Ted Cruz reallly says something stupid.

I know, redundant when it comes to Ted Cruz.

But this one is far more idiotic than what he's said so far.

Cruz Informs Home-schooled Kids: 'Job Of A Chaplain Is To Be Insensitive To Atheists'

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Tuesday explained to a group of children that atheists in the United States were working to take away their religious freedoms.

Speaking at the Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators, Cruz told parents and children as young as 3 that "school choice is the civil rights issue of the 21st century."

Cruz repeated a conspiracy theory that the Convention on the Rights of the Child would allow the United Nations to take parenting decisions away from Americans.

"Nothing in international law, nothing in any treaty should be used as a backdoor vehicle to undermine the rights of every parent here to raise your children consistent with your faith, with your good judgement and the love you have for your children," he said.

The possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate went on to cite a series of cases to assert that atheists were trying to destroy religious freedom in the United States.

"We have never seen an administration with such hostility to religious faith," Cruz opined. "You know, last year, there was a chaplain in the Air Force up in Alaska who wrote in a blog post the phrase 'There are no atheists in fox holes.' He was ordered by his supervising officer to take it down."

"I guess it was deemed insensitive to atheists. I kind of thought it was the job of a chaplain to be insensitive to atheists."

1. I just love it when this asshole is allowed to speak

without GOP handlers.

The crazy just comes spilling out like an overflowing dam and every word of this shit is pure red meat for the wacko base of the Republican party.

I don't think he has a hope in hell of getting the GOP nomination but he should be able to pull any other puke wannabe far enough off his/her game that it provides a lot of opportunity to hammer them on it in the genera.

7. When someone very smart says something very stupid,

it is time to ask why. You don't go through Harvard Law without learning to choose your words carefully.

4. It's only news when he DOESN'T say something stupid.

5. Teaching HATE to children...

Hate the atheist, hate the Jew, Hate the Buddhist, Hate the Hindu, Hate the Muslims, Hate the Democrats, Hate the Liberals, Hate the Progressives... This is the bottom line, Senator Cruz? You should be removed from anything that looks like an office.

6. For the record:

I remained an atheist whilst in my foxhole.

The only noticeable praying (pleading) with a deity I saw was from lapsed Christians who suddenly remembered that God loves toadying.
