So... I’m sitting here thinking about all the opposition I’ve come across from fellow Freepers who think Ted Cruz is somehow “magically” a Natural Born citizen even though he was born in another country to a non-U.S. citizen father.

So, I’ve got to ask, if one considers Ted Cruz an Article II, Section 1 “Natural Born” citizen, then, to paraphrase Hillary, what difference, at this point, does it make even if Obama WERE discovered to have born in Kenya?

After all, if—as numerous Freepers around here have been more than quick to jump down my throat and “set me straight” on—(if) they consider Cruz to be a Natural Born Citizen, then they certainly can’t have any problems with Obama being born in Kenya.

...Anywhoooo, I’m just venting a little. Not directing it at any one particular person. Just had to get it out there and off my chest.

That is all.

Over and out.

P.S. - Lovin’ your hard work and attention to detail, ButterDeZillion! Cheers!

Erratum: “discovered to have born in Kenya?” should be “discovered to have BEEN born in Kenya?”

It’s gettin’ late and I’m gettin’ tired.

Cheers!

Yes, the views are inconsistent. Cruz sounds like a great guy. I think we’re desperate for a leader. But the Constitution has to come first. Without the rule of law we will turn great guys like Cruz into corruptocrats.

At this point, for Obama, he has to get rid of the rule of law because he is guilty of quite a few felonies, and so are his pals. If America ever got back the rule of law, they would all be in trouble. I think they’re pretty much gunning for it - taking things so fast that America will reach the point of no return before the next election. But that speed may well be what does them in. The wolf may cast off his sheep’s clothing too soon...

About a week or so ago (no I don’t have the link or remember when it was or who asked the question) some reporter asked Cruz on tv if he was a NBC and Cruz smiled and said he was a US citizen.

The difference in Cruz' case is that his mother was old enough to confer citizenship by herself. Obama's mother was too young to meet the 5 years residence in the USA since age 14 requirement, because she was 18 when Obama was born. Therefore, if Obama were born outside the United States, only his father could confer citizenship on him.
