Whatever. You do what you think you have to do and I’ll do likewise. And that applies to the entire birther cottage industry. You, Hillary, Tokyo Rove and the GOP-e can all get together and have a high old time. You’re all going to be joined at the hip against Cruz.
LOL, I don’t think I top the Birther industry. I’m rather tame when it comes to that.
I read, I do it because it was a question that seemed to have no clear answer - the natural born thing - and I became curious. So, I read period writings and such, and hope that I stumble across a letter from no less that G.W. with his own definition of the term written out.
I know I haven’t found the answer, not in the thousands of posts nor the hundreds of hours I have spent reading historical accounts, but I have learned a lot.
I won’t disregard the facts of history, nor will I state something as a fact if I have not got solid reference to back it up. So, you see, I am destined to only be a very junior member of the birther mob.
I think that many of these people that strictly interpret the eligibility clause should not be considered enemies of our cause.
I am one of them.... BUT You changed my way of thinking.
Now, assuming Cruz is on the ticket, I will support him.... enthusiastically.... But not because I think he is a Natural Born Citizen. I will support him because I love my country and this is war. We need someone like him to help us climb the mountain and rebuild the "Shining City on the hill".
So rather than insist that everyone like Ladysforest agree that Cruz is a natural born citizen, why not use your position and convince them that in order to save our union, as conservatives on the same side, we should all support his candidacy if he is the best qualified conservative on the ticket. Our union is at stake and we are not in normal times.
