When I read some of the posts of some of these (for lack of a better word) “birthers”, I get very discouraged and I frankly believe that we really lack the political will to mount a campaign to save this Republic and restore our Constitution. If we, on Free Republic of all places, are going to quibble over whether we will allow a patriot like Ted Cruz to become president based on three archaic words that are subject to reasonable interpretive differences, then we might as well pack it in right now and let Chris Christie take the nomination and give us the defeat at the polls that we so richly deserve.
Well, I don’t know if the words are archaic, but I agree with this author and Levin and many other constitutional scholars and accomplished lawyers who have successfully argued and won supreme court battles that Cruz is indeed a natural born citizen. To me, unless or until the SCOTUS rules otherwise, in this voter REBELLION, that’s the end of the argument. I’m certainly not going to place much weight or confidence in the unsubstantiated words of anonymous sea lawyers or the birther cottage industry. I’ll take another look if and when they get it to the SCOTUS and win.
Hopefully, my message will get clearer as time goes on:

We are in open rebellion (tea party rebellion) against the ruling class and Ted Cruz is one of our strongest fighters and leaders.
There’s no crying in rebellion!
Damn the torpedoes. Damn the naysayers! Full steam ahead!!
The VOTER Rebellion is ON!! JOIN OR PERISH!!
Why did the founders include an exception clause for themselves when writing the qualifications for eligibility? ... Because they could not meet the stated requirements at that time in the early History of the new Republic! Well, I intend to apply that exception clause to Ted Cruz, should he get the nomination, and for the same reason the founders included it in the Constitution ... namely, the patriotic fervor of the founders (who could not meet the requirement) made them the best men for the job of running the new Republic.
With the placing of little barry bastard boy in the White House, despite his ineligibility, his fraudulent criminal behavior (that 'birth certificate' he claimed as his real one is as phony as a three dollar bill), and impeachable offenses, the exception has been made to have a pResident outside of Constitutional requirements.
Now we will use that same strategy/tactic to end the leftists stranglehold on the Republic, if we get the chance. [Frankly, PM, I do not expect the globalist who now run this nation and the nations throughout this planet, to allow conservatism to arise again in America. It is too much threat to their globalist oligarchical agenda.]
