9 months ago Ted Cruz announced his bid for POTUS in front of 11,000 students at Liberty University. Nevermind that 3,000 who chose not to attend were fined $10 each by the university president, Jerry Falwell Jr.
President Falwell recently stood up in Chapel in front of those same 14,000 students and said, "I'm carrying a loaded weapon in my pocket and I want you all to go to the campus police and apply for permits to carry loaded weapons on campus because we want to be ready for those Muslims when they show up and teach them a lesson they won't forget."
He thinks it would be a good idea for his student population to arm and carry a loaded concealed weapon on his campus en masse in case something happens.
It is no overstatement to suggest that he is acting like someone rousing up a group of brown shirts in the 1930s. I find it utterly insane that a leader of a major American evangelical institution would preside over a campus of fully armed young people. What could possibly gone wrong with that plan? Even from the point of common sense, the unhinged fascistic tendency coming out of right wing America has now leaked into right wing Christianity.
