I had to look up the definition of "Constitutional conservatism" ... since to me that sounds mostly like an oxymoron. Many of the founders were classical liberals in direct conflict with "conservatism" ... just read Thomas Paines ridicule of Edmund Burke. Also ... I don't see how Ted Cruz is honest about small government. As soon as he can see it benefit his religion he's all for controlling the individual life of others. To me he seems more like a Theocrat. When I read the definition of "Constitutional conservatism" I find statements like: * "freedom of religion is paramount to the Constitutional Conservative" * "atheism also being a religion as it requires beliefs which must be taken on faith" I call Bullshit. That's a typical cop-out for religious people when trying to impose their religion on others and circumvent secularism: To deliberately misunderstand what "atheism" actually is and call it "a religion". Complete nonsense... How anyone with intellectual honesty can can claim to be "Constitutional conservative" escapes me.

***** First a statement of fact: Atheism is NOT a religion. It's the lack of a belief in God(s) ... No more, no less. An atheist feel exactly the same way about Jahve as most Christians feel about Zeus. Secondly. I've never seen the (false) argument that atheism is a religion used in any other way than to fight secularism. Thirdly - wrt. Cruz. That's almost a confession case: "...defending the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments monument at the Texas State Capitol and the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. -- https://www.tedcruz.org/about/

Hugo Guerreiro well ... I suppose many people are here not just to be "entertained" ... but to actually get something to think about in a discussion where all parties are actually interested in reflecting on arguments. ... else you'd just be wasting your time.
