WHY TED CRUZ WAS RIGHT TO WALK OUT ON THE 'IN DEFENSE OF CHRISTIANS' CONFERENCE

Cruz’s speech seemed a consummate effort to flush out the true nature of the organizers and their guests. He went on:

"Religious bigotry is a cancer with many manifestations. ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and their state sponsors like Syria and Iran, are all engaged in a vicious genocidal campaign to destroy religious minorities in the Middle East.
Sometimes we are told not to lump these groups together, that we have to understand their so-called nuances and differences.
But we shouldn't try to parse different manifestations of evil that are on murderous rampage through the region. Hate is hate and murder is murder.
The grumbling from other tables now became audible, and it was not long before the murmurs and fidgeting erupted into boos and outright heckling."

“Stop it. Stop it,” Someone shouted.

Cruz pushed on: “Let me say this: those who hate Israel hate America.”

“No,” someone shouted back.

Cruz said, “And those who hate Jews hate Christians.”

At this, a number of people in the audience booed in unison.

“And if this room will not recognize that, then my heart weeps that the men and women here will not stand in solidarity with Jews and Christians alike who are persecuted by radicals who seek to murder them.”

Cruz only lasted a minute or two longer before cutting short his speech and walking out with the words: “if you will not stand with Israel and Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you and God bless you.”

I think he was wrong, but, I would much rather prefer him than somebody who draws a line in the sand, gets spit on in the face, and goes golfing instead.
Now, I may just have described Obama, and I admit I did, but, the description extends to whoever either party nominates that may do the same thing.
If Cruz runs for the presidency, he might get my vote, and the RINO's may howl and scream like they did sometime ago that the votes should go solidly to their nominee instead of being divided, but, heck, I'd rather my candidate not win, than waste a vote on some wimp, which Cruz, and Gowdy, and some others are not.

I used to agree that a third party vote was a vote for the opposition, BUT, after the GOP's nominations for the '08 & '12 elections, I'm in total agreement with you.
I used to think the Rs were a conservative lot , but it has become obvious that they (GOP leaders anyway) have become nothing more than "Liberal Lite", so I no longer feel any compulsion to support them - unless they can do a better job of nominating than for the last two POTUS elections!
Big shift in my political perspective, but it is what it is!! :BangHead:

I guess the Canadian can dish it out but can't take it?

We need to separate spiritual Israel from political Israel.

 

[JPPT1974]

Well he has that right and even if we don't agree with it as that seems to be a poor sport thing. We can agree to disagree and respect his decision.

Can anyone on this board tell me what this poor post has to do with the op. Anyone at all?

I guess he doesn't believe that the Jewish people, like Christians in that part of the world, are a minority religion that is on Islam's kill list.

It is evident by Cruz's reception that some middle east "Christians" don't think so either.

“And if this room will not recognize that, then my heart weeps that the men and women here will not stand in solidarity with Jews and Christians alike who are persecuted by radicals who seek to murder them.”

Casting my vote for Ted Cruz was the best vote I ever cast.
The man knows his onions.
He is not afraid of the bullies either, no matter if they are an r or a d.

We need more like him if we wish to reclaim this country.
