Ted Cruz Wishes Pope Shared His Fetish For Killing People
image:
He'll save you, red states! Hes a real saint
Ted Cruz (R-Catholic Church*), defender of all sperms, which are sacred, and all life, which is precious, and yadda yadda insincere baloney farts, is displeased with his pope and thinks he is just plain stupid WRONG. Now, as we vaguely understand or perhaps misunderstand Catholicism, mostly from watching Godfather movies and that one dickbag priest on the payroll at Fox News, telling the pope he is stupid WRONG is Not Kosher. Cruz is not permitted to say Nuh uh to his Catholic Church superiors, not even to second-class clergy, like nuns at least, not according to (OH HEY LOOK RIGHT HERE!) Ted Cruz.
But during his address to Congress on Thursday, the pope said the death penalty is bad and wrong and violates the Sanctity o Life, so BOO HISS AMERICA, STOP MURDERING PEOPLE. And yet, somehow, according to Mr. Ivy League Debate Skillz Cruz, that is some kind of easily dismissed hippie-dippy, hug-the-whales, save-the-trees, drive-a-hybrid papal bullcrap, because what kind of True Pro-Life Pro-Lifer doesnt believing in killing people, huh?
GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz said he disagrees with Pope Francis call Thursday to abolish the death penalty, calling the use of capital punishment a recognition of the preciousness of human life.

Funny how you are allowed to disagree with Church policy when your name is Ted Cruz, innit? But when your name is Any Democrat, well, youre warring on the Church and on religious freedom, and WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA, OBAMA? For Cruz, however, its different BECAUSE IT JUST IS, and unlike the godless (or maybe secret Muslim) Obama, Cruz has a Good Reason for disagreeing with Papa Frank:
I spent a number of years in law enforcement dealing with some of the worst criminals, child rapists and murderers, people whove committed unspeakable acts, Cruz said. I believe the death penalty is a recognition of the preciousness of human life, that for the most egregious crimes, the ultimate punishment should apply.

*Ted Cruz considers himself a Southern Baptist, despite his insistence that Catholic doctrine should dictate our law.

(60,334 posts)I had some right to life organization call me last week, I asked the women calling if she was going to take care of all these unaborted babies, feed them, clothe them and teach them.
She said that was not what they were trying to do. I told her at that point where she could stick it and hung up.

Don't get me started on puberty. If you black-lighted my room growing up, it'd probably look like a map of the Malay Archipelago.

(113,302 posts)many years ago, beverly lehaye (founder, concerned women for america) was on an afternoon talk show (phil donohue, I believe). the question of sex education in schools was being discussed. she actually said, on national tv, and I quote, "if we don't teach our teenagers about sex, they won't do it".
the audience burst into hysterical laughter, and phil tried very hard to maintain his composure. he looked at her, and said, "you don't really believe that, do you?" she swore that she did.
