Ted Cruz: Gay Marriage Among ‘Greatest Threats We’ve Ever Seen’
[su_publirb]
Ted Cruz feels really threatened by gays.
“We are seeing today profound threats to religious liberty in America, I think the greatest threats we’ve ever seen,” Cruz told conservative author and talk radio host Eric Metaxas.
Cruz said that the fights over “religious freedom” laws in Indiana and Arkansas were “heartbreaking” examples of how the Democratic Party has “gotten so extreme and so radical in its devotion to mandatory gay marriage that they’ve decided there’s no room for the religious liberty protected under the First Amendment.”
He added that while “Democrats joined with big business in vilifying an effort to protect our religious liberty,” too many Republican leaders and presidential candidates “ran and hid in the hills.”
“We’re a nation that was founded by men and women who were fleeing religious oppression and coming to seek out a land where everyone of us could worship God Almighty with all of our hearts, minds and souls, and that is under profound jeopardy today,” Cruz said.

Humph. I thought Ted Cruz was one of the greatest threats we’ve ever seen.
Jeffrey Samuels May 14th, 2015 at 3:10 pm
He is right about one thing. The Puritans did come over here to avoid what they considered religious oppression. The oppression turned out to be that English law wouldn’t let them discriminate against folks not belonging to their religion. Go figure!
Larry Schmitt May 14th, 2015 at 3:35 pm
That’s what bigots do. If you don’t support their bigotry, you are the bigot.

And the Mormons went to Utah……..
Chris May 14th, 2015 at 4:48 pm
Right you are. When the Puritans came over here, they were “free.”
Free to oppress whoever was around.

and they ate the indians for dessert after the big turkey day!
Budda May 14th, 2015 at 3:31 pm
Cruz has been wrong about everything. Still keeping that perfect record.
cogitoergodavesum May 14th, 2015 at 3:34 pm
He actually said “devotion to MANDATORY gay marriage.” He’s got the loon/idiot, Alex Jones/Sarah Palin vote locked up now.
whatthe46 May 14th, 2015 at 3:36 pm
this is why they won’t win.
Carla Akins May 14th, 2015 at 3:38 pm
Becuase infrastructure, income disparity, and I don’t know….actual terrorists aren’t a bigger threat?

Schools falling down around students heads, teachers having to provide students with school materials out of their own pockets, homeless vets and the list goes on.

I’m sure the general population is suffering all kinds of pain from this tremendous injustice, and they can’t wait to repeal it. I’m sure you have lots of video of demonstrations against this Christian-persecuting crime. Right? Come on, we can’t let down all those steadfast bigots on the right.
fahvel May 15th, 2015 at 3:29 am
oh yeah – and they are all in the xian toilet bowl, being devoured by all the marriages which go against the will of god and all I need to do to support my claim is ask pat robertson, a man of all knowing and good pal of god. All of em are nuts!!!!!!!!!!!! By them I mean evangelical looney tune xians and, ah hell, any evangelical of any faith – all nuts.

From the looks of his nose his dad must have pulled him around with it when he was a kid…………come with me Teddy I want to show you something…………OWWW! My right ear sticks out a little farther than the left because my mom always wanted to show me something.
Suzanne McFly May 14th, 2015 at 5:10 pm
We’re a nation that was founded by men and women who were fleeing religious oppression
Oh hell no!!! Your actions show you believe women are second class citizens, don’t include us in your form of America now so you can put us in our place later.
Ormond Otvos May 14th, 2015 at 8:46 pm
Actually, Puritans were kicked out of a series of countries, including the famously liberal Netherlands, for being just like Ted Cruz, incredibly nutty.
Suzanne McFly May 16th, 2015 at 8:04 pm
I was quoting what was said in the article, I just forgot to include the “quotation marks”.
fahvel May 15th, 2015 at 3:26 am
actually america was founded by a bunch of folks who were thrown out of england and given a boat that was supposed to sink. They then opened the doors to the scavenging animals of western europe in order to rape the land after annihilating the already domestic residents of the western hemisphere.

Gay marriage is a threat? To whom exactly? Look at any state, or country for that matter, where same sex marriage is legal. Who is hurt? I want proof. They keep making this claim, and like most of their claims, they have bupkis to back them up. People need to start demanding proof of these phony claims. Or make them shut up.
Dwendt44 May 14th, 2015 at 7:32 pm
Proof? You want proof? They don’t need any stinking proof.
whatthe46 May 14th, 2015 at 8:29 pm

Threat to what, Teddy? Your manhood?
tracey marie May 14th, 2015 at 9:24 pm
what manhood?
fahvel May 15th, 2015 at 3:22 am
good one! People who slither the halls of politics are automatically defined as looking for their manhood.

“fights over “religious freedom” laws in Indiana and Arkansas were “heartbreaking” examples of how the (Conservative Majority 2014 SCOTUS equal marriage ruling) has “gotten so extreme and so radical in its devotion to mandatory gay marriage that they’ve decided there’s no room for the religious liberty protected under the First Amendment.”-Canadian Birther Ted Cruz is constitutionally illiterate. Never mentioning SCOTUS marriage equality ruling upheld the 10th and 14th Amendments. PalinBrawl / Cruz’16~

And the televangelist spews more bile:
“We’re a nation that was founded by men and women who were fleeing religious oppression and coming to seek out a land where everyone of us could worship God Almighty with all of our hearts, minds and souls, and that is under profound jeopardy today,” Cruz said.
So, you’re ignorant of the Constitution, the founding fathers and the founding principles of this country then?
frambley1 May 15th, 2015 at 1:57 am
The weird part about it is that he is a constitutional scholar. Another weird thing is the irony of that statement you quoted. I think Liz Lemon said it best: Opposite!!
Kick Frenzy May 15th, 2015 at 2:37 am
The irony is so strong it hurts!
fahvel May 15th, 2015 at 3:20 am
he is not a constitutional scholar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rg9rts May 15th, 2015 at 7:46 am
What colony did he have in mind??? only Rhode Island sort of fit that bill
fahvel May 15th, 2015 at 3:19 am
fortunately the minds and souls of the faithful are irrelevant and tend not to offer squat to a neighbor or a friend or an enemy or or…………. You have some truly insecure nut cases exposing their stained underdrawers.
pinballsdoll May 15th, 2015 at 6:45 am
did the word “smarmy” exist before Ted Cruz

The greatest threat is what he sees in the mirror every morning

I’ve always felt that animals, especially dogs are very good judges of character.

I hope that dog doesn’t catch something.
