Ted Cruz’s Insane Dad: ‘The Devil Overplayed His Hand’ with Gay Marriage Ruling

[TexasTowelie]

Rafael Cruz, the rabidly homophobic birther father of tea party firebrand Senator Ted Cruz, said at a recent gathering in Georgia that the devil “overplayed his hand” with the Supreme Court’s Obergefell ruling legalizing same-sex marriage.

Said Cruz:

“The Devil always overplays his hand. And the Devil overplayed his hand with that decision on June 26. You’ve got to realize that that decision was not about homosexual marriage, that decision was a decision against religious liberty. What was the basis for their decision? It was the 14th Amendment. That means they’re calling homosexuality a civil right. Understand me well, if they’re calling homosexuality a civil right, that means that the next obvious step is a homosexual may come to your church and demand to be hired, whether as pastor or a janitor is immaterial, and if you say, ‘I’m sorry I cannot hire you because it violates my religious faith,’ you’re going to be slapped with a civil rights discrimination lawsuit. Or they may come to your Christian ministry or to your Christian school or to your private business. Civil rights discrimination lawsuits are going to be a dime a dozen.”

In the past, Cruz has stated his views that LGBT nondiscrimination measures let football teams shower with girls.

4. And when no such lawsuits materialize will this bigot take back hs claim and apologize?

Of course not. He will be on to the next crazy assertion.

5. I think the devil overplayed his hand by allowing the Cruz family to procreate.

6. Funny how they see manifestations of the devil everywhere they look.

But they can't see manifestations of god anywhere at the same time.

9. So true. RW radical fundamentalist Generationists operate on fear, not faith.

[Gothmog]

7. Papa Carnival Cruz is a religious nutcase

[DhhD]

8. Gay people are assaulting no one which was not the case in Sodom and Gomorrah, two

cities discussed in the Holy Bible.

Assault is rape. I believe rape culture is smoothed over therefore accepted by the Right Wing, to include RW radical fundamentalist Poppy Cruz. Rape assault leads to more raping as it becomes a mental illness from one generation to the next.

There is a related OP about Christians beliefs toward gays and abortion. Hope some will read my reply #36 on the GOP Acceptance of a rape culture, and too, a culture of fear. Thanks.

10. Exemption.............................

this walking hypocrite, probably in all reality and "his" church paid no property taxes (guess who gets the bill) so when you take the money from your flock of fellow hypocrites and bigots, you our in essence just like the Romans. You are a money changer in the square spewing bigotry just like your son-----------------------I think you should pay your property taxes.

Oh, yeah-----------------get over it, you are a bigot in my opinion
And you remind me of a whiner------cry me a tear

11. Carnival preaching is the family business.

Ted Cruz's entire political style is an exercise in tent-revival schtick. From the slippery hair to the vicious hate delivered in rhythmic sing-song, it's a essentially a travelling carny scam lightly garnished with Ted's Ivy-League education.

It has taken him this far, but hopefully enough people see through it these days that he'll go no further.

12. Poppy Dominionist may be gearing up for Tele-Prophetic Sideshow with a Seven Mountain

Backdrop stage prop.

13. YOU have to realize....

You're religious beliefs don't trump anyone's civil rights, nitwit.

14. The DEVIL? A HA! HA! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Good one!

These people are mentally ill.
