It is beyond me why the big issue about Cruz isn’t his eligibility problem. We all want to see parents have their children grow up and become President. However, let’s say JFK had a Cuban father who had family in Cuba. Then comes the Cuban missile crisis. The Air Force is on major alert and has B-52 loaded with nukes in the air 24-7. Our inter continentals are armed and ready to go. And JFK says to himself,
“My father has family in Cuba. I don’t want to blow Cuba out of the water. Dammit! I think I’ll call the whole thing off and let Cuba have those damned Russian ICBMs. Yep! That’s the ticket.”
That’s what Founder, John Jay, was concerned about when he wrote General George Washington,
“Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.”
Unless the citizens of America get off their high horses and use a little pragmatic common sense, we are going to let those fantasy world dwellers of the Unicorn Farm flush this nation down the toilet of history.
Silliness. Would a President not have the same issue if their grandparents or cousins or other relatives were in a foreign country?
‘It is beyond me why the big issue about Cruz isn’t his eligibility problem.’
Well said!
The founders wanted to ensure undivided loyalty to USA.
Anyone who has any ties to another country (by place of birth, by parentage...) will always have a soft spot for that other country.
Case in point -
Rubio - definitely wants to help out people from his father’s country (and other ‘Latinos’), hence the push for Amnesty.
obama - we all see what happened
Cruz - when conflicts arise between Cuba (his father’s country) and USA, at best, he will have a hard time deciding whether to act in the interests of USA or his other country/countries (or outright defend the other country/countries).
Certainly, nbc such as the Clintons are traitors, but their actions are for the love of money, not for the love of any countries.
That is why we need to elect those who have undivided loyalty (nbc) and who have the ability and intention to defend the best interests of USA and its people.
It is easy to choose those who have undivided loyalty (i.e. the nbc of USA as intended by the founding fathers), but it is not easy to determine who will defend the best interests of USA.
We would be wise to be objective in our observation, and, be strategic in weighing the political situation -
Who has the character and strength to do what he says he will do?
What kind of leader do we need now to defeat the media and uniparty?
