Cruz guilty of demagoguery
Sunday morning I arose early, turned on the news to the headline, “There is no room for Christians in today’s Democratic Party”— Republican candidate for president, Ted Cruz.
To say that I was incensed would be an understatement. I could not believe a candidate for president, or anyone in a position of leadership, could make such an assertion. For a person to set himself up in judgment to decide who is Christian and who is not, puts himself in the position of God....
...Until war’s end, Jews and others were killed by the millions to rid Germany of its “problem.”
I am not about to compare Cruz to Hitler, but his words certainly compare. Propaganda defines “the problem,” selects a scapegoat and transfers people’s fear and anger by laying and implying that getting rid of the scapegoat, brings about the “final solution” to our problem.
Cruz may as well have said, “We can solve our problems with God and country, if we just eliminate those Democrats.” Entering the sphere of hate, Cruz’s rhetoric went beyond political speak....

Well, they went there pretty quick.
Godwin says they just lost the argument.
At the main article he also infers that we’re like ISIS.
you just knew it was coming - reductio ad hitlerum
Who?
John Mayo...
Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s hair stylist?
Actually, when one dog starts yelping, they all start! lol
No, Rand Paul’s.
;^)
Ironic - the Party that attacks Christians at every turn gets its panties all twisted up when they can twist someone else s words to make it seem like their own Christianity has been questioned.
How funny coming from the party doing its best to eliminate Christians worldwide, wipe out heterosexuals, and abandon the millennia of acquired wisdom and just plain common sense of mankind. They are just like the communists who wanted to create a “new man” who remembered nothing about his once-free past and was a slave to the Godless state.
Projection much? That, too, is a most common communist technique — slander your opponent with what you yourself are doing.
LOL!
Methinks that would prolly cause an uptick in his polling numbers. d;^)
I'm not a religious scholar, but I don't see how current "democratic" policy is compatible with Christianity either. A point that made for "lively table fare" at previous Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings.
Our nation's capital has become infected with liberal fascists. Our schools and universities have been corrupted, our military is now being destroyed, and our economy is being destroyed.
I don't know if our country is beyond repair, but if Cruz or Walker is elected, I hope they start the dismantling of the liberal fascist networks.
“We can solve our problems with God and country, if we just eliminate those Democrats.”
Have truer words been said this year?
Didn’t they vote to take the word “God” out of the democrat party platform?
LOL
I was wondering who from the darkside would make that tired, worn-out comparison of one of the GOP contenders to Hitler.
Godwin’s Law still applies...
Scared sh!tless they be.
Is john mayo allowed to post on the internet from the rec room of the local mental institution where he is committed?
