Mark Levin trashing The Don in favor of Cruz.
(Excerpt) Read more at marklevinshow.com ...
It gets pretty crazy during the primary. I have learned to stay away. Or limited posting at best. Sometimes I just can’t help myself, lol.
The times of honest, intelligent debate will return...I hope.
I really think that people forget that the political talk show hosts are really just entertainers. Live by the ratings, die by them as well.
Mark behaved oddly about the NBC issue when we were talking about Obama’s eligibility, so it’s not like his current reaction to the issue is surprising.
What is surprising, is the fact that a scholar of Levin’s depth would have any trouble understanding the great importance of restricting the office of president to only those with the purest degree of citizenship.
The citizenship of a person who is born on the soil of the country, to two citizen parents, can’t be any purer. It’s no more complicated than that.
It begs the question - if being born on foreign soil, to only one citizen parent is good enough to satisfy the Framers’ demands, then what of those whose citizenship is of greater purity?
Exactly what is the purpose of the NBC clause then? Why have it in the Constitution at all? Why didn’t the Framers make the eligibility requirement for President the same as those for Senators and House Reps, if all that’s required is to be able to lay some kind of claim on citizenship?
See where I’m going here?
Back to Levin — you’d think a man with his deep knowledge of our nation’s founding would understand the root simplicity and graceful logic of the Framers’ prescription for the office.
I love the guy, but his head’s on backwards where it comes to the NBC issue.
I agree with all you said, and have experienced it during every presidential primary, but this particular primary has brought out a level of ugly that surprises me.
I've never seen it this bad on FR - not during any primary. It's practically unbearable.
Preach it, flaglady!
It is practically unbearable. But I really think it stems from people being scared and wanting to find an answer.
You and I may not be on the same team at this point, I don’t know. But we should be able to discuss it rationally.
As insane as this will sound...anybody standing on the stage at last nights debate would be better than The Criminal or The Socialist. (O’Malley is a non-factor)
I cheer him on too, I’ll just never vote for the charlatan.

At one point during last night's debate, I turned to my wife and said that very thing. Heck, even the crew at the kiddie table, top what the Dems are offering.
Instead of all the infighting and bickering, our folks ought to be rejoicing in the fact that someone on our bench is going to be the next president.
What arguments by Levin are valid? He wouldn't discuss the issue nor would he allow discussion on the issue. A total blackout! And that is my point!
Please, enough with covering for this thin-skinned, loser Levin.
The reason for that is that Levin allows callers to broach issues, but once he makes a legal call on a legal question, there is no more discussion. He talked about his reasoning on the Obama suits multiple times in just the last couple weeks. He uses the Obama cases to prove his rationale on the current Cruz eligibility arguments. Which he says are obvious a waste of time and they are! You just don't want to hear it.
Wrong. Obama’s eligibility IS an issue. There has been zero legit documentation that he was born in the country, and lots of circumstantial evidence he was not.
Evidence Obama Might not have been born in the USA:
1. He has used only fraudulent social security numbers. The one he has used the most belonged to a man in the 1880s. Obama has used it since he was 16. Why would he need to use a fake one?
2. He is the only person in 1980 or whatever year who registered for the selective service and his form was stamped with a two digit year. Everyone else that year in the entire country had theirs stamped with a date that showed a four digit year.
3. After years of talk and joking about his long form birth certificate, he put one online. But it was found to have obvious photoshop layers on it, which would have been impossible in 1961. That alone makes that image not an actual photo of a legit birth certificate, but a forgery.
4. Obama traveled to Pockeestahn with his cuddly couch friend and stayed for months, maybe a year, even though his first American passport was issued much later, when he was a US Senator: the Senate conferred one on him for his official duties. Thus he had traveled to and from Indonesia as a child on some other passport (probably Indonesian) and also traveled AS AN ADULT on that trip to Pockeestahn with some other than American passport. If you give him a break as a small child, because he wasn’t in control, do realize that it had been about 10 years since his last overseas trip and he probably therefore had to RENEW a foreign passport AS AN ADULT. We have a President who, as an adult, signed some form of citizenship paper of some other country and traveled as a citizen of that country.
There are many more. I’ll stop here. But yes, his eligibility is in serious question. It is only protected by the media who will not go there.
Thanks for proving my point.
He talked about his reasoning on the Obama suits in just the last couple of weeks? The last couple of weeks?
Where was he eight years ago when the Kenyan was running? Hiding in his bunker? Hiding under his bed in his bunker?
Eight years ago he absolutely refused to discuss the issue and would not even allow it to be brought up on his show? This censorship provoked an awful lot of criticism of the thin-skinned Levin leading him to wipe his website and social media accounts of all criticism.
Now he comes out of his hole and attempts to explain his lack of action eight years ago only because of Cruz's possible problem with the NBC. He is now willing to discuss the issue because of Cruz but wouldn't discuss it with Obama. Why?
Enough already with you covering for the coward Levin.
Please, go away.
I’m not ever attempting to argue that.
That is not the point.
I’m just relating the fact to you that the court is not the place where you challenge a president or any eligibility issue for the most part. Especially a constitutional one.
The US congress has that responsibility and the courts will defer to them or refuse to grant standing.
He was telling anyone who asks, the truth of the matter that a suit without standing is a waste of the courts time and could cost the so called plaintiff a bundle.
Now, after all the suits have wrapped up, you can see that he was right.
Don’t either of you dare to assume that because I argue in favor of Levin on this, that I don’t know what Obama is.
I find that quite insulting.
The point is and I repeat again, that impeachment is the avenue to use to challenge a presidents eligibility or allege fraud or misdemeanor.
When the Congress refused to take it up, it was essentially over and done.
Another one bites the dust. Sad. And I am a registered in Conservative in NYS.

Say what?
He (Obama) wasn't President yet!!! How could the Congress impeach him if he wasn't a sitting President?
Mark's failures were in the critical time periods before the primaries, during the primaries, during the Democrat National Convention and finally during the campaign for the Presidency. It was during these critical time periods that Levin "hid under his bed."
Geez! You have reached a point of embarrassing yourself.
>> there were a fair number of children born to US servicemen and SVN women <<
Of course. But the original poster referred specifically to HANOI.
