I'm devoutly serious about my guns. Maybe I'm wrong about the self defense thing. Who knows? But it doesn't make me a nut. Good luck.

I'm not aware of Cruz saying that his Christianity would overrule the Constitution in any way or that he would force his religious views on anyone politically. As a matter fact, he's said exactly the opposite. If you can provide some examples of that I would like to see it.

And, umm yes. Electability, 3rd party or otherwise, is what I meant by viable.

Thanks for posting...I am aware of Teds thoughts and accomplishments, I have observed him for a couple of years now, among others and I do agree, he is the only "Viable"! candidate.

He attends events by very extreme religious folks. He has said some things about Christ overruling the Constitution that are problematic. He is a social conservative on religious grounds. He believes in using the power of the government to force those views on others.

Johnson is way more across the board sensible. Whether he or any 3rd party candidate can get elected is another question and perhaps what you in part mean by "viable".

Is he religious? Yes. He admits that. But he is not a nut about it. A religious nut would never make the comments, or display the behavior that Cruz has of putting the Constitution first when it comes to politics.

And the most important word in the quote that I included in the title is "viable." Which Johnson definitely is not.

I liked the article, and posted it because of the rational analysis of the author. It's the best I've seen so far.

The man is a bit of a religious nut to be frank. The only candidate speaking overall sense is Gary Johnson among the libertarians in this crazy season.

I have limited respect for that publication. The author banned em form commenting for intelligent careful questioning of premises evident in some of the articles.

The Objective Standard is neither objective nor a standard, except perhaps for neocon statists.
(This is based on historical reading of the OS. It could have changed in recent times.)

This writer makes great points, many are the reason I support Cruz.
