A real gem of person and video. Can’t believe I just watched something so awesome
Well I’ll be happy if either Cruz or Trump ends up being the nominee. But growing up and living all my life near the Canadian border... I have never met anyone who didn’t know that they were a dual citizen because one of their parents were Canadian or they were born in Canada. Even little kids in grade school knew. Ted a constitutional lawyer trying to claim that he didn’t know is just plain unbelievable. Constitutionally speaking, the question as to whether this affects his eligibility is a question that cannot be definitively answered unless a court decides one way or the other. But if he is the nominee the media and the Democrats will be all over it.
I agree with her.
These people that claim to be about “liberty” have turned into nothing but authoritarian punks that think they can harass and pressure people into voting for Cruz, when apparently he cant seal the deal on his own.
It is the epitome of desperation and snobbery.
We are not sheep to be yanked around by op/ed writers, and the more they yank the harder we dig in.
I said Trump needs to get her on the platform with Diamond and Silk...and welcome to FR!
I wondered how you knew the terms you used—hose heads,and the bit about the 49th parallel. I grew up in FL, and believe me, I heard none of that.
My personal preference would be Cruz for AG. He has the training, temperament, knowledge and drive for it. Time will tell.
Btw, does anyone know the details of how Cruz suddenly discovered his Canadian citizenship? How was it that he went his whole life (supposedly) not knowing, and only stumbled upon the truth in ‘14?
I am not voting for anyone who I would not buy a used car from.
The ‘sheep’ are waking up and are ANGRY!
Rocking that man-bun today?
I thought the Republican Party were going the way of the WHIGS. And I found that scary. But maybe only the elitist “Conservative” wing of the GOP is the awkward Dodo on the path of extinction. The GOP may survive even in this time of decline if it rises from its own defeatist ashes the way Reagan raised himself up against the geriatric lethargy of the Rockefeller Republicans of the 60s and 70s.
Trump supporters need to get him up to speed on the following.
One of the very few issues that citizens should be raising their voices to the federal government about is the US Mail Service (1.8.7). In other words, most other federal government domestic services are actually based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers and associated state revenues which corrupt Congress has been stealing from the states in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes.
Previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had put it this way.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” - United States v. Butler, 1936.
The Founding States had intended for citizens to work with local and state lawmakers, not the federal government, to establish ”government” services where most domestic issues are concerned.
Remember in November !
So if patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work strictly within its Section 8-limited powers to support the president.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
I would think that someone here could give us the official version of how it was that Senator Cruz suddenly realized he ought to renounce his Canadian citizenship. It might have been a revelation that came about after media outlets found documents that seemed to show that both his parents were supposedly eligible to vote in Canadian elections. This is something that is normally reserved for legal citizens.
Most people I have known do not like to give it up dual citizenship because there can be both perceived and real benefits. I registered for the draft while I was attending Western Washington University in Bellingham WA... about 15 miles from the border. One of my buddies told me his mother was originally from Canada so if he got drafted he was just going to go to Canada since he was a dual citizen. It seemed a little chicken s**t to me at the time.
"My best friend is a lesbian." - So that's Conservatism?
Agree. I thought she was a tard and I’m a Trump guy at the moment.
Thanks for your additional input. I can imagine advantages to being a dual citizen. Winning a US presidential election wouldn’t be one of them.
I did a search and read the official version online. As the story goes, the Dallas Morning News looked into it, and published a story in August, 2013, in which it was stated that Cruz had Canadian citizenship. Why that led to a renunciation in ‘14 wasn’t stated. (You’d think he’d have cleared it up immediately.) But fwiw, that’s their story and they’re sticking to it.
I’ll bet she’s pissed. Obviously, she’s worked for a living and overcome some major hardships. Now she is well off and successful, most likely through hard work. Then she sees the Fox crowd, noses in the air, fresh from the makeup artist, schmoozing all day as they sashay around the office until it’s time to read the TelePromptR. Then they’re telling her and us what’s what. Yeah... annoying.
And one side just brought in reinforcements from local Junior Achievement club.
“This lady needs her own show!”
Actually, I think she said she’ll have a show on a new veterans network or something. She’ll be their answer to Jeanine Pirro.
Thanks for posting this from a Freeper friend!
Sending out a Florida Freeper ping here!
GO TRUMP!
I thought Scott Adams had the funniest characterization of the NR anti-Trump rant:
National Review's cover story, in which the big question comes down to whether Trump is a true conservative or not, is your tell for capitulation on the right. The left is still in the fight, but the right just capitulated to Trump.
In the 2D world, it might seem that National Review's organized resistance of "thought leaders" opposed to Trump is a big deal. But that incorrectly assumes "thought" was ever important.
In the 3D world of persuasion, National Review's move is nothing but throwing the gun at the monster because the clip is empty.
If you want to read all of Adams' analyses of Trump's irresistible trek to a landslide victory in the general election (Adams' prediction last August!), check him out. He's got the most insightful commentary on Trump I've ever read yet.
