Worms & Lightening Rods [View all]
"Not every man who throws worms in the water is a friend of the fish." -- Malcolm X
It's hard to find an official as repulsive as Ted Cruz, but stick with me here. Ronald Reagan's first Secretary of the Interior was James Watt. He was widely known as the most anti-environmental ever to hold that position. Although he would later deny saying it, Watt had been quoted as saying something along the lines of using up natural resources would bring about the return of Christ.
I remember watching this being reported on the news with my father. I said, "What a flaming asshole!" My father replied, "No, no. This is a tactic republicans use in a crunch. Watt is serving as a lightening rod, to keep people focusing on him, rather than more criminal things."
When Ted Cruz talks about his "one door" policy, he isn't serious. He's trying to distract the attention away from the discussion about if Amendment 2 is intended to protect the "rights" of shit-stains to commit mass-murder. He is dangling his schriveled penis like a worm, hoping to our attention on him. Cruz does not believe in the nonsense he utters.
As the Civil Rights saying from my youth noted, "Kepp your eyes on the prize."
