I’m not into idolatry either. I think he is genuinely sincere, otherwise, I would not be supporting him.

[XenaLee]

You’re friggin’ nuts. Don’t ping me again. I have better things to do than read crap from a nutjob like you.

Here's a suggestion for you, then. Don't start up conversations in order to insult and attack those you disagree with.... and you won't get your ass handed to you for showing the usual name-calling, insults and projection idiocy. Or is that too simple a solution?

[skeeter]

I imagine that would take a leap of faith. Because aside from a few common rhetorical themes there’s very little in his past that would indicate that he will do as president what he’s promising to do. IMO

[Robert DeLong]

You can imagine whatever you desire. I don’t rely on your approval.

“Think about it, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are now the enemy, and Sundance and Camile Paglia on Salon are righteous icons. What the hell is happening here?”

Excellent point. Dissent will not be tolerated by some. Fine if that makes them feel more secure, though it is like the left to try to scream loudly enough to shut down debate. But no reason to be nasty about it as well.

[skeeter]

I don’t rely on your approval.

This kind of unnecessary aversion is typical from you Trump folks. Its as if your icon has set you free to be as obnoxious as he is.

[Robert DeLong]

Wow, you sure are touchy. I do not need your approval is just a statement of fact that somehow in your mind is an obnoxious statement. Get over yourself. I am perfectly capable of thinking for myself without someone telling me I am making a leap in faith.

There is well documented proof of Donald's love of this country that has been so good to him. Pure and simple for my belief he is sincere.

[RaceBannon]

you mean like ben carson?
Oh, wait, thats the other guy...

natural born citizen needs no clarification by Immigration law or any other clarification. It merely clarifies him as a citizen.

It clarified him as a US citizen BY BIRTH. Read carefully and you will find no assertion that any such clarification was 'needed'. But, considering all the crap people seem to believe about natural born citizenship, a clarification was certainly useful.

[Robert DeLong]

The fact that Congress had to make a ruling on a citizen born with certain circumstances clarifies they are a citizen, period. A natural born citizen needs no such clarification. That is why they specifically made the reference to a natural born citizenship as a special requirement. With a natural born citizen there is no question as to their citizenship at all.

With your loose interpretation an anchor baby is a natural born citizen. That is not the case either. They are citizens by virtue of the manipulation of the 14th Amendment to bring Jus Soli to be interpreted as the law, though that was certainly not the intent of the 14th Amendment.

[John Valentine]

A natural born citizen needs no such clarification. That is why they specifically made the reference to a natural born citizenship as a special requirement. With a natural born citizen there is no question as to their citizenship at all.

Apparently there was such a need, for here you are questioning Ted Cruz's natural born citizenship.

With your loose interpretation an anchor baby is a natural born citizen.

Now you are just making things up. That is NOT my position, in fact it is the opposite of my position. But it happens to be the position adopted by a series of very bad court decisions that need action to correct.

[John Valentine]

Further to my response, I only direct you to Emmerich Vattel: "I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”

[Robert DeLong]

Ted’s father was a Canadian citizen. His mother was on the Canadian voter rolls. This is not a natural born citizen.

[John Valentine]

You have your facts wrong. Once you get your facts right, you can start working on your reasoning.

[Robert DeLong]

Well one thing is for certain, one of us have their facts wrong, but it isn’t me.

Cruz supports Black Lives Matter - what a cuck！

[Mad Dawgg]

Ted Cruz used a sleazy personalized Shaming Mailers in Iowa TRUE!
