An obscure Louisiana State university professor named Sean Illing, writing for leftist rag Salon, attacked GOP presidential candidates for espousing their Christian beliefs at a Christian rally at a Dallas-area megachurch, asserting insanely that no one in the Republican party cares about the U.S. Consitution, including “star of the show” Senator Ted Cruz.
Let’s put aside the hilarious assumption that the GOP doesn’t care about the Constitution (we’ll get back to that) and focus on the charge that Cruz doesn’t care about the Constitution. Illing, an esteemed intellect who obtained his bachelor’s degree at LSU, then had to travel to the hallowed University of West Florida for his master’s degree (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, et al, were unavailable, for some strange reason) stated, “Cruz regaled the audience with inflated warnings about threats to ‘religious liberty’ in America. ‘Religious liberty is under threat as never before in this country,’ Cruz declared, adding that he would ‘not surrender’ on issues like gay marriage, no matter what the law or the general will or the Supreme Court says – because I guess that’s how it works in a democracy.”
Let’s pause for a moment to examine Cruz’s unimpressive academic and professional credentials:
Whew.
Oh, about intellectual giant Illing’s charge that religious liberty is not threatened in America?
In truth, the left is scared s***less of Cruz; he combines a fierce intellect with a willingness to go to the wall for conservative principles that simply terrifies them – and the Republican establishment.
Hmm. How about here, here, here, here, and here, just for starters.
In reality, the intellectual pygmy Illing criticizing Cruz, a man who was described by legendary Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, a confessed liberal, as “off-the-charts brilliant,” for not caring about the Constitution boggles the mind.
In truth, the left is scared s***less of Cruz; he combines a fierce intellect with a willingness to go to the wall for conservative principles that simply terrifies them – and the Republican establishment.
As far as the charge that the GOP cares nothing for the Constitution, let us remind the self-satisfied Illing that it is the left that seeks to destroy the Constitution by resorting to the use of judicial fiat rather than the legislative process, as seen here, and suggested here.
The puny Illing finally concludes, “What you saw on that stage was indeed the ‘fruit of a harvest of decades’ of work, but it wasn’t God who gave Christians a greater role in government; it was the Republican Party who sold their souls to the religious right.”
Strange how that works; Illing slams the Christians in the GOP for being parochial, yet which party strongly supports the Jewish state of Israel? Which party’s Evangelical president, according to Bono, did an "amazing" job in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa? And which party’s president, who has mocked both Judaism and Christianity, stands idly by while Christian children are raped and slaughtered by ISIS and Jewish children on bicycles are knifed by Palestinians?
Give me Christians every time.
Go, Cruz, GO!
Not only intellectually damaged, they’re all gay. Proof that sodomy causes brain damage, especially when one’s head is already up one’s a$$.
It is from Salon thus not worth reading unless you are in the mood to eat crap. I do not eat crap.
Actually, talking about the GOP as opposed to Cruz, I think I'm with the author on this one. For example, why are they letting Ebola run roughshod over the separation of powers? Congress is supposed to be far more in control than POTUS. What about Bush's "Patriot Act"? GOPe'rs are constantly either doing unconstitutional stuff or laying down while someone else does, and their oaths be damned.
Well, some of them are immoral or at least amoral. Does that count?
I forgot to add, “If Salon is your enemy that means you are the good guy.”
Also, the guys at Salon really believe what they write. As a pharmacist I could suggest medications, but I do not think it will help.
I bet 200cc of Dilaudid would.
It'll take a little longer than two weeks to rid the country of those who seek to take take our God given rights.
“And he is mean to little kids, and doesn’t like puppies. He once ate a live kitten too.
I heard he shot Bambi’s mother. “
Does stepping on cockroaches, a regular habit of Ted, count?
“What fool is writing this?”
Need more proof that Marijuana is harmless?
Hey, if you’re an unsuccessful, unknown leftist writer, you write a clearly preposterous piece asserting something a 3 year old knows is false, and there is a good chance Salon or Huffington Post will buy it. That’s what they have to do to distinguish themselves from all the other unemployed leftie writers. They have to come up with a big, new lie that nobody else had the guts to try and sell to the public, because the regular leftie writers already have the smaller, safer lies covered.
Libturd knickers in a twist = SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!
Right-—nothing from Salon about our military men having to look the other ways as boys are being sodomized by the homosexual, vile, sexist Afghanis-—and our men are PUNISHED when they beat a man who is attacking a boy and his mother.
Where is the outrage——oh-—I know-—Salon’s worldview is the same, irrational, vile one of homosexuals -—where they “think” it is a right to lust after other males (pure puerile sexism/evil) and boys-—as all sodomite cultures like the Samurai and Spartan’s and Nazis SS/SA believed.
To promote evil and dysfunction in a “Just Law” is unconstitutional-—and they KNOW it....that is why a brilliant man like Cruz is a danger. HE KNOWS that we have TRAITORS on the SCOTUS who need to be in prison for TREASON. For throwing our our “Justice” (virtue) System for an irrational, evil, vile Marxist one-—where males and females are interchangeable (irrational and pure Marxism/radical egalitarianism).

any question on which way he swings or what he would do for his lord, Obama? I didn't think so....Photos say say so much more than words....
Idiotic article.
Cruz should be the first appointment by Trump to the USSC.
As anticipated he loves the government, claims to be an Air Force veteran and “former political scientist” and hates guns. I have NEVER known a former serviceman who hates guns. They trained with them. I wonder what a little scrutiny might reveal on his time in the military and what must’ve been a very short career as a professor and “political scientist”. Sort of reminds me of the clims by movie stars ho lim they can speak 5 different languages only to learn they just learned enough conversationallingo to order food or a beer at their filming locations in other countries...
He just received his Phd in political science in 2008

Queers lie and make up any old thing to suit their agenda.
