Context. Alternatively, you could be a weirdo and ask, or who gives a poo poo.

Donald Trump's presidential bid surely must be our divine punishment (or reward?) for letting the gays do their thing, right? The threat of apocalyptic doom he represents is like an unequipped but eager arsonist always loitering outside your house.

I refuse to believe Donald Trump is an actual human being. He hasn't produced his birth certificate after all, so we can't be sure he's a citizen. Are we just supposed to trust he's also not an elaborate hoax by an alien intelligence? I think not. :smugdog:

quote:

"If a state clerk refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple, would you agree with that too?" she asked Cruz on Monday morning, noting that people who once objected to interracial marriage used religion to support their beliefs.


"There’s no religious backing for that," Cruz responded.

Guthrie then asked Cruz whether interracial marriage should be a state issue, even though the Supreme Court ruled that interracial marriage bans are unconstitutional.

"Of course not,' Cruz answered. "We fought a bloody civil war over the original sin of our country, that was slavery. Slavery was grotesque and immoral and some 600,000 Americans lost their lives, spilled their blood on American soil to expunge it."

He said that the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments honored "the promise of the Constitution."

Gotta say, I'm rather surprised that the media is drawing the comparison between denying marriage licenses to gays and miscegenation laws. Figured they would just let the GOP roll with the "religious freedom" excuse.

edit


Here we see Governor Christie trying to secure the GOP nomination.

Watch as the nomination turns and embraces Jeb! while Christie attempts to latch on to its coattails.

I believe both of these things could probably be covered by the SAS. Cold iron is cheap these days, is all I'm saying. Or, you could go find Arthur.

Cruz is so full of poo poo his eyes are brown. Spit in the air in the 50s and 60s and it would have landed on an rear end in a top hat justifying his opposition to interracial marriage because "God stands in opposition".

Hell, ThinkProgress (I know, I know, but it's worth a read) already has this covered.

No one has been comparing Jeb! to Romney in terms of secrecy on financials, so he's basically attempting to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

That's the polite version. Imagine a native New Jerseyan (or assholes, as we're known in the colloquial, giving a brief nod to our friend from overseas) explaining what that means in graphic detail. Nothing is going to sink his campaign (because fat floats) but when he gives up I'm curious what his next move is.
