It’s sad when we eat our own. JCBreckenridge has apparently debated this issue extensively and heatedly in the past. I can’t remember for sure, but I think it’s the first time I’ve thought or posted about Senator Cruz’s citizenship. I wish we could all be more patient with dissenting views—so long as they come from folks who are clearly conservative—but it’s Jim’s site to run as he wishes. Hopefully JCBreckenridge will be reinstated soon.

There are plenty of folks who are far more knowledgeable about the “natural born” constitutional requirements than I. I always like to post that whenever a constitutional debate ensues, gray areas MUST go to the states or the people. That’s clearly what the founders intended. In the case of Senator Cruz, there hasn’t been a definitive ruling by the Supreme Court (and I wouldn’t trust them anyway). There’s a little bit of gray area, so which result retains the most power in the hands of the people?

I’d vote for Senator Cruz for president.

Dissenting views don't include outright, flat-footed lies about a conservative politician holding a Canadian passport.

I don't want a known liar and attacker of conservatives back.

Well, Breckenridge should not have been eating our own. Not on FR. He can go to RINOS_R_Us.com us to eat all the conservatives he wants.
