George Washington’s signature on that legislation had a caveat. So we know that even he felt there was an exception. That legislation was repealed five years later for some reason. There is evidence pointing both ways as to the status of citizens born overseas.

Both sides quoting laws and declaring that they’re right does no good. Each side is further alienating the other.

You think one thing. I think another. John Doe thinks something else and so does Jane. The issue is very personal to FReepers on both sides.

Do you want to keep FR united or do you want to be right? I’m willing to stop arguing for the sake of FR. Are you?

IOW, there is reasonable doubt. What I am saying is that any reasonable doubt must be resolved in favor of Ted Cruz.

We owe it to our posterity to ensure that any and all benefit if the doubt be resolved in favor of Ted Cruz's NBC status. He is the point man in the battle to save this republic. He hasn't declared his candidacy because to do so would place everything he says and does from that point on under the regulations of the FEC.

We need to congeal around a single Tea Party Conservative NOW. If we delay this then we run the risk of there being a half dozen conservatives running against the GOPe candidate and in the end we will end up with another McCain or Romney.

So we can't wait until he declares before we work out this issue. We have to decide right here and right now whether or not we can support him for president, and those who insist that they could never support him because they think that it was the intention of the founders to exclude such a patriot in the face of the present constitutional crisis can and should find another forum to poison the well.

We need to air this issue out now and we need to find out who is with us and who is against us.

No court will ever rule that Ted Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen. So this issue is a destructive distraction.

My plea is that all patriotic and pro-life and pro liberty Freeper will find it within their conscience to give Ted Cruz theq benefit of the doubt. This is nothing less than the most liberal or the most constitutionally conservative courts would do. It is not too much to ask.

See no eligibility. Speak no eligibility. Hear no eligibility.
