Ted Cruz goes for the throat!
He takes on the New York Times and their willful ignorance on April 19th - the very day, 240 years ago, that ordinary Americans took to their guns to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.
Is the Times aware of ANYTHING that happened in the American colonies between 1763 and 1775?? Or does history for them begin in 1932 with Franklin Roosevelt (with some study of slavery and the slaughter of the Indians of course, so they can criticize America)?

Sen Cruz's quote from Noah Webster - One of the shortest, but the most precise...:
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.

The New York Times has been an enemy of freedom, God, and all that is right ever since its inception. If Satan founded a newspaper, it would be the New York Times.

I think the NYT’s reaction to Mr. Cruz is strange, ridiculous, silly, and absurd. Mr. Cruz gets it. He obviously understands a heck of a lot more about our representative republic than the flunky at the NYT. Though as others here have pointed out, I’m pretty sure the NYT understands the true purpose of the 2nd Amendment, they just don’t like it and thus want to water it down or even eliminate it. Fascist dogs.

#1 the NYT is there to protect the LIE
#2 to the NYT, a palladium as referenced by Justice Joseph Storey (now a dormitory) was a cocaine infused night club/music venue where both the Ramon’s and Frank Zappa (hugh fan) recorded live albums in the 70s. (opened by the owners of studio 54, so it was a big f’n deal)
Theodore Cruz strikes back with facts, but it is a race to get ahead of the lies, and I’ll guarantee you no Times reader heard what Mr. Cruz had to say.

These NYT writers were educated in a system which became the precursor to Common Core. This is why we should go easy on them when they trap themselves with their own ignorance, or when a given editor blows a few billion brain cells simply by trying to think.
Cruz is able to be respectful and polite as he teaches them.
