Here is the link to the Crowder-Cruz interview.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Oh right this is SALON....

Socialist
Anarchist/AntiChrist
Liberal
Orthodoxy
Nut-Jobs

Just helping out. The writer is a hateful SOB, that's for sure.

[MrEdd]

The publication (Salon) openly defends and promotes pedophilia.
No shock that they hate the cause of Christ.

[Sir_Humphrey]

I read articles from the right, the left and in the middle. Salon never disappoints when laying bare the way the far left thinks - what they are (have been, will always be) teaching, reporting and campaigning for - it pries eyes wide open to get a real good look at what we’re fighting. I find it interesting that you object to exposing them. Salon doesn't’t have to be excerpted and since many do not click on a link, I like to post full texts when it’s allowed.

I could not agree more. Unfortunately most people do not actually click through and read the articles. They simply post a knee jerk and often off topic reply to the headline. It's not unique to the FR, it is just how things seem to roll these days on the Internet.

The liberal buzz phrase of wanting to set up a theocracy is used in this article. It's funny because the author also is one who doesn't listen to the content of the speech and builds the typical liberal argument on a pre conceived notion that has nothing to what Cruz or the female follower in question actually said.

Where has critical thinking gone these days? (I am talking specifically about the left in this case)

“despite the fact that American Christians are the most entitled and privileged people in the history of the planet”

Anything to back that up?

[wbarmy]

Why are you berating him for posting the whole thing? Every time I seen an excerpt in the other threads, every lambastes them for putting an excerpt.

If you do not like this, scroll down.

If you do not like articles from Salon, don’t read them.

And I happen to like knowing what the enemy is thinking, gives me time to think up a reasonable retort when somebody pesters me. Most of the retorts I learn from Free Republic.

[piasa]

My first question to you is why is Salon your favorite “go to” for stuff to post on FR? Do you live there? Why do you always post trash from that liberal dump?

One could just as easily ask why did you click on the thread if you don't want to read it? Why post lib stuff? Simple. Because if you want to defeat your enemy you must study your enemy. It lets you know what they fear and why they fear. This article tells us a lot about the state of lib "mental health" - aside from the expected nuttiness, this is a sign of a distinct change in lib demeanor from confidence to despair.

And second, Have you never heard of the word “excerpt”? You insist on posting the entire text of articles, in opposition to FR policy.

Since she's been here far longer than you... she probably is well aware of policy. Some sites require excerpting others do not. What business is it of yours?

Third, I doubt you are anyone’s “wife”.

Who cares? what's your point?

Your stuff just wastes bandwidth big time.

Don't be silly. 1. If posting this, which has no images or video "wastes bandwidth" then so does your complaint posted on her thread. Why are you "wasting bandwidth?"

2. Don't you think the web site owner can handle his own affairs?

3. Who made you thread policeman?

4. Why fib and pretend to be concerned about bandwidth? Maybe what really bothers you is that other people have their own opinions? Why don't you just come out and say you want to censor other people? What are you afraid of? Do you think everyone else is inferior to you and therefor needs your protection?

And exposes you as a nobody seeking your fifteen minutes of fame.

Why the personal attack? She didn't attack you. Maybe your own 15 minutes of fame are up? Are you some kind of stalker that got all wee weed up on another thread and another topic and can't let it go?

Might as well post from Democratic Underground for all the good you are doing posing on a conservative website.

Since she has never proposed censoring another freeper and you have, and you also have the liberal trait of wanting to "save" other people from mere words rather than an interest in debate, I think you are the one on the wrong site, or else you are too emotionally involved here about something to be objective. Trying to shut down other people's ideas, and trying to put down someone who has given no cause, is either a liberal tactic, or else it indicates insecurity. In case you haven't noticed there are people posting from all kinds of sites- Iranian propaganda "Press TV," tons of stuff from Russian sources, "al Jazeerah," etc.

Perpetuating liberal garbage like this.

Why would you prefer to be ignorant of what liberals are talking and worrying about about? Do you not know what a scout is and why scouting is important? NOt to mention you don't seem to have a sense of humor. I find liberal stuff very amusing.

[jjotto]

entitled and privileged = hardest working

[Blue Collar Christian]

“It sounds like this writer (anthropologist) is a self-hating Christian.”

It is doubtful any Christians contribute to Salon.

[a fool in paradise]

What a crumbum this reporter is.

Does Cruz really think Obama sees himself as holier than the pope? It doesn't matter.

Hell yes.

Even Nancy Pelosi took to 'correcting' a Pope on Catholic doctrine regarding abortion and birth control.

[dila813]

Sad that this guy doesn’t know that this country was first populated with a majority of people being persecuted for their religion.

The Christians are still the world’s number one persecuted religious group.

[a fool in paradise]

Does he really think Obama is a communist? I doubt it. But tarring Obama with that label obviously works, especially since half of his audience doesn't know what communism is, only that it is evil. And certainly out-group.

Are we going to have the debate as to whether Communism is evil all over again?

Again, what a DUmmy.

[a fool in paradise]

After all, despite the fact that American Christians are the most entitled and privileged people in the history of the planet

I would've thought aristocracies or perhaps Egyptian pharaohs were more entitled in all of history. Birthright godhood.

[a fool in paradise]

I thought entire articles were okay, just excerpting where excerpting was a requirement from the source site.

[a fool in paradise]

I see he’s written only a handful of articles for salonutjobmedia and this was the teaser for his second one:

“At an under-the-radar town hall in Des Moines, Sanders had the crowd begging for more. Here’s why it matters”

The rest of his articles are hatchet pieces against the GOP candidates (old and new).

Question about the link in the original post:

It states that the overwhelming majority of people coming here from Syria are Muslim instead of Christian. I don’t know the numbers, but I would assume that 90 something percent of the refugees are Muslim, so I am not sure that is discriminatory.

Hope Cruz wins, though.

National Geographic channel has a miniseries starting tomorrow about the pilgrims called “Saints and Strangers”

I plan to take a look but naturally coming from Nat Geo is reason for concern.

[ExGeeEye]

I took your advice to heart.

Now having done so...

I beg to repeat the lady’s question.

[dila813]

I saw the promos, looks good

[cripplecreek]

I just worry that the show will portray the Christians as hyper-religious hypocrites who are on a single minded mission to convert or kill the indians.
