Ted Cruz goes after GQ 'Ragazine' for lying as Dems often do

The nice term for it is 'revisionist history,' but the more accurate term would be 'bald-face lying.' The culprit in this case is GQ Magazine, but when it comes to politics, they have lots of competition.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) went after the magazine on Thursday after they published a correction to a propaganda piece ironically titled "The Anti-Abortion Movement Was Always Built On Lies." The article labeled the late George Wallace, a flaming segregationist and former governor of Alabama as a Republican.

Wallace was a Democrat.

Mark Hemingway of Real Clear Investigations was the first one to spot the correction and Cruz responded to it saying that GQ's correction revealed "the lie at the heart of a pile of lies."

Cruz wrote: “The ‘correction’ that reveals the lie at the heart of a pile of lies. Yes, racist George Wallace was a Democrat. KKK founder Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Dem. The authors of Jim Crow were Dems. And Dems today seem not at all concerned about the millions of black children aborted.”

The corrected version of the article, which attempted to distance Wallace from his Democratic roots, contains the following (my italics):

The George Wallace, the longtime governor of Alabama, a Democrat who would later join the far-right American Independent Party, four-time presidential candidate, and outspoken segregationist who is often compared to Donald Trump, backed the legalization of abortion in the late 1960s because he claimed black women were “breeding children as a cash crop” and taking advantage of social welfare programs.

The only people who compare Wallace to President Trump are generally "never Trump" leftists. Where Wallace physically stood in front of white schools to keep black children from entering, Trump calls for an end to funding Planned Parenthood, the abortion mill responsible for killing more black children than any other form of violence.

Pretending that Wallace was not a Democrat is a lie.

In an article from The Washington Post they wrote said Wallace ran for president with the American Independent Party in 1968 and won 46 electoral votes. But in 1972, Wallace again ran for president in the Democratic primary, and ran for president again in 1976 before endorsing Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter. He died in 1998.

Wallace was a Democrat. The KKK was formed by Democrats.

In a follow-up tweet, Cruz targeted Planned Parenthood, noting that the organization was founded by avowed racist and eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who clearly described her thoughts  in a 1932 paper titled: My Way To Peace.

In 1939, Sanger, the heroine of the left, discussed in a letter to Clarence Gamble,
(cited here), the nature of her organization's outreach to the African-American community:

“The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

In her autobiography she proudly recounts her address to the women of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, N.J., in 1926.

And the left canonized her.

Sen. Cruz was aware of Sanger's history and tweeted:

“Also, Margaret Sanger—founder of Planned Parenthood, Dem’s hero & racist eugenicist—wrote ‘We should require mandatory sterilizations of those less desirable’ & she wrote ‘We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,.”

There is a plaque at Northeastern Illinois University that refers to Abraham Lincoln as a Democrat. HuffPo tried to defend the school by saying if Lincoln were alive today he'd be a Democrat, but they can't even predict an election, much less what Lincoln's political party would be today. [I also suspect they're wrong.]

Democrats would like to revise history or pretend the factual version of it is misleading.

Wallace was a Democrat and Sanger was an evil eugenicist.

So who are the real racists as a group?

Colin Kaepernick, GQ's Citizen of the Year

If your goal is to appeal to leftists and in the process, put yourself out of business, you need to follow the examples of GQ and Glamour magazines. But I'm only going to deal with the former rag, and discuss Glamour in a later post.

GQ magazine has named Colin Kaepernick, Citizen of the Year for 2017.

Kaepernick is a former duck-throwing quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. He is now known as the mediocre QB responsible for starting a national movement to protest the Star Spangled Banner by taking a knee, ostensibly to protest  police brutality, which has nothing to do with the National Anthem and everything to do with disrespecting the flag and our military who've defended it and the nation for which it stands. 


He also wore socks depicting cops as pigs.

Once Kaepernick got a bit of notoriety from his disrespectful display, other players joined the party and took a knee--one guy even did his stretching exercises during the playing of the anthem.

Roger Goodell, who's as useless as spectacles on testacles, refused to demand the player follow the NFL policy of standing during the playing of the anthem. In fact, now he wants a raise in salary to over $45 million.

Soon the disrespect spread like flies on a cow turd as even kids emulated their 'heroes.'  The pee wee league kids were doing it, and even a few cheerleaders dropped their pom poms in protest of something they knew not exactly what.

So GQ, the magazine that has been devolving for over half a century, has placed an unemployed football player who cannot elucidate the reason he takes a knee for the Star Spangled Banner--first it was to show support to the Black Lives Matter movement, a movement that is clearly anti-police, anti-establishment, anti-American.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," he told NFL Media in an exclusive interview in August 2016. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

Not to mention the bodies in the streets of Chicago, put there by gang bangers, almost entirely black, and in extremely high numbers. 

But if you take a stand, if you protest about that, and try doing something to actually help the communities deal with this problem, you might actually make a difference. Some people in the communities of Chicago, often those connected with churches, actually do go out and help their communities, but GQ doesn't care about them.

Not to mention the incredible number of black babies aborted every year by single mothers by Planned Parenthood. Why not protest that organization started by Margaret Sanger, a staunch birth control advocate, and eugenicist.

But GQ apparently doesn't care about saving black kids--that isn't how they see good citizenship.

It is about alleged racial inequality and police brutality, and dishonoring the flag, the anthem and our military is the method of doing it. A non sequitur when it comes to making sense of taking a knee. The magazine called Kaepernick a "powerful symbol of activism and resistance."

No. A powerful symbol of activism was Mother Theresa. Another is the first responders and organizations like the all volunteer Cajun Navy who helped rescue people from the ravages of Hurricane Harvey. GQ never even considered those folks.

A powerful symbol of resistance was Rev. Martin Luther King. (Note how the left refuses to call him "Reverend" but instead refers to his as "Doctor" King.)

A powerful symbol of resistance was when a plumber from Sutherland Springs, Texas grabbed a gun when he heard his church was under attack, ran barefoot toward the church and shot at the killer, which saved countless lives. GQ forgot about him.

But GQ seems to be doing whatever it can to sell paper, and all they're doing is selling hatred.
