Mostly importantly, what's with the ugly tie?

DON'T QUESTION PATRIOTIC CONSERVATISM!*  YOU COMMUNIST HEATHEN YOU!

Seriously though, I got pissed off at "Grass" until I scrolled down and saw "Roots".  Then I got more pissed off but for entirely different reasons.

*Patriotic Conservatism is, in my "humble" opinion, an oxymoron.

I'm just askin'....is the coloring book intended for people who would vote for him next election?

[Witchyjoshy]

I get your joke, right there

But literally speaking, more like the kids of the people who would vote for him next election.

It doesn't even look anything like Ted Cruz, and the artwork is pretty crap too.

well thank God they labeled "Grass"

I sure otherwise that would shave confused people.

It's actually part of "Grassroots", which is a term for "We want to go back to old times, and we want to make that sound like a good thing."

It's more a term for movements started by the common folk, as opposed to those started by the likes of politicians, big buisiness, and others in positions of power. The right wing likes to use the term because it makes their followers feel like they're the ones in control, rising up and taking the power back from the "liberal elites."

In reality, of course, the Tea Party in particular and neo conservatism in general was started by and is lead by the rich and powerful. That's why some people like to call right wing "grass roots" movements "astroturf."

Ted enjoys functioning at his own intellectual level.

I'm highly amused by the "Leaf of Diversity."  The Tea Party is about as diverse as an Abercrombie and Fitch catalogue.

Probably why it's a "Leaf of Diversity" and not "Leaves of Diversity".
