Spare us from these nut jobs for Jesus or Muhammad or whoever the current reason for so-called religious fanatics who go gonzo with a bomb or machete. Does religion spawn them or do they latch onto it to justify nutism? Glenn Beck must have gone off his meds because he’s on the phone to God. Whisky Tango Foxtrot.
Religion Must Not Mix Withe Government. They are like Nitro and Glycerine. Mix them and KABOOM!
The Evangelicals are not better organized than the Americans, they are easier to organize than the Americans. Cruz is crazy for religion but only for his religion which may not be yours in which case he’s against your choice. That’s why he preaches and practices his religion. It’s a blind spot that’s no problem until it mixes with the force of government. The Founders knew that so they made sure not to mix God with Government but for Cruz it’s worse. Like Gleen Beck, Cruz is a lunitic for his religion. Ted Cruz sees a war that doesn’t exist, a war against Christianity . Cruz is not only religious, he’s a religious fanatic who turns his rallies into revival meetings. He actually preached at a political rally by saying:
“And I don’t want occasions like this to end without realizing that God is in control and Ted Cruz is committed to not only conservative philosophy but with conservative theology as well,” he continued. “He’s going to make us a great president to make our nation a great nation again.”
In Iowa before the caucuses, Cruz met with some powerful heavy-hitting evangelicals including James Dobson and Bob Vander Plaats of The Family Leader and continued soliciting prayers for his campaign:
“If we allow non-believers to elect our leaders, we shouldn’t be surprised when our government doesn’t reflect our values,” Cruz said to widespread applause.
Cruz called for increased voter turnout among evangelical caucus-goers, using the type of overtly religious rhetoric that has galvanized support from social conservatives and propelled family-values candidates such as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum to first-place Iowa finishes in 2008 and 2012.
Cruz asked that attendees pray for him by asking for peace for his campaign, for the wisdom granted to the Biblical Solomon and for the well-being of his daughters, Caroline and Catherine.
Remember that the Constitution of the United States possesses no religious litmus test for the presidency. From Article 2, Section I:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Let’s see: Must be natural-born (Cruz is fighting hard on this one!), 35 years old, and a resident within the United States for 14 years. No, I don’t see anything stating, “shall be of the Christian orthodoxy and versed in the ways of Christianity and Christianity alone.”
But for Ted Cruz, this seems to be the only qualification that matters. Answering questions about his loyalty to the Republican party and recent attack ads questioning both that loyalty and his commitment to Christianity, he responded(emphasis added):
“I’m a Christian first, American second, conservative third and Republican fourth,” said Cruz, who is currently a distant second place, behind Trump, for the GOP nomination in several national polls. “I’ll tell ya, there are a whole lot of people in this country that feel exactly the same way.”
Cruz also seems willing to put his money where his mouth is. At an event in New Hampshire recently, he announced his intention to trample both on the First Amendment and the Constitution’s call for a separation of church and state by decreeing that he will make school prayer mandatory. He subsequently doubles down on this:
“Education starts with God,” said Cruz. “From there, all else can be taught. It will increase test scores, stop teen pregnancy, and make America a better place.”
Ted Cruz, while simultaneously chanting that we need to observe the Constitution of the United States, has added his own religious twists to it. From his own website we read the proof:
“Ted Cruz has spent a lifetime fighting to defend the Constitution — our nation’s founding document and the supreme law of the land — which was crafted by our founding fathers to act as chains to bind the mischief of government and to protect the liberties endowed to us by our Creator. Ted Cruz is the most sanctimonious, religiously maniacal hypocrite perhaps to have ever been elected to public office. Ted CruzHe’s a certified Bible-thumping lunatic who expects every person to live by his own version of what Christianity means and will seemingly stop at nothing to enforce his vision and deny every right given to us under our own Constitution which doesn’t fit his vision, while simultaneously touting that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and must equally be defended. This is a challange to anyone to find a way to mesh these hopelessly clashing and contrasting dynamics
