only a vivid and agenda’d dark imagination would portray anything Cruz has said as being part of a Dominion theology. Our Founding principles are based in God’s word, including the part about liberty and freedom, including of religion.
While Santorum and Huckabee often swerve close to dominion theology, Cruz does not. He is a limited government guy, and Dominionism requires a large and powerful and intrusive Fed government. Funny, there are several Republicans well liked around here who also want a powerful and active Fed government.
Thats because quite a few people here aren’t remotely conservative in their views, values or statements. When presented with a conservative or something else to vote for, they pick something else every time and actively work to tank that conservative with liberal talking points and hit pieces. Often, flat out bullshit.
Logic 101. If people wanted conservative governance, they’d vote for conservatives to govern. That they expend so much creative writing in ‘rationalizing’ why we should not elect actual conservatives shows they are at best, moderates. And often something far less principled than that.
I think the worry is more that Ted Cruz would be a convenient vehicle for Dominionists. He wouldn’t have to be one himself.
Personally, I don’t think he is and I don’t think he really surrounds himself with them.
BUT.
If it turned out he did, then watch out.
