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.

Tyranny of Christian Beliefs = Theocracy.

There is a good example of a theocracy that exists and it is not Christian it is a Muslim Theocracy - Iran

Tyranny of Leftist ideals = is Barack Hussein Obama. A living breathing example of the lefist liberal fascistic ideal is Chicago and many ways Detroit, MI

Your fear of “Tyranny of Christian beliefs” is the biggest load of “Obama” I have read in a long time. The way things are going, the only true fear is the anti-religious tyranny of the left.
