We have a right to believe in the US constitution, including Article I, section II, clause 5; and a lot of us still do, so call us “birthers” if you will. For me, it is not perjorative.
Indeed, if we “birthers” can save our Republic, we will make sure that never again will there be allowed a presidential candidate who does not meet this standard, along with the rest of the constitution that is presently being ignored.
You will never ever ever ever convince us that Ted Cruz will uphold the constitution, when the very fact he is running for president proves the constitution means nothing to him.
But you should understand that not agreeing with you makes us evil or love the Constitution less than you do.
In his time as Solicitor General for Texas, Cruz has done more actual work upholding the Consitution than you ever will posting on this website.
Amen.
If you reasonably so believe, a few questions:
1. Did South Carolina and ten other states have therefore the right to secede from the Union and form the Confederacy? Is there a supersecret clause of the Constitution delegating to the central government some authority to cause the deaths of 650,000+ young Americans on both sides and untold property damage? If not, should the eleven states that seceded regain their sovereignty and the Union pay damages to those harmed?
2. Is Social Security authorized as a power of the federales? Medicare? Medicaid? Obozocare? HUD, Department of Labor, Department of Commerce, EPA, OSHA, the Energy Department, the "Education" Department, the Veterans' Department, federal subsidies for abortion, federal actions to stamp out any effort by local skewel boards to allow prayer in classrooms, at football games at graduations, most functions of the Injustice Department, Envirowhackoism, the national mohair board, the national tea-tasting board, federalized speed limits, the "war on drugs," fast and furious, the BATF, and about a hundred thousand other useless programs and abominations? If not what are you personally prepared to do to vindicate that constitutional amendment? If not, you know what happens when you eat regular.
For Cruz, that will always be an uphill battle.
Through all the arguments on the topic, all the evidence, all the jousting between sides, the inexorable truth is the strictest interpretation of the founders NBC meaning can’t be wrong. Holding this belief brings no harm to the nation and gives no leverage to those that seek to harm it.
