Rev. Rafael Cruz: ‘There is an Attack on Christianity’ in America
Cybercast News Service ^ | May 23, 2014 - 11:20 AM | Lauretta Brown

Rev. Rafael Cruz, director of Purifying Fire Ministries and father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), said the Christian church in America is under attack “more and more every day,” and noted that many pastors are afraid of losing their tax-exempt status if they speak out on political issues.

Cruz stressed, however, that “no church in America has ever lost its tax-exempt status for speaking on what’s happening in the country.” […]

In his address at the Pastor’s Briefing, Rev. Cruz exhorted pastors to speak out on issues such as abortion and homosexual “marriage.”

“The question is how long are we going to remain silent,” said Rev. Cruz. “Will God hold us accountable for our silence?” …

“Those who claim to stay and fight have yet to give me one example of how they can or will do that”. There you go again lyin’ your cowardly butt off. Go back thru some of the DAWG’S past posts and you will see what is recommended as what ‘fighting back’ could entail. You might need your “Washing Machine” to explain to your America bashing self what ‘fight’ means but that is okay, (WM: Mista Alec, Mista Alec, my ancestors fought for the Phillippines, why you not fight for America? Why warn Americans to run like the scared rabbit you are? Why FReeper DAWGS call you chickensh&t?”), you most likely don’t have a clue. WHERE IS THE QUOTE TURDLETTE?

"Those that claim to stay and fight, have yet to give me one example of how they can or will do that."

We could explain guerrilla tactics to you 'til we're blue in the face, but it would do no good, because you're a cowardly chickens**t who would wet his pants at the very thought of having to man up and defend his nation. Furthermore, we wouldn't tell you how we're going to do anything because of this thing called OPSEC. Since you have not one single solitary minute of military service time, you don't know what that is, so Google it.

Lastly, why the hell do you even care? You're the chickens**t worm who deserted his nation 10 years ago to live in Turd World sewers from Eastern Europe to the Philippines. You're the worthless scumbag who bashes the greatest nation in history, yet still has to live off the sweat of we Americans to buy your bottle of red wine a day. You're the lying sack of horse crap that's going to be dragged away to a pineapple grove at the hands of Muzzie rebels and get his headed sawed off by a dull, rusty machete. Why do you even care? No, you don't hear crickets chirping...you hear Dawg Soldiers growling every time you open your filthy, rotten sewer hole of a mouth to bash our Republic, only you're too much of a lying, yellow-bellied coward to acknowledge us calling you out.

Which reminds me...where's the quote, scumbag? You lying worm, produce the quote where I supposedly said what you accused me of. Lowlife cowardly sack of chicken crap...

Dawg Soldiers up! Grrrrrrrrrr...

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.

We have only a vote, and we are outvoted.

No, Al, we don't only have a vote.

We also have our refusal.

But then you are, by your own admission, not into "sheepdogs".

It’s not churches I’m worried about (yet), it’s individual Christians who are being ground down.

When this pogrom is finished, dominating formal church organizations will just be icing on the Left’s cake.

Al, Today is Memorial Day here in America.

You know, the day we honor those who DIDN’T run away.

Put a sock in it, chum.

I've not seen the movie, but I love that clip. It's spot on, and I wish Idaho Gov. Butch Otter had watched and taken it to heart before knuckling under to the Obammunists and agreeing to create a state "insurance exchange". I'd have heartily voted for him in the primary had he refused to participate in Obammunistcare, and instead invited every health insurance company to compete for business in an open Idaho market.

BTW, after having recently re-watched "The Pianist", it occurs to me that state "insurance exchanges" are something akin to the Jewish police in the Warsaw ghetto. But I digress.

Oh yeah...hey Alex, where's the quote, you lying worm? You miserable, yellow-bellied scumbag? I'm still calling you out, little girl.

Dawg soldiers up! Grrrrrrrr...

Churches are exempt from tax under the First Amendment, not the IRS code. They were considered tax exempt before there was an IRS. That is why there is an automatic exemption for them.

I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite, but it’s certainly in the Top 5.

“We have only a vote, and we are outvoted.”

What’s this ‘we’ nonsense, got a mouse in your pocket?

Still beating the same tired boring drum ‘eh?
“whattda we do, whattda we do?”

Did you pray today Al? Did you consider anyone other than yourself today Al?

God Bless America, land of the free and the BRAVE
