    It's not any worse.

    Which is why it's puzzling that the Christian group would boo...

    Because the claim that Israel is the greatest ally to Christians is utter bull(*)(*)(*)(*) and Cruz was bearing false witness (aka a sin to Christians).

    In which case the Christians side with the anti-Israeli crowd. Which includes terrorists, the very people who beat up on Christians.

    Cruz was right to walk off the stage at that point.

    Wait, so not standing by a lie about Israel makes you anti-Israel?

    Cruz is an Islamophobic bigot. His radical extremism is why he no longer is a candidate for the GOP in 2016.

    As we saw in 2012, the Republican pols often are highly emotional, lacking in rationality, and filled with hate for Muslims and for anyone who dares to disagree with them.

    Justify his claim that Israel is the greatest ally in the world to Christians.

    I can't unless you would accept the idea that Israel is tied for first place with a number of other nations. I'll call them tier 1 religious freedom nations.

    Really? Israel is tied for first place with, for instance, The Vatican as the greatest ally of Christians?

    Israel is an equal ally to Christians as nations which allow special priveleges for Christians over all other religions in their laws?

    Special privileges to Catholic Christians you mean?

    But what if you're a Protestant Christian? Especially Fundamentalist Christians. The Pope represents the false Church.

    How about Switzerland or Sweden which give special priveleges to both Protestants and Catholics?

    Holy crepes. The partisan jockeying in the first few responses is bewildering. I'll never understand why regular joes discussing politics talk like they're PR reps for political candidates.

    Christians in Iraq had the legal freedom to practice their religion. Hell, Saddam's foreign minister was Catholic. So did the Jews have that freedom, although Saddam became a little irate when he caught a bunch of 'em syping for Israel. The PLO also had a Catholic minister or some sort. She was also a woman. When was the last time a Christian had that opportunity in Israel?

    Hmmm, if Obama was at a Muslim rally and made a remark that Islamist weren't part of Islam they would have applauded him and he would have stayed for coffee and discussed which mosque he would be the head of in 2016.
    We do know where the Nigeria via Hawaii president will be standing tomorrow. On some golf course getting passed off if another American loses their head and ends up delaying his tee off time.

    The idea that most anit-semites are liberals is a farce because most Jews identify themselves as liberals. Quite the contrary, the Tea Party, KKK, and other right wingers are by far the most bigoted against Jews and others such as Muslims.

    Give me an answer. Your response was particularly feminine.
