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....

“As someone who has been sexually abused, I remember with appreciation discovering the Bible condemns the injustice done to me.”

“The Biblical witness never mentions monogamous, loving marriage between two men or two women. Which means it’s neither affirmed nor condemned. “

Really? Romans 1: 26-27

http://blog.chron.com/thepeacepastor/2014/05/support-houstons-ndo/

“What I felt was deep shame. I felt dirty, dominated, exposed, and controlled. And unable to trust ever again.
Core memories from childhood center on my inability to feel love, even though I was part of a healthy, safe,
expressive and loving Christian family. I may have screamed over and again, “No one loves me!” But what
I felt was, “I’m not lovable.” The issues were all mine.
When I was abused, the meaning I gave to my story was that it happened because I was expendable
and perceived to be gay. In my undeveloped mind the way you solve such a misperception is prove beyond a shadow of a doubt your heterosexuality. “

Pardon me, but as one who was sexually abused and the abuse was the result from sexual acts that caused so much distress in your life, why do you want to condone it?

It seems that America jurisprudence has locked horns with God’s law.
Wonder who wins? But I also have a “Right” apart from government edict, the right to choose sides!

Also, forgot to mention Democrat KKK and Jim Crowe. The mother of Plan Parenthood ..Margret Sanger who was praised by Hitler for her good work in the field of Eugenics and who wanted to eliminate the black race.
Democrat welfare programs that created Welfare Mothers, single parent homes and Welfare Ghetto. All unintended? consequences of Dem “leadership” Not to mention the unintended? dumbing down of America.

It was condemned as an obamination in the eyes of God in the Old Testament directly.

I think we can assume that the Apostle Paul was well versed in Mosiac law.

Loose? We lost because a majority of the judges are corrupt.

You’re not kidding ! My father was in the Army Infantry in N. Africa, Sicily, Italy & finally, Germany during WWII. IF the war hadn’t ended, if Truman hadn’t used the atomic bomb; Daddy, as a seasoned infantryman shell-shocked all to hell, would have then been on his way headed for Japan where he would have stormed yet another beach & faced Japanese people armed with anything they could find to kill Americans. I’m sick of this crap of liberals second guessing the people of another time facing horrible crises. Spoiled brats!

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.

...

Right, and the decisions are only part of it. The real darkness is the damage to our governing institutions.

And “loose” means something like “my bolts are loose, I’d better tighten them at the gas station.” “Lose” would be the correct word here.

Yeah. “LOOSE”. He can’t spell worth a flip either. I’m sure he meant “LOSE”, if he ever knew the difference, that is. He doesn’t seem to know shoo-shoo from shinola!

I noticed the liberal writer didn’t mention the dozens dead every weekend in the liberal cities.

Liberals don’t say that when they win. They go burn the US flag.

I can’t wait until the liberals have to reconcile with the muslims of faggotry. That’ll be a popcorn moment.

Rhe Supreme Court has usurped the the function of the legislative branch. The law is only is only what the committee of 9 says it is, regardless of the language or intent of Congress.

This is not good and is a major blowout in our system.
