“They were doing all they could to assure the people who were following them, that their leadership in the future would be led by those with sole and singular loyalty to the United States of America only, and BY BIRTH.”
Are you referring to natural born citizens like Rev Wright (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwQWuQVE6sw), or Bill Ayers?
They wished to avoid the foreign entanglements of a President born overseas, with high political ties and stakes in the affairs of foreign countries.
At least they were born here and are LEGITIMATELY constitutionally qualified to run for President. They could announce tomorrow. They could also PROVE their 100% American heritage.
I dislike them both rather distinctly. I don’t think they held true to the promise of America, because they have turned out so corrupted from those ideals. And BECAUSE they are clearly extremist wing nuts with ZERO loyalty to the United States, by their own words and deeds.
The founders trusted us in so far as to be able to determine loyalty for ourselves. They did not envision a time when people would FORGET what the word means! Ayers and Wright aren’t LOYAL to the United States, and anyone could come up with that information in seconds based on their words and deeds. They would never get CLOSE to becoming POTUS, the public would not have them.
They did the best they could, and that meant just starting with the conditions of one’s birth, because that is where Loyalty begins. Birth. There is NO wiggle room on it, its the ONLY way to try and determine a person’s loyalty and where it may lay is from starting with the conditions of their birth.
