If you have a sense of humor, you'll get a chuckle hearing Ted's joke about the artwork that he included in his speech on 3/27/2015 at the Young America's Foundation Freedom Conference in NH. Cruz makes a connection between the poster and other things that young people can do to connect, make people laugh, tell stories and motivate their young peers about Constitutional liberties.
Use this video link cued up to the appropriate time in the speech about the poster:
Ted Cruz - Young America's Foundation - Freedom Conference - New Hampshire - 3/27/15
Cruz has embraced and endorsed the picture. He is selling it. At the same time we’re told he’s the candidate for evangelicals.
Ok. Do this. Name one prominent evangelical who is promoting nudity, full body tattoos, the prison-look, and smoking.
It can be anyone of prominence. A pastor. A youth minister. A singer. A well known evangelical, perhaps, who is promoting cigarettes, etc., out of ‘humor.’
Just one.
I’ll wait.
Unmarked, thank you for posting that link. I remember seeing that clip of Cruz’s remarks about the tough guy image done by Sabo. Cruz truly is a tough guy in spite of his ordinary appearance in real life.
That said, I don’t actually think it’s going to make any difference to our pious friend. He seems to be looking for some desperately wicked thing he can hang on Cruz in order to make Trump look more appealing to Bible-believing Christians. To this Bible-believing Christian, there are many things about Trump that are off-putting, but one of the more odious is showing up at a rally with his Bible as a prop. “Looky! I have a Bible! I told you people that I’m a Christian!” Well, that settles it! I know I’m convinced!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Hey, Donald! May I recommend Matthew 5:39 and 40 for your consideration. BTW, that’s in the New Testament. And before you put your Bible away to once again collect dust, flip over to Proverbs 15:1 (Old Testament) and see if you might be able to find some wisdom in that passage.
