Ted Cruz: Gay Community Waging 'Jihad' Against Religious Freedom

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 4/10/2015 10:25 am

During a presidential candidate forum hosted by an Iowa homeschool group yesterday, Ted Cruz lashed out at the gay community for waging a “jihad” against so-called religious freedom laws in states such as Arkansas and Indiana.

Cruz, speaking at a panel moderated by conservative talk show host Steve Deace, who regularly castigates the “Rainbow Jihad,” told the crowd of homeschooling activists that they should fear “the jihad that is being waged right now in Indiana and Arkansas, going after people of faith who respect the biblical teaching that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”

By condemning this gay “jihad,” Cruz said, he could “bring people together” to defend religious freedom.

2. When is the screwed up mass media finally going to admit Republicans have gone all-in on religious?

Jihad this, jihad that, everything and everyone not totally agreeing with the cult is an enemy of the cult....yet here we, forced by a brain-dead media to have to think for even a nano-second that any of these Christian extremists could be President?!

The very thought is an assault on reason.

3. To those who say neither party is worth voting for because "both parties are the same"...

...I bring to your attention:

Exhibit A: Ted Cruz.

4. I give it to him, he sure knows how to pander to his base...

he tells them exactly what they want to hear. Let the fear-mongering begin.

[Takket]

5. the only people waging jihad are those like Cruz

He is fighting a jihad against gays, the poor, women, blacks, atheists.... anyone that doesn't think or look like him is a target for persecution under his holy war. The American Taliban and their desire to reserve all wealth and power for white males through the bastardization of Christianity is essentially the very definition of jihad.

7. Good. At least the facemasks will be well color-matched not just basic black

and those depressingly drab camo outfits will be changed into something more stylish.

8. Let Cruz keep ....

... playing to the 30% idiot-contingent that think he has a point. The other 70% get pushed farther and farther away every time he does.

9. Christian killers are waging a Jihad against abortion providers

...and in this case, it's been documented.

How about Cruz come up with actual facts with back up material.

Improvised Explosive Glitter Bombs?

14. FReepers are already calling pro marriage rights folks Gayhadis. When they are not calling them

sodomites, queers, rump rangers and a host of other, dare I say it, gay hating epithets.
