Hattip to Darleen at Protein Wisdom. Senator Ted Cruz (R.Tx) is a Southern Baptist. If all Catholic members of Congress had a tenth the willingness to do battle for the Church and the First Amendment as Cruz does, I would have no concern for the future of the Church in this country, at least from assaults by Caesar.

Wow – Ted Cruz strikes me as very presidential.
But what staggers me is that he had to stand in the senate to speak in this manner.
How far has the USA sunk ? If not its people, certainly its government – which in reality is a reflection of many of the people.
And the idiot Obama has two years and four months to go in his presidency. What other attacks is he and his henchmen Democrats going to lay on the American people?
Very, VERY sad.
Ted Cruz IS very presidential, but the Republican establishment will crush him if he seeks that high office. The enemy of the Republican establishment is not Barack Obama, but rather, genuine conservatives like Cruz.
If Kennedy were alive today, it’s hard to believe that he would still be a Democrat.
Moral clarity. Ted Cruz doesn’t seem to get swamped by opinion. He seems to see a light in all this fog.
I’m sharing this with as many friends as I can. God bless Ted Cruz for speaking truth so clearly and consistently.

If you ever have a chance to hear Cruz speak live, be sure and go. I heard him live in Florida this past fall. He is one of the best speakers I have ever heard in my life.
The Republican party establishment works constantly at all levels to cement their control over the advancement/defeat of candidates bearing the R on the ballot. In our state the Republican establishment will only allow candidates who have true convictions and who operate from and vote their convictions (like Cruz) to be elected at the state level or below. The party establishment does not want anyone in office whom they cannot control–people who stay true to their conservative principles regardless of a given party line at the time cannot be controlled. One of my friends who has devoted huge portions of her life to the Republican party here in our state found this out when she ran for Congress this year. I had tried to point out to her in the past, but she had to witness it first hand in order to believe it. Political party structures,in my experience, are about top-down control, punishing your enemies, and rewarding your friends.
Sorry.
I meant to say “the Republican party establishment works constantly at all levels to cement their control over the advancement/defeat of candidates bearing the R on the ballot dependent upon the establishment’s view of those individual candidates (favored candidates are advanced/disfavored”candidates are stopped by any means necessary.)
The Democratic Party has evolved to become close to being what we years ago understood and called Godless Communism. Do you remember the outburst of rage on the floor at the Democratic Party convention at the mere mention of “God”.
It’s like hearing a voice in the wilderness of Washington DC.
