Ted Cruz's Dad repeats debunked "history"

I'm not surprised at all.

Rafael Cruz Is Now Just Repeating David Barton's Pseudo-History

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 12/26/2013 12:54 pm

Recently, Rafael Cruz spoke to the Allen Area Patriots, a Tea Party group in Texas, where he informed those gathered "about the Liberal Progressive's move to socialize America, and what we can do about it." While watching Cruz's remarks, we were struck by fact that he has essentially become a second-rate version of David Barton, so much so that he is now just repeating Barton's pseudo-history as part of his stump speech, claiming that the Declaration of Independence is nothing more than a collection of sermons and that over half of the Founding Fathers held "seminary degrees."
