NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton exquisitely demolishes Cruz http://m.nydailynews.com/new-york/ted-cruz-absolutely-war-terror-article-1.2578821
"In New York City, we protect all communities from crime and terrorism — yes, Muslim communities too — because like us, they are Americans who own businesses, work hard, pay taxes and dream of a better life for their children. Over 900 of them work in my police department as police officers, many of them in counterterrorism and intelligence. Many of them have served in the military and fought for their country. We police our city not by campaign slogans or inflammatory rhetoric, but by an old piece of parchment called the U.S. Constitution and another called the Bill of Rights. Ted Cruz and others seem to be willing to sideline these principles because what they stand for shifts with the tide of the campaign and the shrillness of the name-calling. But as it has been said, when you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. Sen. Cruz needs to do some homework before he speaks again. Meanwhile, in New York, we will continue keeping the city safe while policing constitutionally, respectfully and effectively."
Salem witch trials, slavery, retro-active reclassification of blacks and their descendants as permanent slaves, native genocide, almost the War of 1812, Jim Crow, lack of inheritance rights, voting rights, marital rape protection or rape or spousal abuse prosecution of any kind for female victims, early 20th century mafia, Dust Bowl, world war one, refusing to ratify League of Nations, Smoot-Hawley Tariff act, Pearl Harbor, caucasian drug use to the extent that it incentivized late 20th century black and hispanic drug gangs.
But you forgot Obama. he is somewhere between Dust Bowl and World War I, I think. Or that's what my new Texas HS history book says.
