I was terrified at first when I read that Cruz asked churches to reinforce what marriage really is. Even I was indoctrinated by the left to think that religion should never be mentioned in a political race. But now I realize I was wrong. Go for it!!
This was NEVER supposed to be an atheist nation. It was a Christian nation that tolerated other religions. More in line with Israel.
Now it is an abomination and Cruz can bring us back to where we need to be.

Perhaps Cruz can lead the nation toward constitutional reclamation.

I say “toward” because no man can entirely reverse in four or eight years what took our nation a hundred years to achieve.

Obama has gathered arbitrary, despotic powers into the executive branch. IOW, the precedent of tyranny has been established.

Of course, no one expects anything but exemplary behavior from a Cruz administration. The problem is that like it or not, our government runs on precedent far more than the rule of the supreme law of the land, our constitution.

Ultimately, unless our governing institutions are reformed simultaneously with a Cruz presidency, subsequent presidents will have Obama’s despotic powers. Whatever Cruz does will be a flash in the pan, a nostalgic few years for conservatives, much like those of Ronaldus Magnus.

My hope is for Cruz to blow the doors off standard presidential campaigns, and announce his support for an Article V state convention to return to a senate of the states and restore vertical separation of powers.

Amen.

Freedom of Religion was never meant to mean that it was NOT to be mentioned in public.

And I carry a little Constitution/Declaration of Independence (stuck in my holster!) around with me just to prove certain things when the discussion comes up.

What’s IN the Booklet:

1. Freedom of Speech
2. Freedom of Religion
3. Freedom of the Press
4. Freedom to peaceably Assemble
5. Freedom to carry firearms
6. Freedom from the quartering of soldiers in my home
7. Freedom from unwarranted search and seizure
8. Freedom not to incriminate myself
9. Right to Life
10. Right to Liberty
11. Right to pursue happiness

What’s NOT in there (neither document)

1. Right to an abortion
2. Right to own a house
3. Right to not be offended
4. Right to taxpayer-funded healthcare
5. Right to taxpayer-funded housing
6. Right to taxpayer-funded education
7. Right to taxpayer-funded college loans with no need to repay
8. Right to a cell phone
9. Right to the Internet
10. Right to change my gender at taxpayers expense
11. Right to force other people to celebrate my sinful lifestyle
12. Right to take from others if I like what I see and want it for myself
13. Right to enter the country illegally and take a job away from someone who lives here

I mean...I am not a Constitutional Scholar, but I can read.

LOL!
