In addition to being right, Ted is shrewd.
Actually “leftist nihilism” is a better term
“there is no room for Christians in today’s Democratic Party”
Like Obama is doing for Iran, the Democrat party has provided Ted Cruz with unlimited access to nuclear weapons and the above quote is the latest one launched against them, coming from their own silo.
I like Cruz more every single day. He does something unheard of.... he doesn’t care what the pundits and opponents think of him. And by opponents, I mean GOP and revolutionary socialist. (I have moved away from the term “democrat” for that party)
I liked the persuasive argument Cruz made to back up his assertion that there is no room for faithful Christians in the extreme, radicalized modern Democrat Party.
Cruz compared the unambiguous statement of Democrat President John F. Kennedy strongly supporting religious liberty with a vote of the 2014 Democrat-controlled Senate on a bill that would gut the Federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act following the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision. There were 55 Democrats in the Senate, and ZERO would stand for religious liberty.
The setup and portion of the Cruz speech where he makes this argument can be watched at this link queued to the pertinent time >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrx2zbzL0Tg&t=8m25s
Go, Ted, Go!!!
Cruz says what needs to be said in no uncertain terms. That’s why I would not support any other candidate (although I might possibly vote for Walker, even though I don’t think he’s the guy we need).
I support Cruz, but I no more want a tyranny of leftist beliefs than I want a Tyranny of Christian beliefs.
The Constitution is a frame that allows for ideas, religious or secular, to stand up on their own two legs when challenged. The subtle issue here is that America was created around the assumption of a Judeo Christian moral authority that originated from God, who is the author of our natural rights. This speaks to the understanding of right and wrong as codified in the 10 Commandments and the notion that one’s rights cease where they cause injury to another’s rights. This is an essential companion to our belief in individual liberties. It is the moral responsibility that accompanies those beliefs. Some Christians want to go farther and impose religious doctrine on other’s individual rights.
The leftist have no belief in natural rights or a moral code originating from higher authority. Therefore, they need government to define, regulate and compel “right” thought and behavior and to forbid deviance. This is the antithesis of individual liberty.
“Liberal fascism” is redundant.
When are we going to drop the “liberal” misnomer (”liberal” means a lover of liberty) and simply say Democrats are home to fascism.
Ted is being too polite.
Thank you Ted for saying this.
I read Ted's words several times. So refreshing. Like water for a thirsty man.
Now we need to hear it boldly pronounced by more and more proud traditional Americans at every opportunity.
Democrats are the party of intolerance and extremism!
First they came for the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.
They have already evolved to regular fascism
“Sen. Ted Cruz argued Saturday that Democrats have become so extreme and “intolerant” of religious views that “there is no room for Christians in today’s Democratic Party.”
Bravo! Don’t you just love the way Ted uses the democrats’ lexicon against them? Extreme and intolerant!
He is “correctomundo”.
>> “there is no room for Christians in today’s Democratic Party.”
I am astonished at the volume of hatred I’m seeing towards Christianity.
-Ted Cruz.
TED CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT!!!
