Ted Cruz makes the case for religious liberty

NY Times:

Ted Cruz, Seeking Converts to His Campaign, Rallies Iowa Evangelicals

The Texas senator and Republican presidential contender drew a large crowd to hear tales of several people who said they had suffered because they followed their consciences in opposing homosexuality.

At no time in the nations history has religious liberty been under such a sustained attack as it is now.   The secular left's disdain for religious conscience is being both codified and enforced by secular judges who seem to think forcing someone to make a wedding cake is a "fundamental right."  The cake cops have become a real threat to religious freedom.

Cruz also had a well received speech at the Americans for Prosperity event this weekend:

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was the hands-down favorite of the Americans for Prosperity annual summit in Columbus, Ohio, this weekend, if the number and volume of ovations during the speeches of five presidential candidates who addressed the annual convention of tea party activists was the measure.
...
Cruz, a tea party favorite since his 2012 election, sparked deafening cheers in the Columbus Convention Center auditorium even before he took the stage, entering to the 1980s power anthem "Eye of the Tiger." During his speech Saturday, he went on to promise to "repeal every word of Obamacare," and" rip to shreds this catastrophic Iranian nuclear deal."
...

The "Washington cartel" as he calls it may not like Ted Cruz, but conservative voters certainly seem to.
