These sniveling professional proglodyte politicians view it as their right to, with the stroke of their pen, make criminals out of citizens who will not bend to these tyrants. We need term limits to get the Feinstein pigs out of DC. Read the book by Erne Lewis, Tyranny requires, An act of Self Defense.

How do we defend the child porn vs gun types argument? To me it is just common sense that child porn is bad and gun types are not any more deadly than another.

Do we say that child porn is equal to bazookas (which we can't own)? I am wondering everyone's thoughts here.

Cruz surely IS the real deal.

Shame really

But he has gotten as far as he can go because he was born in Canada. The same people who decry “birthers” would become the biggest birthers even though both parents were American citizens at the time of Cruz’s birth

If you have no ultimate basis for truth, there is no valid way to say that child porn is bad and gun ownership is good.

The only way to be able to say that is to have an ultimate objective reference.

With a Biblical worldview, it’s really clear and easy to show where child porn is evil and personal defense is righteous.

They had best be careful what they wish for.

The idiots can surely see the empty shelves. Are they trying to provoke a response and then find something to blame the police state on?

We must choose our moment to stop them. In the next election we must show no quarter on them. There are already 2 recall petitions for state office related to 2nd Amendment abuse.

At this rate, there won’t be a “next” election that doesn’t involve voting from the rooftops...

Because it's appropriate to soil it with the blood of a tyrant.

Agreed. Libs don’t recognize the values in the Bible. How could the argument be won? Perhaps it is just as simple as good vs. evil intent...

Believe it or not, some sheeperals do have “good intent” when it comes to their issues. They just don’t have the basis for seeing that what they want to do is actually evil.

That’s where the subjective and the objective are at odds.

I haven’t met one of these libs yet that I can get to engage in the logical conversation that leads to them realizing that they have no basis for judging good and evil without the Bible.

They usually fall back to “it just IS” or some collective agreement as the basis of their judgement. Either one is easily refutable, but they won’t and can’t think any deeper.

Suppose your neighbor gets drunk and accidentally kills someone in a drunken driving incident. But, 2 days before, another neighbor’s house went up in flames and the one neighbor went inside the burning house to rescue 3 children and the neighbor’s elderly mother.

When his intoxication manslaughter case goes to court, should he be given a pass because he saved the neighbor’s family? Should our system of laws be conditional in order to be “more fair”? Should murderers serve lesser sentences because they were abused as children or helped the homeless?

Laws exist to provide guidance and control over societies. Once we start to water them down and make them conditional, it leads to chaos and disorder. History has numerous examples of societies breaking down over issues such as this.

I would love it if, 4 years from now (if he wanted), Cruz could be a POTUS candidate. But, the Founders had good reasons for writng the Constitution they way that they did. Most conservatives believe that the Founders were highly intelligent and thoughtful men who tried to take every situation into consideration before codifying their ideas and memorializing them in our founding documents.

If you believe, like Al Gore does, that the Constitution is a living document and should be changed to match the whims of society, you might want to re-consider whether you are really a conservative or not. I’m not saying that you aren’t a conservative, but if you believe that the Constitution should be changed because someone doesn’t agree with a given provision, that belief goes against the values typically held by conservatives.

So far, Ted Cruz is proving to be everything we wanted him to be. The question must be considered whether 6 years in Washington will change him as it does to so many conservatives. And, while he may be prohibited from being POTUS by the Constitution, it doesn’t mean that he can’t be VPOTUS. As a VPOTUS and president of the Senate, he could still accomplish a great many things on behalf of America and conservatives.

But, to respond to your post, the law is what it is. And, once we begin changing the law because of this or that circumstance, we begin the ride down a slippery slope that has only bad things associated with it.

And, I believe that even Senator Cruz would agree with that.
