.
