Ted Cruz puts out children's coloring book. The Internet responds with hilarious reviews on Amazon.
There's a coloring book about Sen. Ted Cruz that's aimed at instilling extremist conservative values early, and it's been selling like crazy. The Internet struck back -- with some wickedly funny reviews posted on Amazon.
"I didn't know how well I'd enjoy this book, seeing as how I only have white crayons. But, as it turns out, that's the only color required! Magnificent!"
"This book showed up just in time, as my daughter had recently finished her 'Connect the Dots Mein Kampf.'"
"What a great idea! Unfortunately my son tried to color this book in and the GOP arrived to filibuster his coloring activities so he has not been able to use it yet."

I have been struggling to teach my nephew the meaning of hypocrisy. Thankfully, this Ted Cruz coloring book does a magnificent job of illustrating what I've had trouble putting into terms an 8 year old can understand. I hope they have a Michelle Bachman coloring book so that I can teach my niece about feminism!

I thanked him because I was going to get the coloring book for just that purpose and I had just assumed it would be as soft as Ted Cruz's brain. I said I would just stick with Charmin.

(27,985 posts)I think Ted Cruz is soft in the head. I think Sarah Palin is too. Finding out his coloring book isn't as soft as his head was very helpful for me.

(24,721 posts)"More like a history book! Who knew I could get so much information from a coloring book!?! History and hate, all wrapped into one easy to understand book! I'm planning to distribute these to all of the colored, gay, and non-Christian children in my neighborhood in hopes that they all vacate my country! Only problem is that I, as well as 75% of the people I know, will have to leave with them...."

"I was hesitant to order this for my child because I could have easily used the $6 for a few bird-shot shells, but heck, my kids need to know who has our back in Washington.
"We recently spent nine hours waiting for emergency medical care (I won't be force-fed Dumbocrat insurance) but it flew by for my boy, all thanks to this Activity Book. Whether we were reinforcing the polar ice caps or drawing lines between bullets and trespassers in Florida, my child was able to color through his tears like a real American. I plan to buy another copy to keep it handy for the next time we have a shooting accident. (Poor little fella lost enough blood that I doubt he'll remember having done it already.)"

"Where is my oil field?!
When I purchased this item, I was told that it would reflect my Texan Tea Party life in terms my child could understand. My oil field and fracking pumps are not depicted in this anywhere! I also have not seen a tree or butterflies in years. The evil EPA says it is the oil leaking from one small little hole that has caused the tree and wildlife deaths. I am still convinced that they put something in my water supply as I can still light my tap water on fire.
I do like Green Eggs and Ham, though.
I don't know why the other reviews speak of only having white crayons; mine had a couple shades of brown with instructions that it was for coloring the maid and gardener (they were thoughtful enough to put those images on the backside of the pages and are only accessible if the book is turned upside down). Still, VERY disappointed that my oil and gas rigs are not shown, though."

"Favorite Canadian Author.
While I am a great fan of the classic Anne of the Green Gables series, no one takes me back to the 19th century like Canada's own Ted Cruz. God bless you, Ted!"

"My dog ate it.
Soon after opening the Amazon package and placing this book on my coffee-table, my dog (unbeknownst to me) got ahold of it and ate most of it. As a result, my dog is now deaf, blind, and has a severe limp to the right. I'm thinking of suing."

"Good lesson about life for the GOP.
I've been trying to pass the legacy of hatred and judgmental attitude I pride myself on having, down to my children. I especially want them to learn how slavery was a giving thing we white people did for the black people (BTW black people, a thank-you would be nice). So I love how this book has all the color crayons doing all the work while the white crayon just sits in its box and reaps the benefits. Great life lessons. I ordered this in conjunction with the KKK Alphabet book and "Bedtime Stories for kids" by Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Signed,
Rick Perry"

This book is awesome! I bought it for my kids! They love the 2nd Amendment so much now!
In fact, I am so proud of my youngest! He shot my man-parts off! I couldn't be prouder.
So WHEN this out of control government comes with their army, navy, Air Force, marines and drones for our guns - me, Gertie, Bubba, Cletus will be ready and waiting!
🎵O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee 🎵

Changed my views completely - March 25, 2014
This review is from: Ted Cruz to the Future - Comic Coloring Activity Book (Paperback)
After finishing this coloring book with my daughter, I suddenly realize how wrong I've been all along. I now realize that the term "Black people" is an oxymoron, because blacks aren't people! Same with with gays and poor people.
I can't believe it took an immigrant to make me realize how wrong the idea of immigrants are! While America may have started as the melting pot, we've now got all the smartest people, so it's time to close those borders. Well, once my sister is law and her family are here, anyway. But then we'll close them.
This book really enlightened me as to how gays and blacks are dangerous and how much better we were as a country 50 years ago when they were illegal.
Further, Barack Hussein Obummer has created so many regulations that companies can't make money anymore.
Back when Obummer made it illegal for kids to work in factories, he got rid of thousands of jobs!
Do people realize how effective Agent Orange was before Obummer made that illegal too?
And then we all complain that things cost too much. When Obummer caused the dot com bubble, it was because he put too much regulation on the stock markets, so that free market capitalism couldn't work because the regulations made you pay for a trade thus removing the "free" in free market capitalism.
Stand with me all we all agree to "Cruz to the future" by Cruz'ing back to the early 1900s. Let's turn this ship around!

(182,824 posts)A friend of a friend had purchased several of these for her church's Sunday School children and asked me to hold on to them. 31 books! Given that they probably wouldn't know if one book was missing, I took one and delivered the rest to said friend-of-friend's church (which is only a few blocks from my house). And when I opened it I was shocked. Absolutely shocked.
First of all, let me discuss my criticism of the cover. Where are the guns? Jesus: Nowhere to be found. Not even a flag (and no, ladies and gentleman, the suit/tie ensemble doesn't count). However, my biggest gripe is with this caricature of Cruz standing next to a tree. How does that help us know he's for businesses? It doesn't! How will children be able to identify? Dirty LIEberal plant, is what that is. Why not have him shaking the had of a CEO--you know, the job-creaters of this great nation--or some such thing? Damn Demoncrats,
Then there's the fact that there are still lines in the book! For children to color in! Lazy Millennials, the lot of them. When I was a kid, I had to draw the lines myself if I wanted to color in them. How is this helping children know that they need to bootstrap themselves up if they want to get anywhere in life? For shame, Mr. Cruz: I thought you were a Patriot.
And then there's the common cry of mispellings and grammar in the book. Remember, people: We've got to pay for useful military weapons and the such! We cant just spend more on education without leaving ourselves open to attack from the likes of those Middle-Eastern terrorist types. Besides, Fox News said that because of spellchecking and the like, we don't need to learn about that proper english stuff.
And i'm surprised, what with this whole Obummer-backed fudge-packing Sodomite Agenda against God and Country, that there were any facts put into this book at all. That, I believe, is the only redeeming qualty of this book. This artbook tries to bring to children the important issues we face today as a contry in 24 pages.
If not for these democRAT publishing companies, I'm sure the God-given truth Cruz wanted to deliver to our children. God, Guns, and Country my fellow Trun Patroits!

We spend all day listening to Skrewdriver and breaking the brown crayons.
Prussian Blue and Skrewdriver are neo-Nazi bands, for those not familiar with them.
