Ted Cruz gave a great interview this morning to an NBC host who tried twice to corner him on his response to the same-sex marriage ruling, comparing it to a supreme court ruling that invalidated laws that prohibited interracial marriage. But Cruz was having none of that, explaining that there was no religious backing for that kind of law. Cruz instead took the ‘elite’ justices on, explaining how they violated their oath and why they must be held accountable.
Plus Cruz is the result of an interracial marriage.
Thank you.
Agree, completely! Thanks for that post :-)
The infobabe looked like an idiot reading her material while she got schooled on each subject.
Yeah, me too: my TX mother married my CA father. LOLOL!
I think he did very well pointing out that more than 600,000 men died on the battlefields for causes one of which was the institution of slavery and that the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were all post-Civil War amendments to ensure that no one would be judged on race and ....THEREFORE comparison of race to homosexuality is not comparable because there are no laws or constitutional constructs that address homosexual so-called ‘marriage’.
Ted then schooled Savannah that the course taken by Americans to recognize blacks with all rights and liberties was the democratic process whereas homosexuals used the judiciary. Ted then went onto Justice Scalia’s dissent in which he exclaimed that 5 unelected unrepresentative lawyers from Yale and Harvard (no evangelicals) viewing America as one big flyover country saw fit to lord themselves over more than 300 million Americans in making law rather than adjudicating it.
Crux was as always brilliant.
Is there a transcript anywhere? My Tinnitus is acting up today, and the audio is just a booming mess to my ears!
Sorry, Doc...no transcript, AFAIK. If I find one, I’ll post.
It’s a great interview...that highlights how Sen Cruz is able to *focus like a laser* on the subject at hand, with the Constitution as his basis, and NOT be distracted by the usual, lefty gotchas.
Ted Cruz Ping! “I think he did very well pointing out that more than 600,000 men died on the battlefields for causes one of which was the institution of slavery...”
It is now thought to be 750,000 by the latest number crunchers. 150,000 men is not being picky.
‘Ted then schooled Savannah that the course taken by Americans to recognize blacks with all rights and liberties was the democratic process whereas homosexuals used the judiciary.”
That is true, but it did not address her point.
Cruz is the best at this... any other Conservative or Republican would have fallen apart... stuck his foot in his mouth...
There is nothing in the Bible saying it is wrong to date or marry a person of a different race.
There are a few incidental mentions of race in the Bible (e.g., that Ethiopian’s skin was different, Jeremiah 13:23), but there is nothing saying one race is superior to another. Moses was married to a Cushite (Ethiopian) woman (Numbers 12:1-16), and God was angry with Aaron and Miriam for criticizing that marriage.
The Hebrews were forbidden to marry Canaanites and other pagan peoples (Exodus 34:11-16; Deuteronomy 7:1-3). The reason was because those people worshipped idols, not because of race; the Hebrews, Amorites, Canaanites, etc. were racially similar.
The apostle Paul encouraged Christians not to marry unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), but here again, the reason was religious, not racial.
Jesus and His apostles taught that we must respect and show compassion for all people of God’s creation without regard to artificial distinctions like race and nationality. In His Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), Jesus told of a Samaritan man who was kind to a Jewish man even thought they were enemies of different religions, nationalities and racial backgrounds. At the end, Jesus tells us, “Go and do likewise.”
The apostle Paul stated the equality of all people without regard to racial/ethnic background, social status, etc.:
“You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26-28)
WHEN TED CRUZ SAYS THERE IS NO RELIGIOUS BACKING FOR DENYING INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE HE IS TELLING THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH! REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SOME WRONG-HEADED PEOPLE CLAIM THERE ARE RELIGIOUS GROUNDS, THERE ARE NONE!
L. Ron Hubbard claimed his Scientology was a religion. If a Scientologist were to object to homosexual marriage, would this be ‘religious’ grounds to object? No! It’s absurd on its face.
To claim anything is objectionable on religious grounds requires a clear reference to scripture for the objection to be credible. There are no such objections.
Ted Cruz proves once again that he is one of the smartest men in this country. Ah, but, America no longer admires or values wisdom concerning our Constitution. The Supreme Court is 5 to 4 political. I agree with Cruz. The life time appointments need to end.
I agree with you. Samantha Guthrie is a better interviewer, more intelligent, and better prepared. Cruz benefitted from being interviewed by someone who is up to the challenge.
To claim anything is objectionable on religious grounds requires a clear reference to scripture for the objection to be credible. There are no such objections.
It's not the role of government look at scripture to determine whether someone's religious objection is legitimate.
The media elites are going to go into panic mode as they start to realize they can’t bamboozle Ted Cruz.
This gal started out with a long diatribe intended to set Ted up for the fall - and then she had the interracial marriage gimmick that she thought would really sink him - she couldn’t make it work...
He will out argue them every time - and leave them with egg on their faces.
Put your seat belts on, folks. It’s going to get dirty. Once they realize he’s smarter’n all ‘em together - they will get dirfty. Well, dirtier...

So, you're not an American citizen, huh?
