Ted Cruz Tells Hate Group: Only Way to Save U.S. is by Turning it into a Theocracy

In my opinion, Sen. Ted Cruz is easily the worst person in all of Congress. I’ve reached the point where I really can’t stand to listen to him for more than a minute or two before I can start to taste the vomit coming up.

Well, while speaking to the American Family Association (a known anti-gay hate group), Cruz said that the only way this country can be saved is for evangelicals to rise up and vote for politicians who’ll pass legislation based upon Biblical principles.

“Nothing is more important in the next 18 months than that the body of Christ rise up and that Christians stand up, that pastors stand up and lead,” Cruz said. “In this last election, 54 million evangelical Christians stayed home. If we can simply bring Christians to the polls – is it any wonder we have the government we have – we have the leaders we have if believers stay home and leave electing our leaders to unbelievers. We get exactly what we deserve and nothing is more important that having people of faith stand up and just vote our values, vote biblical values and that’s how we turn the country around.”

In other words, he wants millions of evangelical Christians to go and vote for politicians who would basically turn this country into a theocracy.

Furthermore, let me emphasize how “classy” it is for a presidential candidate to happily speak to an organization which is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. It’s also interesting Mr. “Pro-Israel” Ted Cruz would speak to an organization whose members have been linked to anti-Jew rhetoric, such as that by Sandy Rios who once said in reference to her belief that the ACLU is out to remove God and destroy America:

I know that there are powerful Jewish forces behind the ACLU.

1. The only way to save the US is to get religion completely out.

2. So when do we get to the part where Ted actually follows the teachings of the Bible?

The boring old feed the poor, heal the sick part. It's hard to pick the biggest fool out of the GOP candidates, but this character is a contender for the top spot. His real calling is televised religious huckster-for-cash. It's only a matter of time.

3. A theocracy headed by Ayatollah Cruz, I assume?

6. Yep, make the US like the other theocracies with asshole Cruz at the helm. That's the voice

he hears in his head as he hallucinates sitting on a throne!

4. The Jews at ACLU are the bad guys, the Jews at AIPAC opposing the Iran-deal are the good guys.

You see, the Jews are swell guys, until you need conspiracy boogey-man. Then, all of a sudden, they are devious.

8. If you've seen one religious extremist, you've seen them all.

As far as I'm concerned, Ted Cruz poses a lot bigger threat to me and my family than anything ISIS is doing, these days.

9. What ever happened to separation of church and state?

10. Cruz is a Christian Dominionist

and always has been, just like his father. He wants a Christian theocracy with him at the head. The concept that he can be an even marginally viable candidate for President should scare the shit out of all of us.
