Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Dominionism

[_Xenu_]

Let them rage all they like. They have no chance of gaining real power.

Having a senator IS real power.

So is having one in the whitehouse as in Bush..

And yet we're nowhere close to living under anything like Dominionism.

[Eve]

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz—whose father is Rafael Cruz, a rabid right-wing Christian preacher and the director of the Purifying Fire International ministry—and legions of the senator's wealthy supporters, some of whom orchestrated the shutdown, are rooted in a radical Christian ideology known as Dominionism or Christian Reconstructionism. This ideology calls on anointed "Christian" leaders to take over the state and make the goals and laws of the nation "biblical." It seeks to reduce government to organizing little more than defense, internal security and the protection of property rights. It fuses with the Christian religion the iconography and language of American imperialism and nationalism, along with the cruelest aspects of corporate capitalism. The intellectual and moral hollowness of the ideology, its flagrant distortion and misuse of the Bible, the contradictions that abound within it—its leaders champion small government and a large military, as if the military is not part of government—and its laughable pseudoscience are impervious to reason and fact. And that is why the movement is dangerous.

Nothing new here. The Bush family was part of those fucks too..

Bush the same as Obama. Only Obama is worse. Obama is communist(progressive).

There's something about this guy that just doesn't look right to me.  I don't agree with a word that comes out of his mouth, but when I look at him I get the feeling that he just a little bit too slick and a little weird looking.  It's the saying that people used to say of "Would you buy a used car from this guy" and, to me, the answer is a definite hell no.

He reminds me of a snake oil salesman.

But what he says and does looks right to me. NO OBAMA CARE!
When Obama(communist/progressive) said to me that "If I like my plan/ doctor I can keep my plan/ doctor, PERIOD" I didn't believe him. Why? Because it didn't make any sense.
I was right.

Though I agree with you in spirit, however in a democracy, people need to have freedom of expression. So it is incumbent that all of us get well informed. With dissemination of the proper facts, people should be able to make better choices at the voting booth.

Progressives(communists) like freedom of expression only if You agree with them. If You disagree You are enemy of the people. This how communist of USSR called those who disagreed with them "enemy of the people". Communists(progressives) of USA are not different.

in universe that has OBAMACARE.

Compared to actual socialist countries, Obama is basically near the end of the spectrum Conservative, while what the US calls conservatives have fallen so far off the scale you can't even see them anymore.

And what's wrong with that?  The USA needs universal healthcare.

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Ha! In which universe is Putin the poster boy for democracy and 'freedom'? Interesting a Russian would call Obama a communist.
What a hoot..

[Solitary]

It's truly amazing that a Russian would not know what communism is.  :-k  Solitary



com·mu·nism

 [ kómmy? nìzz?m ]  


1.classless political system: the political theory or system in which all property and wealth is owned in a classless society by all the members of that society.  Unless you are rich, why would one object to communism?


so·cial·ism

 [ s?sh? lìz?m ]  


1.political system of communal ownership: a political theory or system in which the means of production and distribution are controlled by the people and operated according to equity and fairness rather than market principles. You would think the Tea Party would be all for this because it is less government.

2.movement based on socialism: a political movement based on principles of socialism, typically advocating an end to private property and to the exploitation of workers. I can see why the rich would be against this.

3.stage between capitalism and communism: in Marxist theory, the stage after the proletarian revolution when a society is changing from capitalism to communism, marked by pay distributed according to work done rather than need. I can see why people like Trump and the Koch brothers, as well as the non-productive hypocritical parasites that prey on the credulity and ignorance of their fellow unthinking man, the clergy, would be against this.  :roll: Solitary

If compare Obama with Stalin he is conservative all right. Wait, he didn't finish his job. Let me share with You something. Obama care is even worth than healthcare that we had in the USSR.
I am constitutional conservative.  I don't need politicians to lead me and took care of me. Is it too extreme?
Big Government = Big Corruption. USSR is perfect example. Big Government means - it is not capable even to build website when people now DEPEND on it. DEPENDENCE means "good-by freedom, sweet freedom". The more I depend on government the less freedom I have.
As a constitutional conservative I don't support this.

Yes, we need better healthcare. But not with this price tag - PRICE OF FREEDOM.
This is what is wrong with OBAMACARE. PERIOD.

[Jason78]

You aren't losing any freedom as far as I can see.  Unless you can substantiate those comments, all you're doing is whinging and whining about nothing.

[Eve]

Ha! In which universe is Putin the poster boy for democracy and 'freedom'?

I don't care about Putin. I am an American now. I am Citizen and very proud of it. I have this right now. Before it was a privilege for me to become USA Citizen. And I pay taxes.

Interesting a Russian would call Obama a communist.
What a hoot..

Why would I call him something else if he is a communist/progressive? "FAIR SHARE" is communist principle. I am not against fair share. I am against when communist FORCE others to help poor and decides what is fair share. I WANT TO DECIDE what is MY FAIR SHAIR. Ironicly they(communists/progressives) don't apply this principle to themselves. Did Obama enroll already in Obama care? I doubt. Did Big Unions(socialists ) enroll in what they forced on me? I doubt. HYPOCRITES!!!
