The author must be exhausted from manufacturing so much phony outrage...
Yea and a lot of cheshires who slammed Cruz yesterday were proud Romneybots as well. Gee...what are the odds?
Chew on that, Pascal.
The Week is weak.
Too many “sources” and “writers” are progressive.
But...when SHTF, it’s extra wiping material.

Gee, no wonder his panties were in a wad! Go Ted!
The occupation of the West Bank? By international law, the East Bank also belongs to the Jews (the artificial country of Jordan). The anti-Semites and TAC and their brainless followers should be careful what they harp on.
If you support Israel, you can’t support Christians? Three thousand years of Judeo-Christian tradition out the window?
I think this writer is committing some logical fallacy—”All or nothing?”—but I see from the comments that he’s a cheese-eating, Parasitic, surrender monkey.
So who cares what he thinks. Not me.

Perhaps the Christian community has been giving lip service to their support of Israel. When Senator Cruz asked for them to step up to the plate, they showed thin support. Christians should be showing solidarity with their Jewish brothers with deeds. Give them hell Ted!
It is well past time to fight fire with fire. Conservatives are entirely too passive and that MUST change or conservatives end up becoming extinct, IMO.
I don’t claim to know the motives behind TC’s choice of topics.
But it was very poorly chosen. If an American had gone to Dublin in 1940 and given a speech about supporting the brave Englishmen fighting Hitler, I would have expected a similar reaction.
Not because what he was saying was untrue, but because the Irishmen in the audience had a long and sad history of conflict with the English, one the American just didn’t share.
IOW, it looks like TC gave a speech that would have been well received at a Southern Baptist meeting. Not so much where many of the attendees were ethnic Arabs, whose ethnic brothers had fought many wars against the Israelis. Rights or wrongs of those wars can be argued indefinitely, but it isn’t reasonable to expect them to love each other.
Here’s the comment that first drew boos. “And today, Christians have no greater ally than the Jewish state. [mixed applause, boos, “come on”]”

It is entirely to be expected that Palestinian Arab Christians would not feel that they have “no greater ally than the Jewish state.”
There are only two possibilities here. TC foresaw the response that such comments would get from this audience and went ahead with them anyway, for some obscure reason. Or he didn’t, and that doesn’t say good things about his judgment.
Some day there will FINALLY be people speaking out about the non-stop outrageous levels of black on white crime in America. When this topic is FINALLY breached, will Cruz join for a speech? I would bet any amount of money that he would. I also bet any amount of money that some dumbsnot staffer of his would write the first two paragraphs of his speech praising Affirmative Action.
I support Cruz all the way, I support Israel as well. I want the man to be President. I want his handlers to be smarter. NOW!
The author is a tool of CAIR.
what a krappy IslamoNazi propaganda piece,
thanks for posting it because it reminds us
just how screwed up
some of the media are
these days
anytime the article writer wants to find out some real facts, he can stop with his antiSemitic krap and take his ass to live in any of the IslamoNazi paradises he is so fond of, maybe Syria or Iran or Iraq or Saudi (where they won’t even let him in) or Yemen or Egypt, and find out just how much fin it is to be a “Christian” in an IslamoNazi or Islamicist or Islam.period country.......then he will (if he’s not crucified or beheaded) ... run for the safety of USA (or Israel)
and if he ever writes again,he will at least know something about what he says
Is there some reason that I should pay attention to this weasel of a writer?
Cruz stands on principle. One of the few in office that does so.
That really infuriates the status quo.
The author must be exhausted from manufacturing so much phony outrage...
ps: As for Ted Cruz, he looked real good ...
real, really good!
if the Christian world won’t even speak up for the most basic Christian morals
we will seal our own fate
(and it ain’t pretty, the Islamics frequently like to murder or torment Christians and burn churches, and now they are even crucifying and beheading Christians ...
But why should it be considered (by some) to be impossible to stand firmly against both anti-Christian bigotry and anti-Jewish bigotry (i.e. anti-Semitism)?
I think Sen. Cruz was exactly right on this point.
Persecuted ‘Christians’ are antis emotes?
No.
Whatever Ted Cruz did here and I have no doubt He is not cynical. There’s a difference between wise and cynical. It was not to enrage a group of bigots claiming Jesus Christ as their inspiration
They have total responsibility for their actions.
The day before, members of the same group, holding a conference under the name In Defense of Christians, booed and shouted down keynote speaker Senator Ted Cruz"
