Young Ted Cruz received an extremist education as early as middle school

[ZRT2209]

From MotherJones:

As Rafael Cruz recounted at the Hood County tea party event, he had a powerful role in shaping his son, introducing Ted, when he was in middle school, to the Free Enterprise Education Center, where the young Cruz was flooded with Austrian School libertarian economics and archly conservative interpretations of US history. Cruz excelled in this setting and went on to become part of a traveling road show of teens called the Constitutional Corroborators. They appeared at Rotary Club luncheons across the state to extol the wonders of the free market and the US Constitution. While the Rotarians ate lunch, the whiz kids transcribed from memory the articles of the Constitution on easels placed at the front of the room.

10. Rafael Cruz is

an extremely dangerous fanatic. These kind rise through the ranks through the lengths they'll go to, to shape the appearance of their vision. One can only hear obscurity if one listens.

the stories from his younger days of Ted Cruz torturing small animals or impersonating a cop.
