Ted Cruz: Gay Community Waging 'Jihad' Against Religious Freedom

During a presidential candidate forum hosted by an Iowa homeschool group yesterday, Ted Cruz lashed out at the gay community for waging a “jihad” against so-called religious freedom laws in states such as Arkansas and Indiana.

Cruz, speaking at a panel moderated by conservative talk show host Steve Deace, who regularly castigates the “Rainbow Jihad,” told the crowd of homeschooling activists that they should fear “the jihad that is being waged right now in Indiana and Arkansas, going after people of faith who respect the biblical teaching that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”

By condemning this gay “jihad,” Cruz said, he could “bring people together” to defend religious freedom.

Other likely candidates present at the forum included Gov. Bobby Jindal and past Iowa caucus victors former Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Sen. Rick Santorum.

"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

"We are seeing a great awakening.
A national movement of We the People, brought together by what unites us -
a shared love of liberty, and an understanding of
the unlimited potential of free men and free women."

My only disagreement is the fact that its not just gays. Its liberalism using turdburglars as shock troops.

[Theodore R.]

Cruz is right, but I fear the American people are wrong.

[kaehurowing]

Ted Cruz is absolutely right.

[American Constitutionalist]

Ted Cruz speaking it like it is....

Where are the other candates speaking out against the gay’s jhad on religious freedom ?

Rand Paul ? And Rand Paul supporters what have you got to say about the gay’s jhad on religious freedom ?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

[kaehurowing]

Amen, brother.

[American Constitutionalist]

Agreed, it’s gays, feminists, liberals, the media, and our government....

[MaxMax]

I can see the Walker/Paul/Jeb -bots on the board now saying he supports Jihad
against Religious Freedoms.

They're lying about everything else. I wonder how long they'll be tolerated
before the Zot carpet bombing begins.

[cripplecreek]
