"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

That’s because religious freedom is the true target.

Onwe would have to be classed as one of the dumbest idiots or the most ignorant of the decade to not see how the homosexual agenda is threatening the freedom of religion which was the very basic founding of this country.
Many of us warned about this years ago only for liberals and libertarians to say their agenda was no big deal and it all started with their civil unions up in VT.

This is what Verrilli said when asked if religious schools could lose tax-exempt status:
"General Verrilli: You know, I dont think I can answer that question without knowing more specifics, but its certainly going to be an issue. I dont deny that. I dont deny that, Justice Alito. It is it is going to be an issue."
Yes, it's going to be an issue. And we've already seen what side the Fed Leviathan is going to come down on in the Little Sisters of the Poor case.
And we've already seen how the IRS deals w/ political enemies.
Anybody that thinks religious liberty will survive a wrong decision by USSC is naïve.

Bingo! Get rid of Christianity then you can do anything you want. What I don’t understand is how Islam works into the mix. I can only guess they’ll be exempt.

It may be obvious but there is no other candidate who will say it so clearly and not backtrack when called out on it... oh and he will be called out; probably by one of the wannabees most likely they will all pile on, Cruz will then with a smile slap them all about the head and shoulders.
CRUZ or LOSE 2016!

"Cruz later claimed that Solicitor General Donald Verrilli had said during last months Supreme Court marriage equality arguments that if marriage equality is legalized nationwide, the IRS will start denying tax-exempt status to churches. (In the exchange Cruz referred to, Verrilli had said nothing of the sort.)"
The author is lying. Verrilli DID say something "of the sort." He did not deny that opposition to gay marriage could affect the tax status of private colleges, and by implication churches as well. He said it was an open issue.

Exactly.

Liberals are too stupid to understand that they won’t be exempt from Islam.

Verrilli didn’t deny it when posed by the judges. If gay marriage is protected, then churches lose their tax exempt status same as those that are racist.

Exactly so.
We live in the age of marketing. Most folks view "New and Improved" claims with a healthy amount of skepticism, when it comes to consumer products. If only they would exercise appropriate cynicism in regards to the ideas they accept from the marketing campaigns of cliche.
The Greedy Rich...has become a mindset. Gay riots to Sister Boom Boom to AIDS to Will and Grace enabled tolerance, then equality, now supremacy.
It's been obvious for years.

"Many of us warned about this years ago only for liberals and libertarians to say their agenda was no big deal and it all started with their civil unions up in VT."
Exactly. They've been lying all along. Whenever Christians warn about the next step, they employ mockery to deride the very possibility of the next step. Then, five years later, the next step comes. So we absolutely cannot trust them in this issue. If you read any message board on the topic of gay marriage, there are countless people who would love to use this issue to tax churches and even to imprison Christians. The anti-Christian hate is off the charts.
To: SoConPubbie
There is little doubt that once the gaystapo has established gay marriage as a right guaranteed under the Constitution that they will quickly attempt to force churches and clergy to participate in their weddings. When they balk, they will call for their tax exempt status to be removed.

I have no trouble with the concept of civil unions, because whatever ones sexual preference, they can be necessary to protect and direct assets and care. I have no trouble (well actually I don't "get it") with people's private sexual deviancies. I do have trouble with anything except one man-one woman couples being the ideal for raising children and having social stability.
I can live alongside same sex couples, but I don't want to know about whether their sexuality is deviant. Just keep it to themselves.
Civilization cannot exist in the cesspool we now have. There has to be a standard that's looked up to as the norm. I think a majority of US citizens support that view if it's expressed in such a way that ones privacy and rights are protected. It isn't difficult....gays have their rights, they have them without marriage being destroyed. They should just SHUT UP.

The legitamization of homosexual marriage is a threat to our society and nation. Once you change public opinion and “law” and make one perversion acceptable, someone will move that on to the next perversion and the next and then you start changing what is a crime and what is not. Society fails and America ends.......

What I like most about Ted Cruz — he isn’t afraid to enrage the leftists by pointing out what is readily apparent.
