Why I Support Cruz over Trump, But Why Trump Would Be Better on Foreign Policy
By Julio
Severo
I
support Ted
Cruz over Donald Trump as a Republican presidential candidate, even
though Trump seems to be more correct regarding to Islam and its threat. About
pro-life issues, Trump is suspicious. Cruz is not suspicious about these
issues. I think he will not betray pro-life convictions. Yet, my worry about
him is the same worry about Bush Jr. He is suspicious in this issue.

| Ted Cruz and Donald Trump |
After
the U.S. invasion by Bush, Iraq Christians began their exodus to Syria, because
U.S. troops did not want to protect this vulnerable minority not to give the
impression to Muslims that America was in a Christian crusade in Iraq to
protect Christians and attack Muslims. To dispel this image, America under Bush
did not protect Iraqi Christians.
And
now, under Obama, America is heavily arming “moderate” Syrian Muslim rebels who
rape, torture and slaughter Syrian Christians. America under Obama has caused a
terrible mess to Syrian Christians and Iraq Christian refugees in Syria.
Cannot
America solve her own mess against innocent people?
If
America under Bush did not arm Iraqi Christians against Muslim attacks, now
America under Obama is not arming Syrian Christians to defend themselves
against ISIS and U.S.-armed “moderate” Syrian Muslim rebels.
What
will Cruz do? I am sure that in pro-family issues he will not imitate Obama. If
he imitates Bush in his pro-life stances, this is very good. But will he also
imitate Bush in his disastrous politics benefitting Islam and destroying old
Christian communities in the Middle East? In this issue, Bush and Obama are not
different.
In
this respect (about foreign affairs and Christian persecution), I would not
like to see Cruz as a new Bush or Obama. If he intends to continue the mess of
Bush and Obama against Christians around the world, he should not be elected.
In
this respect, I prefer Trump. He is independent and free to do whatever he
wants. He cannot be bribed with millions, because he is a billionaire. He has
offended neocons, whom Bush obeyed and whom Obama obeys in their foreign policy
disasters against Christians. It seems he will not continue the mess of Bush
and Obama against Christians around the world. He has promised good relations
with Russia, in contrast with Cruz, who wants neocon relations with Russia.
Even so, I am worried about his lack of pro-family credentials.
Trump
has advocated a ban on Islamic immigration to the U.S. and he
favors Christian immigration. His proposed ban has infuriated
Democrats and Republicans, left-wingers and right-wingers. In this point, he
has shown that he has more courage than all the other candidates combined do.
Cruz has not shown this courage.
America’s
founders were fond of evangelical values. Cruz, not Trump, seems to have these
qualities. Even so, Trump seems much more open to let the U.S. welcome
Christian refugees and discontinue the ridiculous Obama and Bush politics of
praising Islam and welcoming its adherents. One Christian is slaughtered every five
minutes, and the
overwhelming majority of these crimes against Christians are committed by
Muslims. Why since Bush and Obama has the U.S. received thousands and thousands
of Muslims, not Christians? America needs a president to deliver her from this
insanity. Probably in this issue Cruz has much to learn from Trump.
U.S.
foreign policy, which has been a disaster to international Christians under the
Bush and Obama administrations, has been dominated by neocons. Trump, not Cruz,
seems to have a distaste for neocon politics.
If
Trump had pro-family credentials, he would be the perfect candidate. But because
he has not them, perhaps a Cruz-Trump ticket would be perfect.
If I
can give a humble advice to Cruz is:
Be a pro-lifer (and I am sure that
you are going to be one). But remember also the Cross (which is Cruz in
Spanish). Remember Christians suffering Islamic oppression, rape, torture and
slaughter.
Remember what Bush and Obama did
not remember.
Remember that the trail of U.S.
military invasions and interventions in Iraq, Libya and Syria is covered with
the blood of Christians that America refused to protect in order to protect
U.S. political interests.
Remember that the U.S., which was
founded by persecuted Christians, today welcomes many more Muslim invaders than
Christian refugees, even though Islam is responsible for about 100,000
Christian martyrs a year.
Be different from Bush and Obama,
who armed Muslims who attacked Christians. Could America under your presidency
arm Christians to defend themselves against Islamic assaults?
Be different from Bush and Obama,
who praised Islam and welcomed Muslim invaders over Christian refugees. Could
America under your presidency welcome Christian immigrants over Muslim
immigrants? At least, could not America under your presidency welcome Christian
refugees from Iraq, Syria, Libya and other Islamic nations where she has caused
a big mess against Christians?
Be opposed to neocons, who
antagonize Russia, but do not antagonize Islamic dictatorships. Russia has
recently been prominent in conservative pro-family efforts in the U.N. system
and Russian military involvement in Syria has protected and helped Christians
from the mess America created. Cannot America under your presidency be better?
Trump has publicly expressed his intent of not antagonizing Russia. Cannot you
be better than Trump on this?
Remember to serve the Kingdom of
God above the neocon kingdom and its disastrous policies against Christians. In
fact, make America a servant of God and His Kingdom. So in this way America
will be blessed and a blessing and stop being a curse for Christians persecuted
by Muslims around the world.
I
doubt that Trump knows how to put the Kingdom of God above a neocon kingdom of
foreign policy disaster for international Christians. But Cruz has such
knowledge. He will be happy — and international Christians and their God will
be equally happy — if he puts this knowledge into action.
