Ted Cruz’ Callous Disregard of History

The Houston Chronicle's The Peace Pastor ^ | June 27, 2015 | Rev. Marty Troyer, Houston Mennonite: The Church of the Sermon on the Mount

Texas Senator and Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz said 2 Supreme Court rulings were so wrong they constitute one of the “darkest periods” in US history.

I can not even begin to understand the blinders you’d need to wear to make such a callous statement as this.

Slavery. Lynchings. Trail of Tears. Triangle shirtwaste factory. Hiroshima. Nagasaki. My Lai. Kent State. 9/11. Hurricane Katrina. When we first learned about Abu Ghrab. 115 migrants dead in the Texas borderlands in 2014. Even Charleston just last week.

These were dark days folks. People dying is a dark day. People dying because we killed them is an especially dark period in our history.

It is not a dark day when you loose at politics. You fought… you lost. Period....

[2ndDivisionVet]

Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The things that almost certainly saved my father's life and millions of others, as well?

[South40]

Hiroshima and Nagasaki, while horrific events, shortened the war, which saved untold numbers of lives.

"It is not a dark day when you loose at politics. You fought… you lost. Period...."

Suckers that take martytroyer seriously need to see the 1961 movie Judgement at Nuremberg

[BlessedBeGod]

It is not a dark day when you loose at politics. You fought… you lost. Period....

It has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with morality.

The left is always trying to turn moral issues into politics.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Don’t want your cities atomized or fire-bombed? Don’t attack us before declaring war, don’t march thousands of our captured soldiers to death in the blazing sun and don’t crash land your airplanes into our ships.

Slavery. Lynchings. Trail of Tears. Triangle shirtwaste factory. Hiroshima. Nagasaki. My Lai. Kent State. 9/11. Hurricane Katrina. When we first learned about Abu Ghrab. 115 migrants dead in the Texas borderlands in 2014. Even Charleston just last week.

He forgot to mention:

Black on white crime, AIDS and homosexual rape of young boys.

[ Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The things that almost certainly saved my father’s life and millions of others, as well? ]

The fire bombings of dresden and other german cities were just chopped liver to this liberal puke I guess...

[lewislynn]

they constitute one of the “darkest periods

ONE OF THE DARKEST...not thee darkest Pastor Peacenik

[RedHeeler]

Hey, Marty the Rev, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

[2ndDivisionVet]

And how is it our fault that 115 illegals died trying to sneak into our country? Sounds like a scandal for Mexico, not the United States. Abu Ghrab? How many deaths were their at that place? And it’s telling that he reached back to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, isn’t it?

[MEG33]

The writer used loose for lose.
Liberal education?

[lewislynn]

When we first learned about Abu Ghrab.

That was a dark period. Wasn't that the one where they made those poor bastards wear panties on their heads?

115 migrants dead in the Texas borderlands in 2014.

That's our fault? They should have stayed home or come better prepared

Even Charleston just last week.

Or Chicago every week.

I think Ted Cruz is right on the mark and so does Governor Abbott.

[piasa]

Also forgot to mention abortion.

[oldbrowser]

I think the good reverend doesn't realize that Christians are in the crosshairs. And no it's not just politics.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Kent State ? Whut ? This “Reverunt” should be slapped across the face with a carp. Repeatedly.

[fieldmarshaldj]

No skin off his nose. He’s no Christian.

[imardmd1]

Pastor Marty doesn't understand that Christians are now no longer on the verge of another of the Dark Ages. They are now irreversibly in it, on several levels. The first is being, as a nation founded by His followers, in God's court--tried, found guilty, and ready for sentencing.

Marty needs to hide his Bible before it's taken away.
