Remember how WND pushed the Obama birther issue, raised money to fight it, etc.

Now Farah doesn’t blink an eye over Cruz’s Canadian birth.

very good point.
WND another hypocritical rag.

Look Obama is not born here, oh wait we have a man who quotes scripture and not born here, hell he was Canadian two years ago but we have no problem with that.

Is Ted Cruz eligible for presidency?[2013]

'Now let me say this at the outset: I really like Ted Cruz. I think he would very likely make a fine president. But I think it’s important that we elect only those who are constitutionally eligible – those who fit the definition of “natural born citizens.”

Is he eligible?

I don’t know for sure, but I suspect not – at least not by my understanding of what the founders had in mind when they ratified the Constitution.

I admire the way Ted Cruz has handled the matter. He quickly released his birth certificate. He didn’t make ad hominem attacks on anyone who questioned his eligibility. He didn’t suggest anyone who dared question him had racist motivations.

He even went so far as to renounce his Canadian citizenship! And he is not yet a candidate for president. The next presidential election is still three years away.

But I have to honestly say that I don’t think the founders intended for those holding dual citizenship at birth to be presidential candidates. After all, America has plenty of people who clearly meet the minimal eligibility requirements to be president. Do we really need to stretch them to the breaking point?

What I would hope to see at this point, now that Obama is a lame duck, is an open and honest dialogue and healthy and vigorous debate and an intelligent and fact-based public hearing on what the Constitution means when it requires presidents and vice presidents to be “natural born citizens.”

Sadly, it’s still not happening – not even with Cruz.'
