I swear, I can’t make any sense of your posts.
You sure seem angry though.
I would rather you quit being so goofy and start making some sense.
I think the point of the thread is to criticize Cruz for being too Christian, and that there is no risk of that with Walker.
Thank you for the post, both the column and your addition were very interesting. I am terror-stricken at our huge loss of religious freedom and it gets worse every day. Personally I don’t know whether I prefer Cruz making it a focal point of his campaign or Walker keeping it an inherent part of his foundation but not focal point.
Either way, I trust both of them completely with regard to religious liberty.
Is Cincinatus’ wife a supporter of Walker? If so, your analysis is probably right. Walker supporters look to cast their man superior to Cruz, both being pretty close in the polls.
This thread sure is a strange approach to it.
It seems to go right at the Christians and the faithful of the GOP.
Sorry, Moore may think he represents many evangelicals, but I don’t believe that. I’m Independent Baptist, not Southern, and I know better. Yes, we will be looking for that candidate he said we wouldn’t be. And this Mary Jo person - what on earth is “apologetics” and to whom do Christians owe any?? And yes, we better do some dividing.
I don’t want to try to write a long essay on this; it isn’t worth the time. I’m just saying these people are wrong, and they’re sure not the kind of Baptist (or conservative) I am.
If you lack the backbone to reject judicial tyranny and fight for religious liberty, you have no business serving our nation as President of the United States,
Mike Huckabee
I support Ted Cruz first, but Mike nailed it on this issue.
“Sorry, Moore may think he represents many evangelicals, but I dont believe that.”
I am beginning to think that Moore doesn’t represent Southern Baptists either.
Thank you for making the point clear.
bttt
Thank you for taking a stab at it. I get your points but I’m wondering how best to insure (the approach to take/raise the odds) so that we don’t end up with another socialist in the White House.
Having the right convictions doesn’t help when you’re on the outside battling and not on the inside leading.
This is about campaigns/campaigning (they’re running to be elected president of the United States of America) and their focus needs to be centered there - fight to win.
I know that there are a lot of good ideas and good people in our ranks.
They see religious liberty correctly as crucial, so how best to make sure we have that truth come out of the Executive?
Just saw this and will add it to the discussion:
Bush and Cruz on Religious Liberty: Same Message, Radically Different Deliveries
By Alexis Levinson June 19, 2015
“....................................In his speech today, Bush spoke of his record, saying he would never espouse the politically correct notion that his faith would not influence his political decisions.
The end point is a certain kind of politician that weve all heard before, the guy whose moral convictions are so private, so deeply personal, that he refuses to even impose them on himself, Bush said. Well, thats not me.
But he at times seemed most focused on getting through to the end of his speech.
Weve always left things better for the next generation. Can we honestly say today that thats the case? We cant. But we can fix it. I honestly believe we can, Bush said, and the crowd began to applaud. But instead of pausing, he continued speaking, picking up his pace. Though there was a giant clock facing the stage that tracked each speakers remaining time, event organizers took no visible steps to end a speech if it went over.
In direct interactions with voters, Bush earns rave reviews. But the former Florida governor has been criticized in the past for his speech delivery, and that was on display Friday. Whereas in his presidential announcement Monday he seemed confident and collected if at times bashful at the crowds adoring cheers on Friday much of that seemed to be gone.
The growing field of 2016 Republican presidential candidates includes gifted orators Cruz and Rubio perhaps the most notable. Bush begins the race as a frontrunner, but his ability to deliver on a big stage remains unproven.”
