" Alberta"

Make Alberta a State and give Canada MA, RI and VT in return.

Let’s just solve this problem right now and annex Alberta. What’s Canada going to do about it?

At this point and the fact that Obama’s pedigree was so obviously hidden, overlooked, faked, and ignored, I don’t give a flying flip about that point, IF it were for a Cruz-like opponent to rabid liberalism.

As long as the liberal/Democrat opponent is for real traditional values of honesty, hard work, adherence to existing laws (immigration) and fitting punishment and non reward for infractions thereof. I’m now just ‘lawless’ enough now to say “frack it”....they do it - we do it!

It’s when this Cruz-like opponent starts to go God complex like Rubio is where I have a big, big, big problem. For me there is no equivocation, no rationalizing, no quarter for things like Amnesty and illegals, pandering to hispanics for their votes in non-traditional American ways, any, repeat ANY more infringements on the Second Amendment whatsoever, and allowing this population to become further infested with leeching, entitlement whining losers, and those “immigrants” legal or otherwise who are only here to rape our bounty.

Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal, is a close friend — one of many donors with Cruz ties.

This is kind of a surprise. Thiel is a very prominent gay libertarian - so he obviously sees in Cruz a man willing to defend liberty and economic freedom above all else.

Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where his parents, Eleanor Darragh and Rafael Cruz, were working in the oil business.[8][9] His father was a Cuban immigrant to the United States during the Cuban Revolution.[10] His mother was born and reared in Delaware, in a family of Irish and Italian descent.[9][11] Cruz’s family returned to the U.S. when he was four years old./

His mother is from Delaware, his father is a cuban immigrant.

How about we have a Conservative primary? ....so that our winner goes on to fight Jeb Bush or whoever in the Republican primary?

If we have half a dozen conservatives with one Rockefeller/Bush Republican, they will take it again.

It won’t matter. There won’t be another presidential election.

Even Hugo Chavez had to stage elections. Our vote hasn't affected the elite's desired result for a long time, because they have gotten very good at pre-arranging multiple compliant statists to choose from - but they still feel compelled to give us our "democracy theater."

OK, let the sparks fly on the "NATURAL BORN CITIZEN" clause once again.

It doesn't really matter since he's delusional if he thinks he has a chance. What the Democrats would do to him in the general election is nothing compared to what the Republcians would do to him in the primary.

Well then you’d probably love Jeb Bush. Another loser RINO.

RE: His mother is from Delaware, his father is a cuban immigrant.

So what does the Constitution say regarding a scenario like this?

Born of an American mother and a LEGAL immigrant father overseas??

Washington, was born in Sulgrave, England in 1732, and was a robust lad of 10 when he immigrated to the Americas.

John McCain was born in Panama.

Should be a minor issue unless the people on our side make a bigger deal of it that the opposition does. Which we probably will.

Washington was born in Virginia. And the Constitution specifically grandfathers in those born before the ratification of the Constitution.

I have been a rabid birther forever but if they let Rubio run they have to let Cruz run. At this point in the destruction of America I am only concerned about getting the right person in the Whitehouse in 2016. So far only Cruz has been on the right side of every issue.

Nobody is going to ride in on a white horse and save us. Ted is a good guy but its a long shot that someone conservative will make it all the way to the end. This will only get worse, the only way we can return to a smaller govt. and freer country is for more good people to truly sacrifice and take risks.

The government is run by an entrenched mob now and elections are rigged. They have figured out the formula to push the liberal candidates over the finish line almost every time.

We need more sheriffs, military, and police openly ready and willing to uphold their oath to the constitution. Citizen arrests of the federal representatives that are in obvious violation of the constitution I think would be a good start
