<div>The United States&#8217; rapidly growing debt currently stands at over 18 <i>trillion</i> dollars. NSA leaks have shown that the Obama administration has made great strides in achieving a world without privacy, with zero to little public dialogue regarding whether or not such personal spying is merited or healthy for a society. The Middle East has been engulfed by a violent proxy war between Iranian funded Shiite militias and Saudi Arabia backed Wahhabi groups.  ;With all these events unfolding, should America really be concerned about whether or not Ted Cruz or Rand Paul would go to a gay wedding?</div>
<div></div>
<div>If one were to hear the questions posed to Republican candidates, they would believe America is a nearly flawless society, with the only concerns left being gay marriage and transgendered individuals&#8217; right to choose which bathroom they desire. However, with so many pressing crises at America&#8217;s front door, do we really have time to allow the media to ignore daunting, immediate threats to our national security in favor of vilifying Christian candidates?</div>
<div></div>
<div>Perhaps, in NYC and San Francisco, where the population&#8217;s hedonistic tendencies and extreme wealth isolates them from the rest of America, all that&#8217;s left to worry about is shaming Christians for having a belief system. However, for the majority of Americans, both Democrat and Republican, this upcoming election cycle must not turn into a series of &#8220;gotcha questions&#8221; about the candidate&#8217;s personal beliefs &#8211; or else we&#8217;re all in trouble. ;</div>
<div></div>
<div>If a candidate could figure out how to get out of this debt, stop the flood of privacy ending programs and create even a semblance of stability to the Middle East region, I could care less about his criteria for deciding to attend a wedding. ;</div>
