The progressive elites will try to do to Cruz what they did to Abbott
The American mainstream media, the Republican Party establishment and the Democratic Party are determined that Ted Cruz not be sworn in as the 45th president.
Anyone with that opposition must be formidable.
That he is. Campaigning against Federal ethanol subsidies in Iowa, a major corn producing state, and against all poll predictions, Cruz defeated the media's favourite, Donald Trump, receiving more votes than any Republican candidate ever had. Cruz is the candidate most motivated by his attachment to traditional American principles. For his opponents, these are principles to which lip service only should be accorded these days. But the principles under which a Cruz administration would operate are the very ones on which the American Republic was founded.
Cruz does not merely mouth the proposition that all men have been endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, he lives by this. As Texas Solicitor General he had been one of America's most successful public constitutional lawyers, with a string of successes in the Supreme Court. Having memorised it while still a schoolboy, the Constitution remains his guide to the good governance of the Union. By this he means the Constitution according to the original intention of the Founding Fathers, not that fictional 'living organism' which is the tool of activist judges who claim it means whatever they want it to mean.

Nimrod (The Mighty One) built a tower also. He gathered the people together promising them security, but slowly the civilization changed to tyranny. The tower fell and people were scattered. No new thing under the sun.
The juxtaposition of your handle, with your argument, is awesome. Not in a good way, but awesome.
"Shy student wants to talk to girls" is "creepy" how?
Perhaps some of those students at the home of the "Princeton rub" might have preferred he spent his spare time dropping the soap in the men's showers.
Third-hand regurgitated gossip. Is this the best Princeton can do?
How about an invisible Columbia student? That hold any fascination for the author, d'ya think?
Ted is being crucified by many right here on FR. Pretty sad to see FReepers using left-wing attacks on Cruz right here at the “premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism.”
Headline is in bad taste for Lenten season.
I’m a Christian, and I don’t take offense.
Crucifixion is a cruelty that was not exclusively imposed on Christ. It is still being practiced by IslamoNazis in the Middle East today. The metaphor works.
Persecution to a Cruz supporter is that anyone who does not support Cruz is crucifying him.
Ted would do well to cut this stuff out.
The religious overtones used with Ted for political gain are particularly annoying, and made even more so due to the behavior of some of his supporters.
Monomania much?
That’s because the Super PACs are pushed and funded by the powers that be who want their Cheap-Labor-Express guy, Rubio, the most malleable of them all, to win the nomination. Period. So they will “crucify” Cruz any which way possible if it helps to advance Rubio.
No, it doesn’t. For many of us it’s one more annoying trait associated with Ted.
I will forever thank Mr. Trump for shattering the Amnesty cartel and exposing the open border vermin in both parties.
However, Trump lost me when he declared his radical leftwing sister a fitting SCOTUS appointment, then said he would force Apple to bring their manufacturing back to the US.
WTF? Trump is the creepiest person ever! I would never let him around a family member...
Contested Republican convention.
Followed by nomination of Mitt Romney.
Exactly
Persecute
subject (someone) to hostility and ill-treatment, especially
because of their race or political or religious beliefs.
Crucify
put (someone) to death by nailing or binding them to a
cross, especially as an ancient punishment.
I still can’t get past the creepiness of Ted.
