Yes, B.W., the Democrats were once the party of the clan. George Wallace was a Democrat. The strongest opposition to integration came from the Democratic Party. These things are well-known, historical facts, not deep, dark secrets.
Another thing that's a historical fact is that after Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964 the political landscape completely chamged. Some segregationists, such as Strom Thurmond, moved to the Republican Party. Others, like former Klansman Robert Byrd, changed their tunes. It was the same for average citizens. Most of the white South bailed on the Democrats and started voting GOP, and lots of moderates joined the Democrats.
Long story short, Cruz is factually correct, but by pretending that that one fact tells the whole story he drifts back into Lyin' Ted territory.
Of course you already knew all of that, so I'm not sure where you're going with this thread...

BW was clearly posting this to poke more fun at Rick for believing anything that Lyin' Ted has to say as he (Rick) insisted that he (Teddy) was ordained by God to be the next POTUS. Poor Rick didn't know that Clinton actually was ordained, but that God didn't take into account the giant voter fraud of five million votes that gave it to Trump.

Cruz is basically telling his voters what they want to hear. I have never pegged Cruz as a true conservative, I think he just listened to Rush Limbaugh one day, heard this fact which has been known forever, and regurgitated it, nothing more.

Still wondering how God could've been so wrong...Jac3510 wrote:BW was clearly posting this to poke more fun at Rick for believing anything that Lyin' Ted has to say as he (Rick) insisted that he (Teddy) was ordained by God to be the next POTUS.

Because God is a Republican and watches Fox News of course. That or He was persuaded by the rest of the media that a racist serial killing dictator could never beat the True Conservative (tm).
