There Is Dumb and there is Dumber

Texas Senaterrible Rafael (Creepy & Sleazy) Cruz had a John (Civil War Veteran) McCain moment this week.  He named Snarly Carly (I Can Run Any Company Into The Ground) Fiorina as his running mate. Snarly doesn’t quite come down to Sarah (Half-Ass Governor, Full-Time Moron) Palin level of ignorance, but she makes up for it by being a total asshole. I’m not sure why little Rafael thinks he is going to win the nomination, but I would say his odds of getting it are about the same as the sun rising in the west in the morning.

Cruz’s Stepford wife Heidi-Doody who is obliviously not dealing with a full deck (after all she is married to this dufus),  jumped into the stupidity game also this week by making this comment, “We are at a cultural crossroads in our country, and if we can be in this race to show this country the face of the God that we serve — this Christian God that we serve is the foundation of our country, our country was built on Judeo-Christian values, we are a nation of freedom of religion, but the God of Christianity is the God of freedom, of individual liberty, of choice and of consequence,”  Evidently Heidi’s home schooling didn’t include history books.

Here is what the founding fathers say about being a Christian Nation.

"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
--John Adams

“Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.”
James Madison

“History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Congress has no power to make any religious establishments.”
Roger Sherman, Congress, August 19, 1789

“The legislature of the United States shall pass no law on the subject of religion.”
Charles Pinckney, Constitutional Convention, 1787

“Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.”
Thomas Paine

“I wish it (Christianity) were more productive of good works … I mean real good works … not holy-day keeping, sermon-hearing … or making long prayers, filled with flatteries and compliments despised by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the Deity.”
Benjamin Franklin —

And of course the patron saint of the GOP and Creepy Cruz’s hero.

Stay tuned for future adventures.
