Ted Cruz’ Callous Disregard of History
The Houston Chronicle's The Peace Pastor ^ | June 27, 2015 | Rev. Marty Troyer, Houston Mennonite: The Church of the Sermon on the Mount

Posted on 06/27/2015 12:08:47 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Texas Senator and Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz said 2 Supreme Court rulings were so wrong they constitute one of the “darkest periods” in US history.

I can not even begin to understand the blinders you’d need to wear to make such a callous statement as this.

Slavery. Lynchings. Trail of Tears. Triangle shirtwaste factory. Hiroshima. Nagasaki. My Lai. Kent State. 9/11. Hurricane Katrina. When we first learned about Abu Ghrab. 115 migrants dead in the Texas borderlands in 2014. Even Charleston just last week.

These were dark days folks. People dying is a dark day. People dying because we killed them is an especially dark period in our history.

It is not a dark day when you loose at politics. You fought… you lost. Period....

Communist Goal #27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

And he couldn't be more correct...so far.

LOL The Peace Pastor (™?). Tells me all I need to know. I’d have thought he’d be Unitarian.

Its not losing at politics when Judges make laws against the constition, its criminal. Our supreme court is a mockery of justice at thus point. Somehow I dont think the marxistd and muslims are going to allow themselves to be voted out of office peacefully.

If I had my way no student would be able to graduate high school without first getting a 100% on a civics test, and they would also have to know the difference between Lose, and Loose.

The Triangle Shirt Factory fire was the darkest day in history? A tragedy, of course, that resonates clearly in NYC to this day but hardly the worst day for America. The Supreme Court becoming an unlawful body is certainly one of the worst days in America.

More proof that using “Rev” in front of one’s name doesn’t give them any additional brain power.

The day it became evident we are ruled by tyrants, and the people have no recourse.

It is a horrible thing that only 115 illegals died trying to invade our country. I wish it had been 115 thousand illegal invaders dead at the border. Triple fences and land mines might do the trick.

I repeat...: “88,000 Bibles being shipped to Cuba...

after 50 years of no Bibles being sold in Cuba.”

I wonder if Americans will want to read the Bible...

after 50 Years of HELL.

On his list, nearly everything was either condemned or lead to change for the better. The only thing on there that kept going with government approval was slavery.

I’d like to see someone tell him that the Deed Scott decision was simply a political loss and something the abolitionists needed to accept as the final say.

Stupid fool doesn’t even understand when his
constitutional rights are being violated by
his own government.

There are people out there who purely
deserve what is happening to them.

The rest of us, not so much.

We should have never attacked a peaceful country like Japan, and in doing so, we started WWII.

No, wait...

Cruz said “they constitute one of the “darkest periods” in US history.”

He didn’t say it was THE darkest period in history.

Cruz is exactly right.

Sadly.
