Cruz wacko: Obama ruined the country and Christmas by keeping Santa out of school

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/cruz-supporters-are-just-as-bonkers-as-trumps-obama-ruined-our-country-ruined-christmas/

snip: “I don’t like Obama no more,” the woman explained. “He’s ruined our country, ruined Christmas. He’s let the Muslims in. We can’t say that word, we’ve got to be ashamed of it — and we’re not ashamed people. We’re a proud people, and we’re gonna take our country back. So watch out, Obama! We’re coming.”

The reporter asked the woman to explain how Obama had ruined Christmas.

“He’s scared the little children,” she said. “They’re not allowed to have Santa Claus in the schools where, you know, it might offend the Muslims. But what about us?”

Her rantings about Christmas give me Claustrophobia. Cruz is a smarmy and lethal candidate.

You know back to a time when idiots like that were considered part of the lunatic fringe, instead of mainstream america.

The fundies usually express a rabid hatred for Santa, claiming he deflects worshipful attention from Baby Jesus. It's tragic what ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) can do to people.
