Cruz says he is a US citizen 'by birth' despite being born in Canada

Cruz said in an interview with Fusion that because his mother is an American citizen he is a citizen as well.

"I was a U.S. Citizen by birth and beyond that I'm going to leave it to others to worry about...legal consequences", he said.

[CodeToad]

“I’ve heard him interviewed, and he always sounds like he is constantly adjusting his words to ply to the audience.”

No, he doesn’t change his words. Give us a clear example or shut the Hell up. I am sick of you trolls claiming nefarious crap like this without any level of evidence to it.

[fieldmarshaldj]

But shouldn’t we be touched by their deep-seated concerns ? I mean, it takes an extra special person to be so deeply, deeply concerned.

[JouleZ]

We are losing this country because people are uneducated, lazy, and greedy. I put you in that category.

******

You couldn’t be more wrong. I’m a high school drop-out with a college degree who worked my way through life since 14 so shut your trap.

You are a name calling liberal Trust Fund baby who feels superior because everything was handed to you. (How do you feel being maligned?)

[JouleZ]

I have never bashed Ted Cruz. He is wonderful. I have to ask about his ties to corporate America via his wife. So sue me. Whatever. At least I think.

[JouleZ]

You should ping me when talking about me. That would be extra special in the manners department......

[fieldmarshaldj]

So you’re also deeply concerned I neglected to ping you to a post discussing how very deeply concerned you are ?

[Lakeshark]

What baggage are you talking about? I'm not aware of any, so please explain.

I do hope you keep your eyes open, so far he doesn't appear to be doing anything but following his promises he made as a candidate, along with bringing a conservative voice to the Senate and to Washington.

I like that, I surely hope you keep open to the possibility he may be a genuine breath of fresh air for the conservative movement, the very thing we sorely need.

[JouleZ]

No, I’m not concerned about your lack of manners. That was your Momma’s job.

[JouleZ]

he may be a genuine breath of fresh air for the conservative movement, the very thing we sorely need.

******

Yes he is and I love him and his message but after following politics for many years now I’m afraid to believe he is real. I just question his wife’s ties and worry that I’m being duped. Again. Big money can buy the Presidency. Just look at our current CIC.

Call me a cynic but I give up on FR for tonight. I’ve been called everything in the book and it’s really dis-heartening. Have a good evening.

[fieldmarshaldj]

So you’re not deeply concerned I neglected to ping you to a post discussing how very deeply concerned you are ? You did seem to be deeply concerned given your tone. If you weren’t concerned about my manners, why did you express concern, but now inform me that you weren’t concerned ? That is a tad concerning.

[fieldmarshaldj]

So you love Cruz, you love Cruz’s message, but you’re concerned about Cruz ? Are you concerned about being disheartened ?

[Impy]

What they fail to realize though is that they want three words of the Constitution to be honored

They want their ridiculous and universally rejected interpretation of those words honored.

[PhilDragoo]

Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin embody the principles of America and of Free Republic.

They are precisely what the endangered Republic requires to rebound from the Islamo-Socialist America-hating deviant.

The founders wished to ensure the nation they loved would be led, too, by one with that love.

Before the next syllable is uttered in ill-intentioned question of Cruz' credentials. . . .

there is no unimpeachable proof the current POTUS was born in Hawaii of the Kenyan father and the Communist mother.

That "mother" was a caretaker and that "father" was a placeholder--the script written by Frank Marshall Davis, Cora Weiss and Bill Ayers.

Shall America be passed from Hussein to Hitlery or to a pair of patriots?

Let us not talk falsely now, her fate is in our hands.

Does anybody know who “Fusion” is, or how I can see the video of what Cruz said? Fox has the video taken down so I looked at Fusion (Drudge has their link regarding Cruz saying Obama is overstepping his Constitutional authority) at http://fusion.net/justice/story/ted-cruz-canada-renounce-citizenship-video-15333 and see that those folks are the usual run-of-the-mill ignoramuses when it comes to Obama’s identity theft crimes. What is Fusion’s “bent”?

I believe we’re being led into a trap. NBC has been left undefined because the courts all denied standing to those who challenged Obama’s eligibility. But if Cruz is elected Hillary will challenge, she will have standing, and John Roberts - who decided that Obamacare is constitutional after suddenly changing his mind, a change he read to the world with red eyes and obviously unhappy demeanor - will define NBC when the entire DC establishment wants him to get rid of Cruz, the one thing standing in the way of DC’s pus-filled orifice.

The only way out of that trap is to get a ruling on the definition of NBC BEFORE Cruz runs. The media is setting up the trap in 2 ways: bringing up the issue so it won’t seem like this was a set-up by Obama’s masters all along, and using the issue to get Constitutionalists to fight each other and get some supporters of Cruz to believe that seeking a definition is unnecessary and an assault on Cruz personally, rather than a necessary step to PROTECT conservatives from having their candidate run and win, only to be cut down by Hillary appealing to a Soros-controlled John Roberts.

The people first bringing up Cruz’ eligibility are liberals. They are setting the trap. The more people insist that we already know Cruz is eligible so we don’t need a SCOTUS ruling on the definition of NBC, the deeper the trap is set. The left is using conservatives to lay a legal trap for Ted Cruz. We have to be smarter than that. We have to get SCOTUS to define NBC before we nominate a candidate for 2016 so SCOTUS can’t decide to change what everybody was assured were the rules AFTER we’ve chosen our candidate. Hillary knows all about that strategy, which is why she had Phil Berg file his lawsuit BEFORE the DNC Convention - so the DNC could still nominate somebody else (her) if it was ruled that Obama was ineligible.

Remember in “The Hobbit” when Bilbo was captured by trolls and Gandalf (or was it somebody else?) kept the trolls arguing about how to cook Bilbo before eating him - so the trolls forgot that morning was coming and the sun came up on them and turned them to stone? I fear that is what the media libs are doing to conservatives right now. They are keeping us arguing about what WE think NBC means so we forget that all that matters is what a compromised SCOTUS rules that it means. The urgency against Obamacare was blunted during its passage because people assumed that SCOTUS would rule it unconstitutional. Even if it is true and settled law that Cruz would be eligible, Obamacare has shown us that we can’t count on SCOTUS ruling according to what everybody already knows is constitutional. We are lulling ourselves to sleep if we argue that SCOTUS would HAVE to rule the way we believe is right. However they rule, the important thing is that it be BEFORE we choose our candidate and are locked in to that person.

I don’t know what the definition of NBC should be. Even worse, I don’t know what SCOTUS would rule it to be. What I do know is that the media and DC hate Cruz, SCOTUS is deeply compromised, and the media and courts have made sure that SCOTUS is legally able to rule Cruz ineligible when (not if) Hillary challenges it in court - which she would make SURE would be after it’s too late for the R’s to run a different candidate, and probably only use it as a last-ditch effort because Cruz won the election.

Lucy, Nully... can you ping the lists to this please? I’m not wandering into what NBC means because right now, with a compromised SCOTUS, that doesn’t even matter. What DOES matter is the way the libs are playing us like Gandalf played the trolls. We MUSTN’T fall into the trap. It is IMPERATIVE that we get a definition of NBC from SCOTUS before 2016.

Interesting development.

Cruz was MADE a citizen by a Naturalization Act.

In that case, all citizens are made citizens by the current naturalization act.

[rolling_stone]

wrong try again

[xzins]

Go read it.

[Venturer]

I have to agree with you.

We do need to get this settled.

I don’t know how it can be done.

[rolling_stone]

I am well aware of what it says now I suggest you go read the US Constitution.
