p>Those tolerant liberals have been at it again. Ted Cruz and evangelicals were public enemy no. 1 and 2 on Comedy Central’s The Nightly Show March 24. Host Larry Wilmore brought on liberal comedian Lewis Black, Actor and former member of the Obama Administration Kal Penn, pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson, and only one conservative, Amy Holmes, anchor for The Blaze TV, to discuss Ted Cruz’s run for President.
The discussion began with Lewis Black blasting Cruz as a relic of the segregated past.
BLACK: “We’ve lived through this before. This is 1956. If he had appeared at Liberty University and it was shot in black and white, then I’d go, ‘I get it.’ This is someone who should never have made it to color television.”
Black then went on to bash the evangelical students at Liberty, for supposedly condemning him to hell.
BLACK: “Can I say as a Jew, for him to speak at Liberty University in front of those students, the born-again evangelicals, they kind of believe that if we don't accept Christ, if I don’t accept Christ into my life, I'm going hell. So it’s not really a place for me to jump in and go, ‘Oh boy! What a great candidate!’ I cut out 90 percent of what he said. He believes I’m going to hell, so what are we talking about?”
Blaze TV anchor Amy Holmes jumped in here to contest Lewis’ statement. “I don’t think those students would say that,” she stated. Black and Holmes went back-and-forth arguing that point before Holmes called out Black for his intolerance:
HOLMES: “Many of those students would say that it is not for them to decide, that they have accepted Jesus into their heart. But are you saying, that someone who is an open Christian, who wears their religion on their sleeve, shouldn’t be President of the United States? That doesn’t make sense!”
BLACK: “That isn’t what I said.
WILMORE: “That’s not what he said.”
BLACK: “That isn’t even what I said! You took the joke and drove down a bad highway.”
Actually, it’s pretty clear that’s what Black did mean. The rest of the discussion confirmed Black and Wilmore’s anti-Christian bias as the bashing became more aggressive.
Larry Wilmore then went on to claim candidates “like Scott Walker” who won’t answer questions from reporters about their belief or disbelief in human evolution shouldn’t be eligible to run for President.
WILMORE: What is the problem there? I mean, why do you have to suck up to people who don’t believe in the actual science of how the earth came to be, in order to be President?”
HOLMES: “Actually, a huge percentage of Americans believe in creationism, and creationism as how human beings came into this world.”
WILMORE: “And you want to suck up to those people to run for president, who believe the Earth is 6,000 years old?”
HOLMES: “What I’m saying is, I think we need to have a little bit more respect at this table and in politics for people who are evangelical, who believe in creationism, and believe in a Biblically-based life.”
This call for respect amazingly drew boos from the audience. Wilmore continued with his call for intolerance by saying, “Someone who’s making the most important decisions in the world should not believe the Earth is 6,000 years old.” The audience cheered at this statement. “I’m sorry – I don’t have respect for that. I do not,” he concluded.

...and we care what this putz thinks...why?
So we should vote for a guy who hides his muslim religion? Yeah look how that worked out.
The founders specifically banned a religious test for office, even if it is a test for Humanism.
“Can I say as a Jew, for him to speak at Liberty University in front of those students, the born-again evangelicals, they kind of believe that if we don’t accept Christ, if I don’t accept Christ into my life, I’m going hell. So it’s not really a place for me to jump in and go, ‘Oh boy! What a great candidate!’ I cut out 90 percent of what he said. He believes I’m going to hell, so what are we talking about?”
He seems awfully concerned about what others think of his eternal destination, instead of what God says about it.
So they basically have to announce that anybody believing in The Bible, either Old or New Testament, IS NOT ALLOWED TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. This is what it comes down to - if you’re a God fearing Christian or Jew, you are disqualified from running for president. Naturally, that would also apply for Senators, Governors, any public office.
Yeah, ‘cause atheists in politics have done such a GREAT job of creating humane, prosperous and free societies over the last 100 years.

SOUNDS FAMILIAR...

How is this issue relevant to being POTUS?
Another Hispanophobe...
I can’t begin to imagine how really ugly this is going to get if it’s this bad now.
Somebody who believes God made us should not be president?
I’m not voting for a scientist, I’ll be voting for a President.
What does belief, or disbelief, in creationism, or global warming, or a hollow Earth, have to do with ability to govern, if this belief does not impact upon daily judgment?
Now, if a belief in some idiosyncrasy is, in and of itself, so overwhelming that it approaches psychosis, then it may be a limiting factor in being able to function in today’s world.
I point to Al Gore, who does not even use replicable reasoning while arriving at his conclusions on the cause and course of “climate change”. The “cure” he calls for is to limit human behavior through regulation or taxation. And maybe a huge die-back of the human population.
Ted Cruz differs from this degree of commitment to an article of faith. Belief in creationism does not lead to heavier regulations or higher taxes.
The long knives are already coming out.
