Ted Cruz once again proves himself presidential
American Thinker ^ | February 7, 2016 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 02/07/2016 1:47:56 AM PST by GregKremer

As the New Hampshire primary fast approaches, I wish to remind voters that our next commander-in-chief must be of the highest character, cut from the rare cloth of our founders.

Sometimes God gives us great gifts in ugly packages. Recent attacks on Ted Cruz from both the Trump and Dr. Carson campaigns gifted Cruz an opportunity to show his character and presidential instincts.

[Do you think a president is entitled to pick and choose what pieces and parts of the Constitution he or she will adhere to?]

Expound.

"Congress has no authority to grant natural born citizenship."

Au contraire. The constitution specifically gives congress the right to define natural born citizenship.

I am talking about how Cruz speaks. He speaks down to people. He speaks as though his words are a revelation. I do not find him entitled to hold the office of president when he absolutely is not nor will he ever be a natural born US citizen. And furthermore he knows darn well he is not a natural born US citizen. Not even Jesus can or will make it so. So you tell me what that says about him?

How I know...I was born in Germany... I learned when schools were required to teach the Constitution, that to be a natural born US citizen requires two US citizen parents birthing their child on US soil. Now if I have lived my life knowing I am not a natural born US citizen, I am required, because of Cruz’s faith to ignore what I have lived?

No congress has authority to naturalize citizens... Congress cannot give natural born citizenship...only two US citizen parents giving birth on US soil bestows natural born citizenship. It is akin to a birthright, one is born with it or they are not.

Cruz should back a plan to carpet bomb the mexican and central anerica cocaine fields.

"If Cruz does not win NH, does that mean Jesus stayed in Iowa?"

I still do not get your accusation? I am not the one playing Jesus sent me, vote for me. Then shedding the Jesus talk and coming out like a wise lawyer. Whom have I used?

I agree with you. Last week, Cruz did a radio interview on a conservative New England show. He ended the conversation by telling the host “God Bless.” It was awkward and out of place. Cruz is running for President of the United States, not Pastor of the United States.

It was just after Iowa, so I suspect that he was still in Bible-thumping mode. I bet he goes more secular as it suits his strategy. I am suspicious of Elmer Gantry types.

With you, Cruz can’t win: skips Senate - not doing his job, skips debate - arrogant to NH voters.

Sadly I am greatly disappointed. I thought he was the real deal. I have no pleasure in facing reality.

Jesus couldn’t heal the people in his home town, remember? Which is why no one, no one, will be able to heal America without revival. Become rich? Sure, but not being healed.

Try and get past your ‘voice’ issue with Cruz, please.

Cruz is the only candidate, and I mean the only one, who will risk his political capital to place real conservatives on the judiciary. That is the most important thing the next president can or will do.

In the next 8 years, a president could possibly replace 4 Supreme Court justices. Think about it. That alone seals the fate of our nation.

Don’t we love freedom of speech? DT can stand and pose like he is a president but once he opens his mouth “fuhgeddaboutit.”

"No congress has authority to naturalize citizens"

You better look up Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 of the US Constitution: "The Congress shall have Power To...establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization...."

You better also look up 'us sanguinis' (Latin: right of blood). Are you telling me that John McCain (born in Panama) wasn't eligible to become president?

“I can just imagine Cruz talking Jesus to the heads of state in India, while eating a Texas style beef steak dinner.”
