Former MS Democrat lawmaker John Mayo compares @TedCruz’s words to Hitler propaganda

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....

When Hillary was buzzing thru Mein Kampf and
getting her staff to read it also, Ted was studying
the Constitution in order to learn how to protect it.

The only people those like him convince are those not normally predisposed to be actually reading something political on the internet anyway.

His ‘constituency’ on things like this are better effected by 140 character tweets, frankly.

Hitler would have banned the Christian religion had he won WW II. The plan was ready, waiting for his signature. (As per J. Goebbels diary) Its a bad comparison when it comes to Cruz. Then, again, Cruz must be crushed before the convention!!

Dear John,

You can’t be a Democrat and be a Born Again Christian. Democrats believe that sin is ok, and that murder is ok, and fornication is ok, and that adultery is ok, and that stealing is ok. Jesus had a word for that. It’s called Hypocrite.

At the main article he also infers that we’re like ISIS.

You mean Cruz is awesome, picked on, and misunderstood? (from the liberal ISIS apologist perspective)

To determine whether someone is a Christian, you need to discern whether their beliefs closely correspond to those of the early church. There is room for disagreement or uncertainty in some matters, but there is no doubt whatsoever that the early church condemned homosexuality and abortion.

Hence, one who accepts homosexuality and abortion is arguably not a Christian, and those who do NOT accept those things are NOT welcome in the Democratic Party. You don't need to claim to be God to see that - it's in plain sight.

This in a way reminds me of the love/hate relatonship lib/proh types in NYC had with Cardinal O'Connor. When he criticized the eeeevil Reagan Adminisration over nuclear proliferation and failing to "do enough" for AIDS reaearch and helpong the poor he was a GOOD Cardinal. When he reiterated the Catholic Church's stand against abortion, promiscuity and homosexuality, he was a BAD Cardinal.

“We can solve our problems with God and country, if we just eliminate those Democrats.”

Actually John, that’s a good suggestion, if you mean through honest elections, but being a good democrat you probably have as much disdain for an honest election as haley barbour does. You apparently haven’t been keeping up with what democrats are doing regarding things like prayer, abortion, marriage and Christianity, democrats do seem to be okay with islam though.
