Judge Napolitano flat-out lies about Ted Cruz on Fox News

[TaftFan]

I disagree. Cruz is a Roman Catholic and as a matter of theology he believes that he must fight for "the common good" and that some property is common. Read my thread called "The Roman Catholic Socialist Agenda" to find out more.

Judge Napolitano is ALSO a Roman Catholic. That has nothing to do with it.

Catholicism does have a socialist tradition, but there are very right wing and libertarian Catholics out there.

I think if you pinned him down on it, he would not say that.

He was just using general language to emphasize that the government is messing up education and that the less involvement, the better.

Perhaps, but then he should choose his language more carefully... and his background. :o

The statement in isolation was vague, so it was open to interpretation. The term "right" sets off alarm bells for some though.

So it starts a conversation where more questions and details are warranted, especially at the Federal level, as Cruz is a US Senator seeking to be POTUS. Cruz said he want to "repeal every word of Common Core". That's a start. Does he want to repeal every word of no child left behind? Does he want to completely eliminate the Federal Department of Education? Does he want to eliminate all regulations, requirements, benefits and subsidies related to education from Federal Code?

No, Ted Cruz is a Southern Baptist. Judge Nap is a Catholic.

Yeah, he disagrees with his church.

The Catholic Catechism calls for a state that promotes the common good, and a one world government.

 

[specsaregood]

What? There is a RIGHT to education? That is completely tyrannical.

How is a right to an education any different than a right to bear arms or right to freedom of speech or any other right? Saying one has a right doesn't mean others are required to provide it to you.

God Bless Judge Napolitano for speaking the truth!

 

[acptulsa]

No, Ted Cruz is a Southern Baptist. Judge Nap is a Catholic.

Try again.

But I'm pretty sure it will go in one ear and out the other no matter how often you say it.

He has been campaigning from the beginning to eliminate federal involvement in education, including repealing the department of education.

I will support Rand. But I won't go along with dishonest attacks, of which I have seen far too many coming from Paul supporters on a whole litany of areas.

Not surprised you would see a demonstrated falsehood as the truth. After all, your worldview depends on "researching" falsehoods and assuming them to be true.

Cruz said nothing of a federal right to education.

 

[TaftFan]

This is also a really good point and an excellent way of phrasing it. In the context of Cruz bashing federal overreach, this makes complete sense.

 

[acptulsa]

Neither will we. And considering Cruz had been talking a out imagining a federal government that... for five minutes straight, I think not giving Judge Nap the benefit of reasonable doubt constitutes a dishonest attack. Even if he is wrong.

And I did say 'if'.

Not surprised you would see a demonstrated falsehood as the truth. After all, your worldview depends on "researching" falsehoods and assuming them to be true.

I don't suppose you'd like to prove this unwarranted attack is an honest attack...?

 

[William Tell]

One could look at it that way. But when you hear "right to healthcare" for example, do you think of a free market?

No, Ted Cruz is a Southern Baptist. Judge Nap is a Catholic.

The Texas senator, 43, is part Cuban, part Italian and part Irish. He comes from a Roman Catholic family but was converted by his parents to Southern Baptism at a young age.

[William Tell]

Well, I do; but its fair enough to say that most people think of rights as shit they are entitled to get from the mother tit for free.

To me at least, its all about the difference between a right to and a right to pursue. You have a right to keep and bear arms. You do not have a right to arms. You have a right to pursue education and healthcare. But you really have a right to pursue anything good and decent. Its a shame we need to specify more and more of them.

 

[Sola_Fide]

No, Ted Cruz is a Southern Baptist. Judge Nap is a Catholic.

Oh, he's a Southern Baptist now? That's even worse. Southern Baptists are some of the worst statists in America (and the worst ion theology as well).

 

[Stratovarious]

I am so disappointed in Judge Napolitano. Beyond words.

From Fox News: http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/03/23/judge-napolitanos-constitutional-disagreements-ted-cruz

"Napolitano also said his "heart sank" when he heard Cruz talk about a "federal right to education"

Naturally, I had to find out the truth. I watched the speech. Here is what Ted Cruz said in his speech, word for word:

"Instead of a federal government which seeks to dictate curriculum through Common Core. Imagine repealing every word of Common Core. Imagine embracing school choice as the civil rights issue of the next generation. That every single child, regardless of race, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of wealth or zip code, every child in America has a right to a quality education."

This is an extremely ambiguous statement from Cruz, I love tons of things I've heard from Napalitano, not sure how he took the statement was
quite LOADED.
Common Core out , good , it should be up to states, does Cruz go on somewhere about his actual Plan ?
The Federal Gov has overstepped in every issue, they need to have nothing to do with education.

Is Ted Cruz an Israel Firster?
