Sen. Ted Cruz: ‘Anointed King’ Of Crazy
Posted on October 20, 2013 at 1:15 pm by Mr. Brink

A recent poll of Republicans indicate that Sen. Ted Cruz is as favorable as ever among a majority of the party(60%), and while the rest of the civilized world is debating sedition charges, Thom Hartmann was going on and on this week about this must-read piece from Madfloridian reminding the world that Sen. Ted Cruz is, in fact, a bona fide religious wackaloon, explaining the historical relationship between the same Evangelicals that got George W. Bush elected, and Senator Ted Cruz’s divine powers of ‘anointed dominion’ over America.

“Frightening” is one word I’d use to describe this. Psychotic is another. But don’t tell that to Rafael Cruz, Ted Cruz’s creepy father who believes it is his son’s right to take control over all sectors of society.

In a sermon last year at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz’ father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the “Seven Mountains” mandate, and “bring the spoils of war to the priests”, thus helping to bring about a prophesied “great transfer of wealth”, from the “wicked” to righteous gentile believers.

….Discussion of the now-notorious speech by Rafael Cruz has missed the fact that Ted Cruz was subsequently blessed and anointed by prominent dominionist pastors, in effect as a “king” in the political/governmental sphere, at a special blessing ceremony at the Marriott Hotel in Des Moines, Iowa, at a July 19th-20th 2013 rally designed to draw pastors into politics.

For one to take dominion over America to bring about “a prophesied ‘great transfer of wealth’ from the ‘wicked’ to the righteous,” one must first be anointed at the Marriott Hotel in Des Moines, Iowa.

The piece goes on to cite Bruce Wilson’s work connecting legendary Evangelical vote-suppressor, Paul Weyrich– whose career was based upon attacking liberals and government with ruthless abandon– to Ted Cruz, whom he personally mentored on how to be good little domestic terrorists for Republican Jesus, with devious nuggets of God-fearing wisdom, like these:

We will maintain a constant barrage of criticism against the Left. We will attack the very legitimacy of the Left. We will not give them a moment’s rest.

We will use guerrilla tactics to undermine the legitimacy of the dominant regime. We will take advantage of every available opportunity to spread the idea that there is something fundamentally wrong with the existing state of affairs. For example, we could have every member of the movement put a bumper sticker on his car that says something to the effect of “Public Education is Rotten; Homeschool Your Kids.” This will change nobody’s mind immediately; no one will choose to stop sending his children to public schools immediately after seeing such a bumper sticker; but it will raise awareness and consciousness that there is a problem. Most of all, it will contribute to a vague sense of uneasiness and dissatisfaction with existing society. We need this if we hope to start picking people off and bringing them over to our side. We need to break down before we can build up. We must first clear away the flotsam of a decayed culture.

Normally, I don’t get into outing Dominionists, but these people are sitting in places of power trying to destroy the government because it has been foretold by people like Rafael Cruz– a two-bit hustler for religious fanaticism– and a super majority of Republicans sing his praises.

It’s worth noting that these are the same people who want us to regret ever siding with President Obama over Republicans like Senator Ted Cruz. Because they are insane.

The title of your study disproves your claims. It says there've been only two decades of Greenland warming:
