Ted Cruz is the best thing we have going for keeping conservatism alive. Today, we have seen a host of threads bashing Ted Cruz as anti-Christian, booed by Christians, and generally attacked in the headlines and write-ups reporting an event. I posted a legitimate thread that tells the truth: Booed by Arabs because Cruz supports Israel.

Is anybody really saying "Ted Cruz booed by Christians"?

Is that really what anybody takes away from reading these articles?

"Arab Christians" is the usual way of referring to ... well ... Christians who are Arab or Arabs who are Christian.

It's been that way for a long time.

Just say "Arab" and people assume "Muslim," which isn't what these people are.

The other threads did NOT include the Arab part. It makes a difference.

And this thread doesn’t leave out the Christian part.

At the top of the editorial sidebar and there most of the day is this: "Ted Cruz Is No Hero For Insulting A Room Of Persecuted Christians "

And there was at least one earlier article that basically said that Cruz was booed by Christians:

So, the answer to your question is YES.

That is why balance was absolutely necessary in my view.
