Poe's Law Alert - Cruz's Dad: "if (atheists) step one foot outside electrified fence, we shoot them"

http://www.newslo.com/ted-cruzs-father-suggests-placing-atheists-in-camps/

Rafael Cruz, father of Texas Senator and Tea-Party favorite Ted Cruz, spoke recently against atheism and secular humanism at a gathering of an Oklahoma Second Amendment advocacy group. He claimed that the belief systems are two of the main ills facing our society, that they lead to sexual perversion, sexual abuse, and the complete loss of hope, and that people following these two views should be rounded up and placed in special ‘camps’ to keep them separated from the rest of America.

He warned that atheists are in danger of corrupting the youth of America and called for action before America was overrun. His solution to what he termed ‘the problem of the Godless’ is the creation of a series of ‘Heathen Zones’- fenced-in camps located mostly in Northern California and Vermont. “It’s a free country,” he said. “If these people need to practice their holy rites of atheism, they can do so, as long as they are in clearly-marked encampments far away from the rest of us.”

“While they’re in their Heathen Zones, they’re free to dance naked around the fire, brand the mark of the Devil on their flesh or whatever else they want to do,” he added. “Of course, if they step one foot outside the electrified fence we shoot them between the eyes. Two or three times, just to be sure.”

He also argued that any children spawned in these camps would be removed at birth so they would not be drawn into secular humanism via their birth-mother’s tainted breast milk.


I am getting invited to all the wrong atheist parties!

(It's a parody website and a fake story, to be absolutely clear. But there's some serious Poe's Law going on here, amirite?)

Dito. It sounds so believable. DetlefK Nov 2013 #2
+1. Sounded completely plausible, given the supposed source. (nt) Paladin Nov 2013 #5

It's so believable because it's a credible example of what we could expect with the TP IrishAyes Nov 2013 #3
while it's a parody, it's really sad that one could actually see this dolt saying these things. nt Javaman Nov 2013 #4

I would have gone for it- hook, line and sinker.

I wonder what Cruz really would say when someone proposed this idea to him.

Every word of it is plausible, and if I hadn't read the disclaimer I would have walked away absolutely convinced that Cruz said it.

in charge. The fact that Daddy Cruz hasn't YET said that out loud in public doesn't mean he isn't thinking it. Or that he wouldn't really try it if he thought for one second he could get away with it. Maybe when Junior's finally crowned actual king of the Seven Mountains.....

These people are not only evil but absolutely crazy.
