You’ve completely missed the point too. What is it with you Cruz supporters?

“Because you are obviously NOT a Constitutionalist.”

Could you explain that particular post?

And if a Muslim DID attempt to force sharia on America, it would be a one-term presidency.

Do you really think if a President really wanted to do that, he would come right out and say, "I going to impose Sharia on America"? Of course not, he would be subtle about it, as Obama has been.

This was an unforced error by Carson; it was NOT an error by Cruz.

Somehow I knew you would show up on your white horse. I am glad you aren’t supporting Hillary. That is a compliment.

LOL No more

It’s funny, as a debater, he would appreciate that discussion, and losing that debate.

After all, any religion in which the penalty for apostasy is physical death isn’t a religion.

It would be very difficult to argue against that.

I hope some idiot like MeGYN Kelly wades into that and someone points that troubling fact out.

If you can’t leave something after finding your life’s experiences clash with the tenets of any faith freely, without the threat of death, then its a gang.

Even cults don’t seek to kill people who flee. They just look to kidnapping them back in most cases.

I’m just curious— do you think there is somewhere in America, a conservative limited government Muslim-American? Is that possible?

“What if Americans are too smart — and refuse to elect a Muslim?
If only.”

A muslim running for president would probably lie about his/her religion in order to get elected.

Hmmm....

Sure quote Ben Carson saying it was constitutional for government to ban Muslims smart ass.

I do not believe I said that. Maybe you posted to the wrong person.

"Could you explain that particular post?"

Because you are disagreeing with the Constitution, which prohibits a "religious test" for public office. You are suggesting that Muslins can constitutionally be banned from seeking public office. If you are NOT suggesting that, then you are not disagreeing with Cruz, who was talking about the Constitution, not what voters might consider in their own minds.

A practicing Muslim believes in and follows Sharia law. That is inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution. Surely Sen. Cruz knows that.

Technically - he is correct.

Unfortunately, he is correct - as already proven with the current Islamic Terrorist occupying the White House...

Why is Cruz even wasting his time commenting on this garbage? And if some media-dope asked then tell him to move on to the next question.
