We knew this was coming—Ted Cruz grandstanding, claiming that end times are upon America because a public official is being asked to do her job.
“Those who are persecuting Kim Davis believe that Christians should not serve in public office. [...] Or, if Christians do serve in public office, they must disregard their religious faith–or be sent to jail."
No, to both the first and the second. They're totally free to observe their religious faith whether they are a public office holder or not. They just can't do it on the clock, on the taxpayer's dime—not when God tells them not do their job.
More from Cruz:
“Today, judicial lawlessness crossed into judicial tyranny. Today, for the first time ever, the government arrested a Christian woman for living according to her faith. This is wrong. This is not America.
I stand with Kim Davis. Unequivocally. I stand with every American that the Obama Administration is trying to force to chose [sic] between honoring his or her faith or complying with a lawless court opinion."
Correction: Davis wasn't exactly arrested for "living according to her faith"—she was arrested for not doing her job as a public servant.
And a question: Is there really such thing as a "lawless" court decision? Second question: Didn't that guy go to law school?
you know they really need to hone their ED, ELEPHANT DUNG skills better if you're going to fake concern for a potential base rallying of being suppressed make sure you get the info correct. not that it would make any difference to their base it would make them look less ignorant to the rest of us.
he's appealing to those who have been fooled into thinking their religious rights are being trampled my question what do they call what they are doing to everyone else trying to force their anti Christian ways on them or have they just been loss in the words of misleading don't they see they are the culprits???????????????
