Here's why Ted Cruz is so damn arrogant.

Just read about his Father, a theocrat and religious bigot.

Talk about a spoiled brat...

Cruz' Father Suggests Ted Cruz "Anointed" to "Bring The Spoils Of War To The Priests"

"The pastor [Huch] referred to Proverbs 13:22, a little while ago, which says that the wealth of the wicked is stored for the righteous. And it is through the kings, anointed to take dominion, that that transfer of wealth is going to occur." - Rafael Cruz, August 26, 2012

In a sermon last year at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz' father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as "kings" to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the "Seven Mountains" mandate, and "bring the spoils of war to the priests", thus helping to bring about a prophesied "great transfer of wealth", from the "wicked" to righteous gentile believers.

right wing Trolling pays well. this rotten sob knows exactly what he is doing and saying. And his reasoning behind it. The same old thing. Money and the lust thereof. With all the loot being channeled into his little coffer, he won't care if he gets elected or not. and he need not think he would ever be President. Please as soon as he did a spike in the polls his own Party challengers would start asking for his Birth certificate

we need to show up loaded for bear. These are the people who literally want the bible to be the law of the land and not the constitution. Stonings and all.
