…but he speaks the truth.
Because it’s about defending Western civilization, without which none of the Democrats’ constituency groups could survive, against something inherently hostile to it.
"For all the Democrats who are loud champions of the gay and lesbian community whenever there is a culture battle waging, now is the opportunity to speak out against an ideology that calls for the murder of gays and lesbians. ISIS and the theocracy in Iran (supported with American taxpayer dollars) regularly murder homosexuals, throwing them from buildings and burying them under rocks. This is wrong, it is evil, and we must all stand against it. Every human being has a right to live according to his or her faith and conscience, and nobody has a right to murder someone who doesn’t share their faith or sexual orientation. If you’re a Democratic politician and you really want to stand for LGBT, show real courage and stand up against the vicious ideology that has targeted our fellow Americans for murder."
That’s a major stink-bomb thrown into the Democrats’ camp. The cultural-Marxist Left has for years been hard at work inventing a succession of provocations designed to paint ordinary Americans and the country’s traditions as racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted, intolerant, you name it – when there is a real villain out there which would bleed the Left just as dry as the Right, and rather than recognize that threat they’ve made excuses for it and played along with the fiction that vigilance against sharia Islam and the creeping civilizational jihad infecting Western countries is another form of bigotry.
Well, now with Orlando we see that sharia Islam and the gay community are not going to coexist. And you can’t blame this on Christian conservatives, and you can’t blame it on Donald Trump, and you can’t blame it on guns. The Left is going to have to choose. Will it choose to preserve Western civilization, which stands for human liberty and some concept of public virtue based in the Judeo-Christian tradition, or will it abandon that civilization and stand by as Islam fills the void?
Look we accept Trump.
Stop kicking us in the balls.
Well, here’s Ted own government website to tell you the same thing:
https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=2321
But of course, you can’t trust that site, right?
Can he agree with the guy without he jackals coming out?
Fair point. Not mad at you—just Ted.
Can he agree with the guy without he jackals coming out?
Can Ted Cruz open his mouth without making a calculated and self serving statement? Where was Ted Cruz when conservatives where being assaulted in San Jose? I don’t recall Ted Cruz strutting around TV cameras after that happened. Why is that?
He was forcing affirmative action dems to get on record
They all do That.
Only a fool would not
Good night FRiends.
Keep the peace and stay vigilant.
There was no point in his voting for it, because everyone voted for it, minus Tom Cotton.
He could have voted “no” and the Senate was still going to pass the Corker amendment 97-2. That amendment let 0bama’s “Iranian self-certification” occur in record time, so that 0bama could give Iran all that money ASAP.
Sleep well, FRiend.
He won’t be gone...he made a promise to the people of Texas, and he has delivered. He will be reelected.
From Your link.
“Our first priority should be stopping a bad Iran deal that jeopardizes the lives of millions of Americans and millions of our allies,” Sen. Cruz said. “There is nothing more important this body can consider, not trade, not the budget. There is nothing more important. The first responsibility of this body is to protect the national security of this country - to protect the lives and safety of men, women, and children across this country - and the President’s Iran deal deeply jeopardizes the safety of Americans.”
He won’t be gone...he made a promise to the people of Texas, and he has delivered. He will be reelected. Drop it now.
That was the point.
To bring a bad bill to the guillotine.
Did you even read that?
Yes, and then he voted for it. Honestly, I know what Ted said, but I also know what Ted did, and he cast that vote grudgingly, but it didn’t need to be his place to vote that way.
You do realize TRUMP voted straight Republican since 1980’s, right? Trump was not exactly from the conservative South, either.
A copy of TRUMP’s voting record was posted here, some time ago.
I never really have seen a copy of slick Ted’s documents on much of anything. I mean this guy sealed his stuff pretty tight. Go figure.
I will reelect him.
He is a thorn in their side
I am really tired of this shit on FR. Trump won. I get it. But constant attacks on good conservatives is counter productive. STFU.
