    Cruz is a very articulate nut case.

    If a Muslim American said this it would be "WHY U WANT TO TAKE OVER WITH SHARIA!?!"

    That reminds of that Marissa Meyer headline where they quoted her paraphrasing Lombardi and printed "God, family and Yahoo," but no one noticed the part where she said "except, I'm not that religious, so..."

    I'd rather being an American not be the second priority for the President of the United States.

    Very calculated response by possibly the best **** starter since McCarthy.

    Obviously dishonest as well, everyone knows Cruz is an asshat #1.

    You can call Cruz a lot of things, but he does honestly believe the idiocy he spouts.

    You will never know what anyone really believes. We only project the image we want people to see, usually as a means to get what we want. Why we want it is a milieu of nature, nurture and desire; and guilt.

    I will never understand how people profess to be "Christian" and conservative.
    If you wanted to emulate the life of Christ you would be involved in selfless service to the lowest abilities of humanity without ego. Claiming Christianity is usually just a ploy to gain trust. Real Christians live it without the public proclamation.

    I think if people are honest, very few people are Americans first.

    30 years ago, the society was more like melting bot , US v. Soviets .

    Now the society is like a Salad. Variety of groups that have their own distinction, priorities ,enemy.
