Ted Cruz is such a patriot that he wrapped himself so tightly in the flag that it cut off circulation to brain.

In his very best robot voice, he called for FREEDOM!  Religious Freedom!

He even prayed for it.

And hired some people to pray with him, and called Hollywood to make a little halo thingy hang over his head.  And there fairy dust on his shoulders, no wait, that’s dandruff.

And he gave a speech.

“If I’m elected president,” Cruz shouted, “I will instruct the Department of Justice and the IRS and every other federal agency that the persecution of religious liberty ends today!”

Or maybe next week.

Two days later, this happened.

In a rebuke of Donald Trump’s plan to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 16-4 Thursday on an amendment that confirms that the U.S. should not block people from the country because of their religion.

The four “no” votes were Sens. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, Thom Tillis, R-North Carolina, David Vitter, R-Louisiana and GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

See, I told you he ain’t getting enough blood to his brain.

In Ted’s mind, freedom of religion means you’re free to be a Baptist, a Methodist, a Church of Christ, an Evangelical Lutheran, or a Presbyterian.  He’s a little leery of Catholics because … well, they’re not Baptists.

Thanks to Bryan and Larry for the heads up.
