I went to church with Ted Cruz. He is building an army of young Christian voters in Iowa
Salon ^ | November 20, 2015 | Robert Leonard

These Iowa voters buy into Fox News war on Christmas, and love Ted Cruz's patriotic, end-times rhetoric. Look out.

One of the more endearing customs of many of our small town Iowa churches on Sunday morning is story time. The pastor welcomes elementary and pre-school aged kids up front, where he or she sits with the children, and shares a parable. Often the pastor sits down on the steps leading up to the altar, and the children will sit, cross legged at the pastor’s feet.

Always the pastor picks a good story, something about the importance of friendship, kindness, sharing, telling the truth, feeding the hungry, or helping the poor. Good lessons to learn....

T thought I might get a sympathetic article from Salon for a change. It is snarky as usual.

I normally would stay as far as possible from a Salon article, but decided to read this one. What a pathetic, biases, steaming pantload of “analysis.” Mr. Leonard should stick to anthropology instead of politics. You wonder how people like this manage to put food on the table.

this is insanity. A Christian army, And I thought we had problems before!!!!

forgive 70 times 7!!!??? people are going to have to learn how to count to 490!!!

Turn the other cheek? People will be getting slapped all over the place!!

Telling Peter to put down the sword? What Jesus meant were fists were just as good.

The Beatitudes. That’s all code and you DONT WANT to know what they really mean!!!!

Mohammad was a stud. He slept with 9 year olds. Jesus just let himself get CRUCIFIED for us.

Get the @#$@$ out of here, salon, and get therapy. You’re really far gone. And lay off the crack pipe,

“I’ve seen Cruz a few times, and his speech is pretty much the same. Lots of destruction, no thought to the consequences”

Have they not seen how much Destruction Obama has done?

Oh right this is SALON....

And funny that the Liberals who have been using our education system as an indoctrination camp for decades is in a tizzy over one Sunday service.

Think about that image. Can you see it now? One of our soldiers on a Middle Eastern border, weapon in hand, telling a crowd of refugees, “Hey, Christians in this line, everyone else in that line over there!” If that image doesn’t horrify you, it should.
Lots of things horrify me about the ME. ISIS in particular. And Iranian mullahs. American government welcoming unoffending Christian refugees while preventing people even 1% likely to be terrorists from entering the US? Not so much.
