I disagree.
I am not cherry-picking anything. The use of the term “natural born citizen” is preserved in the Naturalization Act of 1790 and again we see it in the writings of James Bayard in 1833, James being the son of an original US Senator known as the High Priest of the Constition, and the Grandson of one of the signatories to the US Constitution.
George Washington signed the 1790 act, Congress wrote that act, and no one EVER disputed their use of the term “natural born citizen.”
So, right now the Major Media has us trying to destroy Ted Cruz with the presidential election more than 3 years away. We have an intervening national election in 2014 in which he could be a huge benefit to many in districts across the nation. He is trying to lead the charge in Congress to defund ObamaCare. He could some day run for Governor, run again for the Senate, or even be a Supreme Court justice. His credentials are out of sight.
And we’re busy tearing him down over something that hasn’t even happened yet and won’t happen for years.
I think conservatives are stupid. In the Stupid Party that’s pretty bad.
He’s one of the few trying to lead against ObamaCare and the Mainstream Media has us destroying any momentum he might gain by having us talking about something years in the future.
It's only some conservatives that are stupid, but they are very vocal with their stupidity.
Thanks for keeping the new pharisaical class on FR at bay, your work is appreciated.
It's still incomprehensible to me how many of these "conservatives" want to help the democrat/media complex take out one of our best candidates. Cruz is a man devoted to the US ideal, a great communicator who understands how to present the full picture of conservatism, one who understands the positive nature of the American ideal and how to further it. He, of all people, they want to remove on a technicality that is far from clear........an easily debatable construct, yet they really want to help the libs take him out over it.
It's depressing to watch these people. Who are they? As xzins might say it's the stupidist wing of the stupid party, and they're allied with our domestic enemies.
