I am starting to hate them all. They are so completely out of touch.
Thats fine - I'm sick of the same old cast of losers calling themselves 'conservatives' prattling on & on while Rome burns. Time to try something new.
Cruz is quickly becoming the male version of Palin as far as the ruling elite is concerned.
Pay no mind to French swine like these.
All-Star schmucks.
We, the Tea Party, have moved on.
The Framers never expressed what “natural born Citizen” meant
Be that as it may, there are several concepts enshrined in the Constitution that are not specifically spelled out because at the time, they were assumed to be unassailable or linguistically pure enough to be beyond argument (i.e. common knowledge).
In cases of a lack of a pure definition, I believe the Founders entrusted the citizens of the Republic, the People, to be the ultimate arbiters of the truth as it should be understood. Just because the term is not defined does not mean the Founders did not intend it to mean something. Perhaps, at the time of drafting, the term "natural born" was understood to mean something that was common knowledge and never questioned. The fact that they further elucidated "or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution" tells me that they understood that someone might be foreign born but in the future, that would not be the case, hence the definitive use of "or" or a lack of use of this phrasing at all.
I'm not trying to read more into this than there is, but I believe the Founders would've wanted us to define "natural born" in the confines of "jus sanguinis" where both parents were holders of citizenship in the United States only. In the case of Barack Obama, his father was a British subject, making Obama "jus soli" but not "jus sanguinis." I believe Ted Cruz, for the reasons stated in the article, is not a "natural born" citizen in the strict interpretation of "jus sanguinis" since his father was a Canadian citizen.
Then again, I'm neither an historian or a legal scholar. I'm just a citizen of this Republic trying to stay educated on her history and her future.
FWIW, I think Cruz would make a damn fine president.
Whom, on this website,is surprised???????????Anyone?????
Screw you, Tucker Carlson.
Screw you, Charles Krauthammer.

And John Cornyn, you’re not fooling ANYONE, so screw you, too.
< /unladylike behavior >

The ‘Inside the Velvet Rope” gang is letting it all hang out.

I think it’s brilliant.
Like it or not, TED CRUZ AND TED CRUZ ALONE will be identified as the guy that tried to stop all this when EVERYONE GETS INSURANCE HIKES AND REDUCED COVERAGE next year.
Ted Cruz can endorse fledgling primary candidates and they will win against incumbents on this issue alone.
The GOP elite has Karl “Tokyo” Rove and the other Longknives at work doing a character assassination of Cruz. Next thing you know we will be hearing about how Cruz did something mean in kindergarten.
Oh, how I have missed William F. Buckley Jr! Every day more than the one before. He could think, write, AND talk the truth with never a waiver.
Not one person in the media is willing to stand with the people.
They really don’t like Conservatives.
The Legal Insurrection followers seem to be against everyone.
Someone has to tell me where in this piece Tucker is making fun of Cruz.
It’s not there.
All the GOPe RINOs on Fox is the reason we have cut way back on time on FNC.
Turn off FOX News! Hit them where it hurts most, in the ratings. Why watch as they mock us?
Thomas Sowell:
Obamacare defund attempt helps president
http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/obamacare-defund-attempt-helps-president/
What could possibly rescue Barack Obama from all these political problems and create a distraction that takes all his scandals off the front page? Only one thing: the Republicans.
By making a futile and foredoomed attempt to defund Obamacare, congressional Republicans have created the distraction that Obama so much needs. Already media attention has shifted to the possibility of a government shutdown.
Politically, it doesn’t matter that the Republicans are not really trying to shut down the government. What matters is that this distraction solves Barack Obama’s political problems that he could not possibly have solved by himself.
Should Obamacare be defunded? Absolutely. It is an economic disaster and will be a medical disaster, as well as destroying the Constitution’s protections of American citizens from the unbridled power of the federal government.
For that matter, President Obama deserves to be impeached for arbitrarily waiving laws he doesn’t like, in defiance of his oath of office and the Constitution’s separation of powers.
But, for the same reason that it makes no sense to impeach either President Obama or Chief Justice Roberts, it makes no sense to attempt to defund Obamacare. That reason is that it cannot be done. The world is full of things that ought to be done but cannot in fact be done.
The time, effort and credibility Republicans are investing in trying to defund Obamacare is a high-risk, low-yield investment.
Even if, by some miracle, the Republicans managed to get the Senate to go along with defunding Obamacare, President Obama can simply veto the bill.
There is a United States of America today only because George Washington understood that his army was not able to fight the British troops everywhere, but had to choose carefully when and where to fight. Futile symbolic confrontations were a luxury that could not be afforded then and cannot be afforded now.
Pitiful, elitist, conceited crackpots - talk about what WE THE PEOPLE are ticked off about.
We are ticked off about the 30 hour work week.
We are ticked off about the rate design of Employer Penalty vs Employer Health Care Costs.
We are ticked off about the hiring of 16,000 IRS agents.
We are ticked off about all those tax increases,
We are ticked off about the excise taxes......
Yet you jerks only talk about procedures!
Krauthammer and O’Rielly were orgasmic over Obama. Cruz who is so much better at everything than Obama is pi$$ed on. I understand that Obamacare will not be overturned. But let our representatives voice our discontent with passion, honesty, courage and conviction. Let the Democrats vote for Obamacare. Let the Republicans vote for funding the government and defunding Obamacare
WELL EFF Fox News. I'll spend the next few years watching DWTS or whatever else is on instead.
