Ted Cruz reminds AOC

@anythingoes477 Sometimes they use fact finding sources that get their info from information that is put out there by leftist. Or by people that don't fully tell both sides. they cherry pick. I do this operation like both sides do.

@specman What a fucking joke that is. Here is Truth In Broadcasting report on that BS website and what they push at you to beiieve as "truth".

History

Founded in 2011, The Federalist Papers Project is far-right news and opinion website. According to their about page, the mission of the Federalist Papers Project “is to get people the power that knowledge gives to motivate them to push back at the erosion of our liberties and restore the constitutionally limited small government.” The founder and director of FPP are Steve Straub.

Funded by / Ownership

The website is owned by Integrated Marketing Group, which Steve Straub owns. The Federalist Papers Project generates revenue through online advertising.

Analysis / Bias

In review, The Federalist Papers Project offers two types of content. First, they republish content from the right-leaning and factually mixed Daily Caller, and the other is original opinion pieces that utilize strongly loaded language in favor of the right. Here are some examples: This Is The List of Every Current National Emergency And It Is A Nightmare For Dems and Jim Acosta Insults Angel Moms Then Gets Owned By One. In both of these examples, there is zero sourcing of any kind to support their claims.

Generally, every story on the Federalist Papers Project favors the right and denigrates the left. The FPP also promotes right-wing conspiracies, such as the Clinton’s being responsible for numerous deaths and promoting deep state conspiracies.

@anythingoes477 I'm not sure what comment you are responding too.
In the article above Cruz gave examples of the democrat's racist actions.

@specman Odd that Cruz would be the authority on Democrat racism after he was the one that objected to Brown being picked as an appointee to the SCOTUS. He called her an "offensive pick to Republicans..............being a woman and black".

@specman If you're still not sure see if you can find ANY quotes of Cruz's about the dangers black people.......try Googling Cruz comments on teaching Critical Race Theory...............which of course doesn't even exist in schools. But he's HATES the idea of that............because it might teach high schoolers that blacks had SOME part in American history......including why we even fought the Civil War. But of course that isn't racist...........excluding blacks from history books, huh?

@anythingoes477 crt is racist to white people. The civil war was actually fought over politics not slavery but under the guise of slavery

@specman Wow......................so just guessing............your fav color of Kool-Aide is red. Right?

I have a clue for you..........racism is racism. It don't matter if it's said to or about whites......reds........blacks........or greens........racism is racism. And you flat ass flunked History Class. You're doing great on slanted, fake news, right wing semantics...........but history? Not so much.

@anythingoes477 no you are brought up thinking slavery was why they fought. They don’t teach you the political reasoning. I agree racism is racism. Today leftist are calling racism at everything that doesn’t fit their agenda. So they fight the problem under the guise of racism because they know everyone hates racism. It’s very similar to them fighting for their real agenda under the guise of slavery

@specman The Civil War was fought over slavery. That's been true for over 150 years. You really need some remedial history classes. People are brought up believing that because it is a fact. Slavery is even specifically written into the Confederate Constitution. Please read it for your own education.

@windinhishair Read this. There were other things that the civil war was fought. You really out to read your history. Also you need to stop belittling people. It's very unbecoming!

@windinhishair also read this

https://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/feature/causes-of-the-civil-war/

@specman Both of these links prove my point and discuss the economics of slavery and other related issues, including states rights. Even the states rights discussion relates to slavery as in the right to own slaves. Stop pretending that it was something unrelated to slavery. It wasn't.

@windinhishair You're patient...I'll give you that. ;-) You keep thinking he's gonna read something you send him and one day facts and actuality will actually beat out delusion and lies and conspiracy theories that make him who he is.

@anythingoes477 I only don't read things from D**Ks like you!

@windinhishair It was fought for more than just to free slaves.

@specman Yeah..I know. I TRIED to do what windinhishair does.............like give you actual facts. But you.........like all trump culters................hate facts. You just like to keep repeating the same conspiracy theories and lies and things that you find on the sites that give you the food you like............whatever sound good to you and screw facts.

Read windinhishairs responses to you. Same exact thing. He tells you the truth.......facts......and as soon as he does you go right back to whatever brainwashed mantra you are told on your Q sites and trump groupie sites and ignore all he says that is factual. Then you repeat your gibberish as if you never heard a word said to you.

And you REALLY hate it when people like me tell you how brain dead that is of you.

@windinhishair Their is two thoughts still debated. I found this.

I do read your comments. sometimes i might just scan over it. too much in a hurry to answer. I'm working on that though.


https://billofrightsinstitute.org/activities/was-the-civil-war-fought-over-slavery

@specman Both people who are debating see slavery and its impact on southern society and economics as the primary cause of the Civil War. Southern society was racist and based on white supremacy, which has survived intact in many up to the present day, and is entrenched in the Republican Party.

@specman Yes, political reasons that revolved around slavery, the society that slavery enabled and supported, and states rights to continue to have slavery as an institution. We shouldn't pretend the Civil War was not about slavery.

@windinhishair One of the reasons were to end slavery but there were other things at play.

@windinhishair More evidence that the civil war was not caused by slavery alone. Even if slavery ended peacefully there still would be a chance that the war would have been fought anyway.


https://intellectualtakeout.org/2017/02/5-causes-of-the-civil-war-besides-slavery/

@specman Did you even read this? All five of the author's "additional causes" of the Civil War dealt directly or indirectly with slavery. Item 1 deals with the single crop slave economy of the South. Item 2 deals with states entering the Union as slave states or free states and the balance between them. Item 3 deals with a breakdown in decorum over slavery. Item 4 deals with a fundamental difference of opinion on whether slavery was constitutional or not. Item 5 deals with southern opposition to the anti-slavery movement in the north. To make the claim that these things prove slavery wasn't the cause of the Civil War is wrong and just plain dumb, since each one was a consequence of slavery that existed in the South.

@windinhishair This better explains what I mean by what the causes were it wasn't fought to free the slaves . My point being it was fought for other reasons besides the blacks freedom. There was more to it than just fighting to free the slaves cause their just nice people that came to the conclusion that slavery was bad. What they found was things that had slavery making it bad for the economy etc.

This link might explain it better. The other links explained it as well. This might explain it better.


https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/why-the-civil-war-wasnt-about-slavery/

@specman Freeing blacks from slavery was a large part of it, but there were other factors that were also part of slavery, since the whole southern economy and lifestyle was based on slavery and white supremacy. That's why you still see racism and white supremacy in the Republican Party today, particularly in the South, as a remnant of this lifestyle. The KKK and its close ties to the Republican Party today reminds us of this as well.

Slavery wasn't bad for the economy. The economy of the South was based on cotton and was the direct result of slave labor. Without it, southerners couldn't continue their way of life.

A majority of Americans knew then, and know now, that ending slavery wasn't done because "they were just nice people." It was done because it was the moral and ethical thing to do. Quakers in Pennsylvania took a hard stand on slavery as early as the 1740s, but it took more than 100 more years before it was ended.
