| Ted Cruz and Glenn Beck in Iowa (Cruz is the one in blue) |
Yes, it's come down to the islamophobe* casino mogul vs. the Joe McCarthy lookalike with the whacky Christian fundie links. Don't blame me, man, I'm originally from Massachusetts.
So yesterday we reported that The Mahound had been instantly deleted from the largest Google+ conservative group for not being anti-Trump enough and for making a joke about the Mormon angel Moroni.
Well, the plot has now thickened.
Ted Cruz, now the great white hope of the Republican anti-Trumpsters (unless and until there is a brokered convention) has apparently gone full-Mormon. After being backhandedly "endorsed" by Mitt Romney, Cruz was introduced by Glenn Beck at a Utah campaign rally as being, along with Mormon junior senator Mike Lee, a fulfillment of Mormon prophecy. Beck also drew attention to a young Mormon kid who had been fasting every Tuesday for a Cruz electoral win: "This is the new priesthood rising!"
In other news, establishment conservative and lapsed Catholic Dinesh D'Souza announced that he is getting married again. D'Souza resigned from the Presidency of King's College a few years ago after appearing at a Christian conference with a young twenty-something blonde who he claimed was his new fiancé, though it was quickly pointed out that he was still married to his first wife, Dixie at the time. The new new fiancé is a Venezuelan brunette (no word on what happened to the blonde).
Ted Cruz's father--ultra-"family values" minister Rafael Cruz--will officiate at the wedding.
The crisis continues.
*Not that there's anything wrong with it.
