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

[otherone]

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.

spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[zactidwell]

When I hear the name Ted Cruz, this image immediately pops to mind. The puppet master/war criminal at work with his new pawn.......

I am so disappointed in Judge Napolitano. Beyond words.

"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."

Based on the quote you just provided, how did Napolitano lie?

Is Ted Cruz an Israel Firster?

Yes. Big time.

 

[otherone]

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.

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."

HOW is this different than "a chicken in every pot"?
A "Taft fan" believes in positive Rights?

 

[erowe1]

I believe Napolitano put the word "federal" in Cruz's mouth because he wanted to show Cruz as not being as constitutionally-strict as Rand Paul.

No. He put "federal" in Cruz's mouth because it was a speech announcing Cruz's run for a federal office.

Also, Cruz said, "every child in America," not "every child in Texas."

 

[erowe1]

Cruz said nothing of a federal right to education.

Yes he did, right there in the quote that you yourself provided in the OP.

I'd say you have a right to an education and a right to pursue an education. Can somebody take your education from you? You do NOT have a right to be educated.

Sure. But you're talking about something different than what Cruz was. Cruz is talking about tax payer funded schooling.

Well, aren't you quite the asshole.

 

[TaftFan]

No. He put "federal" in Cruz's mouth because it was a speech announcing Cruz's run for a federal office.

Also, Cruz said, "every child in America," not "every child in Texas."

I support drug legalization throughout America. Does that mean I support the federal government overriding state decisions? No. I support Voter ID throughout America, does that mean I think it is a federal issue? No.

Cruz, in fact, repudiated a federal role in education in his same speech!

This is such a minor issue. It seems to me to be a semantic issue at best, and a misunderstanding on Napolitano's part at worst. Cruz is a neocon, who's good on immigration and little else. I'd vote for him over Hillary, but he's still pretty lousy.

 

[acptulsa]

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).

Surely that's not it.

Oh, come on. There are still a few million registered Republicans you have not yet mortally offended for us. No point in leaving your job half done. There may never be a thread to do it in that more of them will see than this one.

Grow some thicker skin if you are offended at everything you read. It's my opinion. Take it or leave it.

I agree that words matter and using the words "right" to an education made my ears perk up... but I don't believe that's what Cruz was advocating. I don't agree it should be framed that way and makes the Judge look nit-picky.

I'm sorry, but Cruz f-ed up in this vid. He basically said if you criticize Israel, you're full of hate and he walked off stage. Sorry but sucking Netanyahu's cock is not in the defense of liberty. I care about what happens in the US... The Israeli government has as much blood on its hands as any tyrannical government. History is replete with examples of Israel slaughtering the innocent as much as muslim countries doing the same. Israel has one interest... and it aint the USA... Israel would nuke the US if it were in its interest.

They can take care of themselves and Cruz can become a preacher if that's what he wants. I won't support him for POTUS with his narrow view of the world.

He wasn't talking about legalizing education. And he didn't repudiate a federal role in education. He repudiated one specific federal role and promoted another in its place.

I know this is a completely foreign concept to some, but I was not actually thinking of myself.
