Considering Ted Cruz As President, And Shuddering

I WANTED TO FIND OUT whether presidential candidate Ted Cruz believes in evolution, and I don't think he does. The internet seems to indicate that he indeed does not, which I suspected. Senator Cruz wants to capture the evangelical Christian vote, so disavowing Darwin would indeed be the politically correct thing for him to do. Cruz is chairman of a senate science sub committee, which, considering his apparent ignorance of and lack of interest in science, is somewhat of a joke. What did he do at Harvard, other than study the U.S. Constitution? Since he was fourteen, Cruz has studied the U.S. Constitution like some sort of sacred manuscript. Speaking of the U.S. constitution, the best thing that could possibly happen to it would be to replace it with an updated version, which could easily be modeled on the traditional one, but much improved. Let it retire, the poor tired old thing. Its earned it. But for conservatives like Cruz, this is unthinkable, since in their world traditional documents are somewhat sacred. Can you imagine an updated version of the Bible, one in which the Earth is described as round, and does not rest upon four pillars? Perish the thought. Tradition must be preserved at all costs, even if, in order to preserve it, evolution, climate change, the round earth, the need for progressive economic reform, and the very existence racism are denied. Can you imagine Ted Cruz or someone like him becoming President? All attempts by the United States to halt climate change would evaporate, prayer would return to public schools, along with creationism in science classes, and the government would vanish from all participation in the American economy, leaving it under the control of our elite wealthy corporate masters. Happy New Year!
