‘Your world is on fire’: Ted Cruz scares the hell out of a terrified little girl in New Hampshire

No but it will be if the neocons win control of all three branches of government again.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was forced to pause a speech in New Hampshire on Sunday after he reportedly terrified a little girl by shouting that her “world is on fire.”

While speaking at an event sponsored by the Strafford County Republican Committee, Cruz warned that there was an “urgency to politics today that is unlike anything any of us have ever seen.”

“It is now or never,” he explained. “I don’t think we’ve reached the point of no return yet. But we’re close. We are close! And I believe if we go four or eight more years on this same path, we risk losing the greatest country in the history of the world.”

“Millions of Americans are realizing this isn’t working,” the possible Republican presidential candidate continued. “The Obama economy is a disaster. Obamacare is a train wreck.”

“And the Obama-Clinton foreign policy of leading from behind — the whole world is on fire.”

Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam Smith noted on Twitter that Cruz had to pause his speech to respond to a little girl in the audience who was young enough to be carried by her mother.

“Ted Cruz literally just scared a little girl in NH,” Smith wrote. “‘The world is on fire?!’ she asked, repeating his line on Obama-Clinton foreign policy.”

so many of the poorer Rs think it is our fault? They have forgotten about history and are responding only to the fear.

In an equally apocalyptic op-ed in January, Norris cautioned that "civilization is on the brink."

"We need a veteran of political war who has already fought Goliath, because he will be facing Goliath's bigger brother," Norris wrote in the WND editorial, adding that Gingrich "is the best man left on the battlefield who is able to outwit, outplay and outlast Obama and his campaign machine."

Things will go badly if we don't do what conservatives want.

They'll make sure of it.

Ted Cruz is a monster.

That fucker is scaring old people and people who don't know better, but in the picture it looks like he's saying, "Don't worry kid! It's all just an act to get votes, see? Obama's actually doing a great job, but I can't tell my base that."

Maybe we should start calling him "Cashew Cruz" or "Peanuthead."
