Wasn’t Cruz born in Canada? How can he run for president?
Of course he has far more enemies than friends, and we know the reason why (John 17).
Praying for his protection and his strength and perseverance and reliance on the Lord, and may the Lord grant us repentance that we may turn back to God as a nation and not be totally destroyed.
And hence, we get all of these sudden MSM stories about Cruz’s eligibility and FR’s in-house circular firing squad becoming overly active.
“Carpeted dias”?
Isn’t that Latin for, “shag the day”?
At the most opportune time, say just before the Hildebeast announces her candidacy, Cruz should make a speech for support of an Article V amendment convention.
It would consume the political oxygen, change the focus of national debate over night . . . and just may lead to our nation's salvation.
...and the pubbie insiders say he doesn’t have a chance in the election........the same thing they said about Reagan.
Given the fact the current tax code is the #1 cause of political corruption in Washington, DC, can be used by the Federal government to punish or favor any taxpaying entity, and will now cost US$500 BILLION per year in compliance costs, phasing out the income tax in favor of something like FairTax (H.R. 25/S. 122) would be the biggest "return of the power to the people" since the American Revolution. And it would create the biggest economic boom in American history because we no longer tax the process of earning money.
You can bet even now the communist Dems are sniffing out all of his tax returns from age 2 forward, and Gloria Alred is busy mining the fields for anyone who knows of anyone, anywhere Ted made “uncomfortable” or looked at ‘funny’,,,and that’s just the start. I am sure the Dems are farming Ted’s constituents to find the ONE disgruntled poor soul whom Ted offended,,,and will trot out said soul at the most opportunistic time.
The media is predictable. They’ll exhaust their ink, telling the nation he’s eligible, then when he gets close to winning the nomination, or just after that, they’ll lower the boom. Objective, to throw his campaign into disarray and make the party look foolish and incompetent. (And of course exteme.)
However, I don’t really expect he’ll get that far. More likely we’ll still have open primaries, since nobody ever lifts a finger to fix that problem. There’ll be another Romney run, or some other watered-down RINO loser will step forward. Meanwhile the Dems need only locate another melanin-rich individual. If they can’t, they can always permit a few million illegals to vote.
Voting doesn’t work for us any longer. People need to accept that.
I’m wondering if Paul/Cruz either order would be unstoppable. If only they can get past the RNC, that is.
Since everyone who was a citizen at the time of adoption is dead and likely to remain that way, we can remove the grandfather clause wording. We are left with “No Person except a natural born Citizen [...] shall be eligible to the Office of President;”
Why does the Constitution speak of “citizens” and separately of “natural born citizens”? It is a matter of allegiance.
A person can be a “citizen” if they were citizens or subjects in some other country first but have come here and met the naturalization requirements. Also, if one is the offspring of a citizen and a non-citizen, then one is a US citizen. However, in both these cases it can be argued that the person might choose allegiance to their former country or to the country of the foreign-born parent or at least the allegiance might be considered divided. It is this divided or alienated allegiance that the Constitutional provision is designed to prohibit.
If, however, both of one’s parents are themselves US citizens, then one is a “citizen” as well as a “natural born citizen”. The “natural born citizen” is one who at birth has no natural allegiance to any other country and the Framers felt could be trusted to be loyal to the US and not act as a foreign agent. (*)
Note that native born is not the same as natural born. Native born simply refers to the place of one’s birth, i.e., one’s nativity. The term does not speak to the legal circumstances of a birth, merely to its location.
(*)[footnote: Also, in their time, the rules of royal succession held sway throught much of the world and the Founders wished to forestall any potential claims by the crowned heads of Europe or their scions to sovereignty in the US.]
I am there!
Made it to post 21.......
The progressive wing of the GOP is scared to death off Ted Cruz. He is going to give them a good stropping if he ever gets on a debate stage. Ted Cruz is for real folks.....I’m am still honored to have been given the privilege of voting for him!!!!
a year or so ago many of us were high on marco rubio. He drank from the amnesty koolaide pitcher so to hell with ya marco.
Here’s hoping Cruz is a real deal conservative not just another piece of crap.
Almost looks and sounds to me as if TED CRUZ is a REINCARNATION of the SPIRIT of the FOUNDING FATHERS.
Wouldn't you LOVE to see Ted Cruz debate Hillary Clinton.
I believe as Cruz grows in popularity and his candidacy strengthens the attacks by the left will become almost maniacal.
