Ted Cruz Event Gives 'Courage' Award to State Rep Who Gave Away Adoptees to Molester

Ted Cruz Event Gives 'Courage' Award to State Rep Who Gave Away Adoptees to Molester
Quote:Arkansas State Representative Justin Harris, who gave away his adopted daughters to a child molester because he and his wife thought they were possessed by demons, will be given an award for courage at a dinner for Senator Ted Cruz tonight. Harris and a fellow state representative, Charlene Fite, are being commended for “standing strong in faith.”

The Arkansas Times’ Benjamin Hardy wrote a stellar, multi-part, Pulitzer-worthy series on how Harris and his wife “rehomed” two adopted children with a man named Eric Cameron Francis, who raped one of them, a six-year-old child. Francis was convicted of rape and second-degree sexual assault, and will serve 40 years in prison.

Meanwhile, the The Family Council Action Committee, a “family values” organization associated with the national, hotly anti-gay and anti-abortion Focus on the Family, thinks Justin Harris deserves some recognition for his bravery. Hardy reports he will be awarded a “Power of Courage” award at the Crawford County Republican Party’s “Lincoln Day” Dinner in Van Buren. According to the ticketing information, which you can see here, the dinner will be held at Van Buren High School beginning at 6 pm.

It is amazing what sort of people win awards.  And it is another example of the use of the phrase "family values" in connection with people whose values are so very bad.

I'm so ashamed to be an American sometimes.

Quote:He said DHS' threat to charge him with abandonment could have cost him custody of his three biological sons (and, though he did not say so, could have cost him his business as well, Growing God's Kingdom preschool).

Awesome. It turns out the guy that abandoned children to a sexual predator owns a pre-school.

Pee-Wee Herman gets banned from being around kids for masturbating to a triple X movie, but a guy like this is allowed to run a preschool. What are the standards by which we measure dangerous people, again?

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Yes.  The more one looks at the details of the whole story, the more "awesome" it is.  Reading all of the material at the links within the story quoted in the opening post gives one quite a picture of these award-winning parents.

Truth be told I would have been surprised if they hadn't given the award to a scumbag. What really amazes me is, they don't seem the least bit aware of being despicable lowlives. I know you shouldn't go by appearances but when seeing Ted Cruz, the first thing coming to mind is a kick to the face.

And people wonder why I despise "faith."

I didn't read that whole article, but I've read enough of it to make me vomit.  

Just so anyone is interested, this is what Ted Cruz considers award-winning faith...

Quote:Chelsey Goldsborough, who regularly babysat for the Harrises, said Mary was kept isolated from Annie and from the rest of the family. She was often confined for hours to her room, where she was monitored by a video camera. The reason: The Harrises believed the girls were possessed by demons and could communicate telepathically, Goldsborough said. Harris and his wife once hired specialists to perform an "exorcism" on the two sisters while she waited outside the house with the boys, she said.
