I prefer to look at the actual facts, and then decide on the preponderance of the evidence. I even read the National Review articles, but found them long on emotion and short of significant facts.
In this case the evidence supports the idea that Ted Cruz has been co-opted by the Bush side of the Establishment. In addition, the original intent of “natural born Citizen” has not changed. It still means your father and you mother have to be citizens when you are born.
How has Cruz been co-opted? What policy stand has he taken to suggest he is becoming a liberal like Trump and Bush?
Not only that but born in this country as well — although I agree that if your parents were abroad serving this country (active duty military or diplomatic service) then a citizen should also be considered natural born and eligible to run for president. Why is it that article II of the constitution does not mean anything these days? Our founding fathers put that condition in our constitution for our protection, we ignored it once and got the worst president we have ever had, and now we are going to ignore it again, and by doing so render it meaningless forever?
I think we are being tricked with the Cruz candidacy, we are agreeing that Obama is legitimate by casting a vote for Cruz, and we are opening the door to someday making a foreigner, with only the most minimal connection to the US, and holding none of the beliefs we hold dear, the commander in chief of our military. What folly this is, and why can’t Cruz supporters see this? How can they be so short sighted?
Personally, I think that the US constitution, outside of the scripture, is the most sacred document ever penned in human history, inspired by God Himself. How unwise we are to ignore it!
