“..If there is any reasonable doubt as to whether Ted Cruz would be a NBC then as pro life Christians and patriots, we owe it to both ourselves and our posterity to give Ted Cruz the benefit of that doubt.
Our posterity is counting on us to do all we can to preserve the blessings of Liberty for them. Dividing over this issue at a time like this will do nothing to accomplish that mission.”
Great post!
As patriots of a nation founded on Christian principles, what we owe to our posterity is not "the benefit of the doubt" to anyone. We owe them a clear-cut definition of the words "natural born Citizen," as found in Art. II of the COTUS.
Those empowered by that very same COTUS to provide us with that service have avoided that responsibility, causing endless arguments among Christian patriots, as if by design of the unpatriotic, atheist, marxist Left.
The assiduous research quoted by those whom I disagree, or agree for that matter, is sincerely appreciated. The plethora of laws, statutes, regulations, dicta, related decisions, etc. do not directly relate to the questions surrounding the eligibility of Presidential candidates. They are extrapolation, pure and simple, on the part of those not authorized to do so. That would be us.
Cruz, whom I have come to regard as a great man and a voice for conservative principles of limited federal power, is not the someone we should ".... congeal around a single Tea Party Conservative NOW.... nor is any one else. Rather he should, IMNVHO, take this opportunity to lead a national effort to have the SCOTUS accept and hear on its merits one of the many valid appeals that have come before it and protect the Constitution.
Respected Justices of the SCOTUS have told us that they have avoided the issue. Why?
"Benefit of the doubt?" If the SCOTUS were to merely perform their constitutional function, there would not be a "shadow of doubt" as to who is eligible to run for the office of President and who is not.
