Ted Cruz, A Constitutional Conservative

I have long wished for a constitutional conservative candidate. In the past we have had to make do with what we had ... but now we have a candidate who fits everything we have been searching for, Ted Cruz.

Glenn Beck compared him to George Washington, but for me I would say that Ted Cruz is his own man and has dedicated his life to the defense of the U.S. Constitution. Yes, I could go on about his many accomplishments of which there are many. But instead I wish to focus on the character of the man.

Ted Cruz has remained faithful to his wife, Heidi. He dotes on his daughters and is a strong Christian. Why is the last important to me? A war on Christianity is being waged in the world, even in America where the First Amendment guarantees, and I quote:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It began with the passing of Obamacare where Nancy Pelosi famously said, "We have to pass it to see what's in it." I read it, three times. I read it before they passed it. I read it after they passed it and then I read it one more time to refresh my memory. But with this, the U.S. Congress and Barack Obama tried to force religious organizations to violate their beliefs with forcing them to pay for contraception and abortions.

Then the U.S. Supreme Court went against millennia of tradition and biology to force the legalization of gay marriage. Instantly, gay activists sought out religious business owners and torpedoed them, forcing them to pay monumental fines and even, in some instances, shutting the businesses down.

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama said that the religious climate in America needed to change and we needed to be more accepting of homosexuality. Well no, no we don't. God's laws are immutable and He states in the Bible that the practice of homosexuality is a sin. You don't like it, take it up with God. He even destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah over it.

So yes, I want a strong Christian in the Oval Office, and that is Ted Cruz. Can you blame me? Barack Obama has proven that he has indeed sided with Muslims, over and over again. But Ted Cruz's pastor said this about him:

“Ted was just like all the other kids,” Wiley remembered. “Except he had the IQ of his father – he was three stages ahead. I baptized both of his parents and had the privilege of baptizing Ted and leading him and his cousin Bibi to the Lord. I believe he is God’s man for this hour, for such a time as this. He is the most constitutional, conservative candidate in either party. The hand of God is on him, and if God’s people rise up, he will be the man.” Source

Ted Cruz also said, and he's not wrong:

“Telling the truth in Washington, D.C., is a radical act. And it earns you the enmity of career politicians in both parties. When you tell the truth about Washington—when you expose the fact that elected officials are misleading the voters who elected them—you pay a price. It’s one thing to criticize the other party. But when you admit publicly that many of those in your own party are complicit in the problem, well, that’s when the long knives come out.” ― Ted Cruz, A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America

So now we have a constitutional conservative running, one we begged and begged for, and the Trump voters are turning on him hard. Even conservatives who have been fooled by Donald Trump, who says he will be an establishment president, have jumped on the bandwagon. I find that very disheartening.

Here is the story of Ted Cruz and well worth watching:

This is the man. This is the constitutional conservative we begged for. This is Ted Cruz and he is the man for our time. Ronald Reagan's policies gave us a couple of decades of prosperity. Just like Reagan, the GOP establishment hates Ted Cruz. To me, that is a huge endorsement. The GOP Establishment has helped Democrats destroy America. Now we have a constitutional conservative and I am asking you to support him.

We can't have it both ways. We asked for our congressmen and senators to fight back, Ted Cruz has done that. He's done exactly what we asked him to do. He kept his campaign promises, just as did Senator Mike Lee. We begged our elected representatives to fight back. So do not castigate Ted Cruz for doing exactly what we asked him to do, especially doing what his constituents asked him to do.

Without question I love this great nation, this grand experiment that we call America. Like Ted Cruz, we grew up listening to stories from our parents talk about what happens when freedom and liberty are completely lost. Like Ted Cruz's father who was in a Castro prison, my father was in a labor camp for eighteen months at the end of World War II. My father was four when Hitler invaded and the next six and a half years were an unmitigated hell. So like Ted Cruz, I carry that torch for a reignited America, and for this nation to be restored as a Constitutional Republic.

So yes, I ask you to look at Ted Cruz and realize he is what we have been praying for, a constitutional conservative.
