Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz appeared to get cut off in the middle of his speech at a popular religious conservative convention in Washington, D.C.
Cruz, one of the first speakers to kick off the Faith and Freedom Coalition's "Road to Majority" conference, spoke for just nine minutes before an abrupt ending.
"What I want to say to the men and women here are two things: number one, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for your prayers, thank you for your passion, thank you for your time, thank you for your energy, thank you for speaking out and working to retake our nation," Cruz said.
You know I have had a lot of truly rewarding experiences in my life, but few were quite as satisfying as watching this arrogant asshole left stunned right in the middle of shoveling his bullshit into the audience.
I cannot imagine who actually goes to listen to this pompous idiot give a speech without having somebody holding gun to their heads.
During the primaries I used to mute my TV whenever Cruz was giving a speech, or responding to questions, since just hearing his voice while looking at his smug face would make me want to do him serious bodily injury.
Everything about Cruz irritates me.
In fact this video may be the first one I have seen which I enjoyed even a little. And actually I enjoyed it quite a lot.
What was it that Al Franken said about Ted Cruz?
"I probably like Ted Cruz more than most of my colleagues like Ted Cruz, and I hate Ted Cruz."
Oh yeah, I think that pretty much says it all.
Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Today is the Faith and Freedom Summit in Iowa. Where conservative presidential candidates gather to give a reach around to Jesus.
Courtesy of The Wall Street Journal:
For Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum – who won Iowa’s last two caucuses on the strength of evangelical voters – doing well at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition’s gathering this weekend is a must.
“Santorum and Huckabee are the two who really have the most at stake,” said Sam Clovis, a Sioux City social conservative who placed second to Joni Ernst in Iowa’s 2014 GOP Senate primary. “Between Huckabee and Santorum, they need to come back and recapture some of that magic they had in ’12 and ’08.”
Altogether, nine Republicans likely to make 2016 presidential bids are scheduled to speak at Saturday’s Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition Spring Kick-Off . The subtext for the event won’t be subtle: It is taking place at the evangelical Point of Grace megachurch in Waukee, a Des Moines suburb, and will attract the leading activists from Iowa’s social conservative community.
Well this is the can't miss event of the year for those Republican candidates who want to lock down that holier than thou vote.
But wait, something seems amiss.
According to that announcement up above, Cruz, Fiorina, Jindal, Santorum and Walker are all definitely coming. While Bush, Carson, Christie, Graham, Huckabee, Paul, Pence, Perry, Rubio, and Trump have all been invited to show up.
But somebody's missing.
Oh that's right.
But wait, even if she is NOT running why would she skip this event?
After all it has her favorite things. Faith, freedom, free publicity, and yet she is not only not a confirmed speaker, but it appears that she was not even invited.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that the last time she showed up in Iowa, this last January for the Freedom Summit (Just freedom, no faith.), that she made such an incredibly incoherent speech that she actually received thanks from the Democrats?
Is it possible that she has finally made herself such a laughingstock that even the Iowa freedom loving faithful cannot stomach her act anymore? And is that also why she bailed out of her NRA appearance in Nashville?
Could this actually be the end?

Conservatives are now quite literally pissing on President Obama.

Courtesy of Mediaite: The 2014 Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference is underway in Washington, D.C. and one of the fun features they have apparently included this year is the ability to pee directly on President Barack Obama’s face. That’s right, there are Obama urinal cakes in the men’s room.
Now remember this is the Faith and Freedom Coalition who describe themselves thusly:
We believe that the greatness of America lies not in the federal government but in the character of our people — the simple virtues of faith, hard work, marriage, family, personal responsibility, and helping the least among us. If we lose sight of these values, America will cease to be great.
Yes such great virtues and character these self proclaimed religious folks express don't you agree?
And exactly what kind of "real" American actually urinates on an image of their Commander-in-Chief anyhow?
