Ted Cruz: Like Father, Like Son
American Clarion ^ | May 3, 2015 | Bob Ellis

Posted on 05/03/2015 11:19:01 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is the man I’m enthusiastically (yes, I said enthusiastically) supporting for president in 2016. Cruz has the most consistently conservative record of all the candidates who have announced or are being discussed today. Not one of the most–THE most consistently conservative.

While some Republicans just talk about opposing the Leftist agenda, and some “Republicans” actually help protect and advance the Leftist agenda, it was Ted Cruz who was going to the mat and trying to stop it, like he did with the effort to defund ObamaCare before that unholy mess got started two years ago.

When you know a little about his father, it’s not hard to see why Ted Cruz is so solidly conservative. Rafael Cruz was born in Cuba and suffered under tyranny there before getting out. Afterward, he started life over in another country from scratch, became a born-again Christian and worked to help elect conservatives like Ronald Reagan.

Rafael Cruz said that even as a boy, Ted got a solid education in Biblical worldview from hearing conversations around the kitchen table. A pastor, Rafael points out that the Bible says we are to be salt and light in a decaying and dark world, and that means Christians need to be bringing the light they have received from God to every dark corner of life–including government and politics.

The Left knows Rafael Cruz is its enemy (and tries to demonize him for many of the true things he has said), and Rafael’s son Ted is vilified like no other person in the United States Congress, for the same reason.

I wouldn’t give you a wooden nickel for what someone says when their rhetoric is contradicted by their record (as it is with so many so-called “conservatives“). I’m also not interested in conspiracy theories that may or may not hold water, especially when, again, the record says something different. I’m not even interested in supporting a Republican with an otherwise good record but who starts to pander to the Left when he seeks a higher office. And I darned sure am not interested in allowing the “mainstream” media and other liberals to sell me on the lie that says a real conservative is “too divisive” to be elected president.

Ted Cruz’s record is that of a consistent, principled conservative. If our nation has any hope of being saved from the Leftist cesspool we are already chest-deep in, Ted Cruz in the White House is irreplaceable to that hope.

[Rafael points out that the Bible says we are to be salt and light in a decaying and dark world, and that means Christians need to be bringing the light they have received from God to every dark corner of life–including government and politics.]

When more pastors preach candidly about the issues of our day, there will be a giant step forward in the restoration of the United States.

Oh, so Ted is a right-wing, bible-thumping, conservative Republican?

Sweet, he's got my vote.

Throw in that the CAIR muzzies have marked Ted Cruz as a `disobedient infidel’.

Kinda seals the deal for me.

CRUZ or lose!
