now that you’ve had your monumentally irrational rant, let’s take a look at the realities of what you had to say.
“This country has a government whose leaders are basically bought by foreign governments.”
Only some of the government leaders are bought and paid for by foreign governments and only to some degree and in some matters enriching the offenders in power and/or money. The problem existed long before the United States, with one colonial governor splitting the proceeds of the pirate booty with Blackbeard the Pirate. It is only possible because persons like yourself keep putting these crooks into office, like the support for pretenders and liars like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
“It has repeatedly sent its military all over the globe on missions that have no relevance to our national interests,”
The primary purpose of the U.S. armed forces is to deter and, when necessary, combat hostile foreign military forces, preferably outside our borders; so your indiscriminate accusation is irrational and completely contrary to Constitutional law.
“and to enforce mandates established by the United Nations — an international body that has no standing in U.S. law.”
That is another blatantly false statement. The Constitution expressly grants the President and the Congress the authority to engage in such an international organization. However, the leaders, such as Ted Cruz, you choose to elect are responsible for overextending this delegated authority in ways which are unconstitutional.
” We now have U.S. Supreme Court justices citing foreign law in their court decisions.”
That has to be one of the most ignorant and silly comments yet. All of U.S. law is based upon foreign law precedents that are properly cited in U.S. court decisions.
“All of this has taken place under the leadership of “natural born citizens.”
Wrong again! It took place under the leadership of foreign citizens pretending to be lawful U.S. citizens, such as Chester Arthur and Barack Hussein Obama, not to mention who knows how many Senators, Congressmen, Governors, and others who you have helped to get elected as you are no with Senator Ted Cruz.
“So I’d say this provision of the U.S. Constitution has done absolutely nothing to protect the citizens of this country from foreign influence.”
Which is yet another false statement and extreme hyperbole.
It is only possible because persons like yourself keep putting these crooks into office, like the support for pretenders and liars like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
However, the leaders, such as Ted Cruz, you choose to elect are responsible for overextending this delegated authority in ways which are unconstitutional.

You have no idea who I've helped elect and who I've voted for, which means you have no basis for these stupid, inane statements here on FreeRepublic.
Now that you've had your monumentally irrational rant, let's take a look at the realities of what you had to say:
Only some of the government leaders are bought and paid for by foreign governments and only to some degree and in some matters enriching the offenders in power and/or money.
Oh, I see ... so that must mean it's OK.
The primary purpose of the U.S. armed forces is to deter and, when necessary, combat hostile foreign military forces, preferably outside our borders; so your indiscriminate accusation is irrational and completely contrary to Constitutional law.
The Constitution clearly spells out a process through which the U.S. military is to deter and combat foreign military forces. The U.S. government has spent several trillion dollars on military campaigns all over the globe since World War II -- none of them involving a formal declaration of war as required by the U.S. Constitution.
How many military facilities did the U.S. have in foreign countries when the Constitution was ratified?
That is another blatantly false statement. The Constitution expressly grants the President and the Congress the authority to engage in such an international organization.
However, the leaders, such as Ted Cruz, you choose to elect are responsible for overextending this delegated authority in ways which are unconstitutional.
And what ways would that be?
That has to be one of the most ignorant and silly comments yet. All of U.S. law is based upon foreign law precedents that are properly cited in U.S. court decisions.
Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy and William Breyer cited foreign laws and court decisions in several "gay rights" and death penalty cases back as far back as 2005. Are you suggesting that these foreign legal precedents have any place in U.S. law? Justice Scalia didn't think so. His dissent in these cases was clear: "The basic premise of the court's argument -- that American law should conform to the laws of the rest of the world -- ought to be rejected out of hand."
I'll stand with the late Justice Scalia on this one, dude -- no matter how "ignorant and silly" you think this is.
