Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's annual conference in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. He address the Internal Revenue Service invasive questioning conservative groups and ObamaCare birth control mandates.

"The idea that our federal government is going after our religious liberty now is just astonishing and heartbreaking," Cruz said. "No time in our nation's history have we seen threats like these to our religious liberty."

Cruz blasted President Barack Obama's foreign policy failures: "We see our foreign policy collapsing every week as the world is getting more and more dangerous."

He cited Meriam Yahya Ibrahim Ishag, a Christian woman who was sentenced to death in Sudan for refusing to denounce her faith. Cruz argued, "Christians are being persecuted in stunning numbers ... we need the United States to say in no uncertain terms, 'Send Meriam home."

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

Never mind foreign policy failures - the Dream Stream might as well be millions of communist soldiers pouring across the borders with rifles, tanks and planes.

They will convert our country into a 'worker's paradise' just as surely.

[Vinylly]

Cruz is certainly right but still the left is oblivious of it.

[doorgunner69]

They will convert our country into a 'worker's paradise' just as surely.

IOW, a permanent democrat voting majority, which is the plan behind it all.

An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune governing system mistakenly [or purposefully] attacks and destroys healthy body tissue politic. There are more than 80 a zillion different types of autoimmune disorders.

From the Chambers to the

That should help. Doc WoC

The biggest threat to this country is government dependence. That was the difference between electing Reagan in 1980, and re-electing Obama in 2012.

[HiTech RedNeck]

At the forefront of it all... please remember to call God into your picture. No victory against evil can be won without His presence and help.

[Organic Panic]

The moron class that voted TWICE for Obama is the biggest threat we have.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I’d point to the obverse: it is attempts to not depend on God, or to depend on things that are not-God. Government is the idol du jour but many idols are possible.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Agree. That was what brought on the government dependence I noted in the post before yours.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

That is, abandoning God for the false god of government.

[HiTech RedNeck]

They were only the vessel, the vehicle, of evil, at the time. The perennial temptation is to write them all off as permanent anathema, whilst making proud statements of superiority, but that is exactly the wrong move as well as erroneous.

We have an actual battle between hell and heaven here. The future will favor the one we cheer for.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Government has become one false god. But there are others. Any time we find we have started strutting it’s time to check if we just fell into the arms of another one.

[353FMG]

The left IS the threat that we’re facing in this country.

[McGruff]

He may be right.

[grania]

Don’t blame the voters for Obama. We’ll get someone even worse next election if the backstabbing RINOs force the nomination of another born loser who inspires no one.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

“The left IS the threat that we’re facing in this country.”

The left includes a lot of different people. IMHO much of what is happening was/is part of the plan. If you were in a communist/socialist nation intelligence agency and were charged with finding ways to make Khrushchev’s proclamation that ‘we will bury you without firing a shot’ come true, you would clearly use the openness of American society to achieve that aim. It’s very straightforward: e.g. 1) cause dissension by using socioeconomic divisions, racial groups, religious groups, and gender to pit Americans against Americans. 2) Encourage policies that will cause rapid demographic shifts - concentrating on increasing the numbers of those coming from groups that traditionally have issues with America and colonialism. 3) Use the American desire/value to be ‘fair’ and ‘inclusive’ to undermine nationalism. etc. etc.

The threat originally came from the outside. It is now entrenched within. We have our work cut out.

[Old Yeller]

Unprecedented because we’ve never had so many enemies within.

[Jack Hammer]

Not entirely unprecedented - we’ve been fighting communism for sixty years, just not communism espoused by individuals in the White House and in congress.
