My point was that you have elected to put your own interpretation on what the founding fathers said and meant, which puts you in the same category as revisionists of the constitution. If you can not supply an actual ruling or adjudication, then your opinion is worth what anyone else’s is. And you shouldn’t YELL, lest someone think you were insane. To express your opinion is OK, but when you make it personal and shout out because someone doesn’t agree with you, then you demonstrate the tendencies of whom you support. you are proving the point of the thread - the Free Republic used to be a place to discuss conservative issues logically and with respect. Now it has digressed to a forum that is used for people trying to shout out any supporters of candidates that they do not agree with. The effect that you wanted to have is just the opposite - I do not support any candidates at this time, but you make it difficult to support Trump, because your support is based on emotion, and not a logical argument. If you try to make an argument, please base it on a fact, not on ‘Trump said’.
You are right, I should have been more civil in my reply. It gets very emotional watching hundreds of mostly false articles posted against Trump lately with very vocal and vicious comments from freepers. I would still vote for Cruz if I had to, but the fact that his citizenship is not in line with the constitution makes it very hard.
