Ted Cruz has always had a master plan. Now it could win him the White House.

At the moment of his birth, Ted Cruz, the son of an adult US citizen, was himself a US citizen.

That is the nature of natural born citizenship.

Just Plain Sub Brilliant?

Obama was born in Kenya to an under-age mother, who was incapable of conferring citizenship on her son.

>> “You would imagine that conservatives would be thrilled to hear that a solid conservative would be advancing in this race.” <<

A conservative definitely would be.

All of the conservatives here are solidly behind Cruz, and that is a large majority of FReepers, but many here that call themselves conservative haven’t a clue what foundational principles make them such.

“showy obstructionism” = Democrats don’t like it when he doesn’t roll over and vote for their crap.

“basic logic problems” and “just doesn’t make sense”. How about a concrete example. Your magazine article suffers from basic logic problems and just doesn’t make sense.

“the key to leadership is essentially getting results by moving agendas ahead”. I couldn’t disagree more. This is a Dem concept. They can take their agendas and shove them. Their homosexual agenda. Their anti-American immigrant agenda. Their big brother government control of your life agenda. The key to leadership is honesty and integrity and wisdom. An intelligent, honest leader is one who can take us where we need to go and where we will ultimately benefit. It might be difficult, like charging up a hill into enemy territory, but the goals should be worth the sacrifices. What a leader is not: Someone who advances his personal agenda in order to line his pockets and indulge his sexual perversions (Clinton, Clinton, 0vomit, and too many other Democrats to count. And yes, some Republicans, too.)

I’ve been a campaign contributor since early last Spring. I maxed out in the Summer and I’m now double maxed.

Early money is like yeast!

Many of us knew long ago who the player was, in spite of the MSM and Comrade Juan McNuts.

“...Cruz is the exact same position that Obama was in in 2008, except Obama provided “proof” he was born in the USA and Cruz can not...”

What do you mean Cruz “can not”? Cruz has readily affirmed his birth as a US citizen born abroad. He has no reason to hide it. Ted Cruz’s mother was an adult US citizen when Ted was born and it was her status as a US citizen, above the age of majority, that bestowed Ted’s US citizenship AT HIS BIRTH. He had no need to be “naturalized”.

The first Congress of the United States passed the Naturalization Act of 1790, A MERE THREE YEARS AFTER THE CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN, which stated that children born abroad to U.S. citizens were themselves “NATURAL BORN CITIZENS”. Unless you can find another, I believe it is the only US statute ever to use the term “Natural Born Citizen”. This statute was passed by a congress that included members who were also authors of the Constitution. I don’t know how to make it any clearer than that. I’ll take the founding fathers at their word. You can do what you wish. Good luck with it!
