Ted, “don’t criticize what you don’t understand”, as the lyrics go.

Can you recommend a decent bio of Forrest? Sounds like it would be a fascinating and entertaining read.

I guess he’s GIVEN UP on trying to fool us into thinking that he’s actually with us.

Like most here, I supported him until Trump showed up, and holy crap, I had NO CLUE just who I was supporting - and I’ve voted for this guy in Texas. He certainly had me fooled.

Now that all of the problems of Texas have been taken care of, he has time to worry about Tennessee?

Not sure who’s ring your kissing here, but really - C’mon Ted.

By the way, since you apparently haven’t shaved since the Gillette razor commercials went tranny, there ARE other razors you can use without bowing to the lgbtq mafia.

ToughBlade that Brett Favre advertises for, Harry’s, and some others too.

Don’t cut yourself!

Worst president ever. FDT is the second worst, than Andrew Johnson.

“It’s true Forrest was a slave trader and Klansman, but he was also one of the most brilliant generals of the Civil War.”

Two of my Great-Grandfathers rode under him. 10th Tennessee Cavalry. Should I turn myself in to the SPLC?

It’s fascinating to me that the reactionary hatred of Ted Cruz is so deep that defending a Democrat who made it his business to kill and oppose Republicans is now defended.

NBF was a Democrat and hated Republicans.

Ted Cruz is one of our nation’s greatest conservatives.

I’m glad he is my senator and he is again correct on this matter.

There is a book which I foolishly loaned someone, and never saw it again. The org. Forrest started was taken over by haters and MADE INTO the KKK. Forrest accepted Christ, adopted a black child and even did some preaching of the gospel in his later years. I doubt the high KKK office business. He was out before it morphed into that.

Maybe he ought to begin a crusade against the Namesake of Fort Hood, TX, Gen John Bell Hood gasp- a Confederate general who betrayed the Union to join the Confederacy and was one of it’s ablest Division and Corps Commanders....

The fact that he was a daring courageous warrior respected by friend and foe alike who stood for certain principles that found him on the losing side in history has nothing to do with the facts....

I know he is disappointing. His only asset seems to be that he is NOT Beto.

Hey Lyin’ Ted, I’ll make a deal with you.

If you get KKK Grand Dragon Robert C Byrd’s name removed from all roads, bridges, buildings, cemeteries, parks, airports, and waterways in the state of WV, then I’ll listen to your ideas about General Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Ted Cruz is one of our nation’s greatest conservatives.

Hence the demise of the conservative movement.
