Midknight Review -- new and revised: For Cruz to pretend that he is shepherding a national revival is preposterous. Here is why:

Jim Hoft / The Gateway Pundit:

Ted Cruz Preaches at South Carolina Church: “There Is a Spirit of Awakening, A Spirit of Revival... Sweeping This Country” — Ted Cruz preached at the Community Bible Church in Beaufort, South Carolina on Sunday. … Senator Cruz spoke for an hour from the pulpit. — News Channel 6 reported on the senator's visit.

Editor's notes: I an a conservative and member of a Baptist Church in spite of the fact that I do not claim to be a "Baptist." You would think I would agree with the Cruz statement headlined above. Not the case. Rather, I see his statement as the worst kind of pandering, as shallow an appeal to the Evangelical community as has been the case this election cycle. Disgusting. If there is a revival going on, it is best described as "nationalism." Making patriotism a part of some kind of litmus test is fine with me. But to make a particular religious point of view is wrong. Make no mistake: Cruz is not just talking about issues that appeal to the Evangelical community. No, he is talking an Evangelical take-over of this country or so his words seem to imply.

Understand that the Evangel Community is not monolithic in its foundational circumstance. There is a reason why Baptist do not attend the Catholic Church or recognize Catholic leadership. There is a reason why Catholics do not recognize any other Christian church in an authoritative sense. There are more than 400 Christian denominations in this country, all of them disagreeing with the others on some critically important issues. For Cruz to pretend that he is shepherding a revival is preposterous.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
