"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Cruz gives up his citizenship... his Canadian citizenship:
Canada-born U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has made good on a promise to renounce his birth country's citizenship — doing so amid speculation he could make a run at the White House in 2016.
[...]
I thought one had to be a "natural born citizen" to make a run for the white house? So does that mean that one born by C-Section can never be president?"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU.
"Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek.
GIVE 'EM HELL, BRIGHAM!

The comments from even his most ardent supporters are hilarious."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Harvard is clearly overrated."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

I attended an event last week where Cruz was the guest of honor. I had a chance to talk with him for a minute. He's very smart and articulate and expresses conservative philosophy very well. The problem is that he has too many sharp edges. He keeps invoking Ronald Reagan, but Reagan could exude warmth when he wanted to, and was able to come across as happy warrior. Cruz doesn't seem able to do that. If he is nominated I think he'll be crushed and history will see him more like Barry Goldwater than Ronald Reagan.
Then again, I could be completely wrong....“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

"God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

Hillary's appeal isn't about warmth. Because she has a nasty personality, I give the GOP a puncher's chance of upsetting her, if they don't go Sara Pallin on us."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
