Then you proceed to criticize Cruz. Funny how Trumpsters do that.
How's this?
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz whose father is Rafael Cruz, a rabid right-wing Christian preacher and the director of the Purifying Fire International ministry â and legions of the senators wealthy supporters, some of whom orchestrated the shutdown, are rooted in a radical Christian ideology known as Dominionism or Christian Reconstructionism.
This ideology calls on anointed Christian leaders to take over the state and make the goals and laws of the nation biblical. It seeks to reduce government to organizing little more than defense, internal security and the protection of property rights. It fuses with the Christian religion the iconography and language of American imperialism and nationalism, along with the cruelest aspects of corporate capitalism. The intellectual and moral hollowness of the ideology, its flagrant distortion and misuse of the Bible, the contradictions that abound within it â its leaders champion small government and a large military, as if the military is not part of government â and its laughable pseudo-science are impervious to reason and fact. And that is why the movement is dangerous.
The cult of masculinity, as in all fascist movements, pervades the ideology of the Christian right. The movement uses religion to sanctify military and heroic âvirtues,â glorify blind obedience and order over reason and conscience, and pander to the euphoria of collective emotions. Feminism and homosexuality, believers are told, have rendered the American male physically and spiritually impotent. Jesus, for the Christian right, is a man of action, casting out demons, battling the Antichrist, attacking hypocrites and ultimately slaying nonbelievers.
Wait till the media starts running with this.
