Ted Cruz saves America in This Right-Wing Coloring Book
A conservative coloring book publisher is out with a new title imagining the tea party heartthrob as a bona fide superhero. Ted Cruz: Action Hero. Last year, the St. Louis-based publisher Really Big Coloring Books released a Ted Cruz coloring book. In it, the firebrand Republican senator from Texas is depicted as a kid-friendly passionate fighter for limited government.
This week, the publisher released a new eight-page supplement to the original childrens book. Its titled Ted Saves America and includes images of the tea-party darling flying like Superman and riding an eagle. Cruzs office did not respond to a request for comment regarding the image of the senator brandishing a rifle while riding a gigantic bald eagle.

Really Big Coloring Books has also published titles such as Superheroes of the Bible and Fairies & Princesses. But it gets way more attention for its political coloring materials for small children. For instance, their September 11th coloring book We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids Book of Freedom, published in 2011, was slammed as anti-Muslim disaster porn. Back in August, the company reissued two terrorism coloring books with supplemental pages depicting the horrors of ISIS and other Islamist killers http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/11/13/ted-cruz-saves-america-in-this-right-wing-coloring-book.html
