NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Republican Ted Cruz's presidential campaign is rejecting a call to drop an anti-Shariah activist as his state chairman for Tennessee.

Kevin Kookogey, a former chairman of the Williamson County GOP, once criticized Republican Gov. Bill Haslam over the role of a Muslim staffer and a council that has advised two state departments on Islamic affairs.

"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

This will help Cruz here in Tennessee.

[trisham]

God bless Ted Cruz.

I’m sure that Cruz thought about it before he chose him, so there is no reason for him to change his mind, he thought it through, before choosing him in the first place.

[FreedomPoster]

God be praised.

"....the Council on American-Islamic Relations urged Kookogey's removal as Cruz's Tennessee chairman, ...."

Oh, it's just Bammy's Muzzie Broz. butt buddies.

When is the Freedom From Religion Foundation going to tell C.A.I.R.to get lost?

[21twelve]

The writer sure makes sure they have “anti-muslim” and anti-Islamic in there to make it look like we are hateful. The only trouble - it makes it a double negative I think.

Shouldn’t it just be islamic fear mongering?

Regardless - good on Ted Cruz.

Why would anyone support the implementation of religious law, especially muslim religious law?

[Fledermaus]

I was on Kevin’s side with this ( I’ve met him a few times here in Franklin, TN), Gov. Haslam is another RINO jerk like Lamar and Corker.

Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with my fellow Tennesseans, espcially East TN folk.

[LeoWindhorse]

[freeangel]

It should help him everywhere if word can get out.

[freedomfiter2]

Way to go, Ted!

[cripplecreek]

True, its a simple equal protection matter. We’re supposed to have 1 set of laws for all with no exceptions.

[American Constitutionalist]

So what is the Cruz haters next ploy is ? Their next tatic ? Since what they tried on TPA hasn’t worked.

What are they going to say here ?

That Ted Cruz is a religious bigot against Muslims ?

I love that crazy graphic there. Where is that one where the figure is at the keyboard, starts banging his head on it, until you see a little red that systematically increases to a blood bath? That is hilarious too!!!
