Cruz says he is a US citizen 'by birth' despite being born in Canada
FOXNEWS.com ^ | October 28, 2013 | unknown

Posted on 10/29/2013 9:02:51 AM PDT by txrangerette

Cruz said in an interview with Fusion that because his mother is an American citizen he is a citizen as well.

"I was a U.S. Citizen by birth and beyond that I'm going to leave it to others to worry about...legal consequences", he said.

Our Nation was founded on the principle that citizenship was derived from parents that owed their allegiance to the United States. A person born with full and complete allegiance( both parents U.S. citizens) was considered “natural born”. Any person born with less than full allegiance was a citizen by code and considered a naturalized citizen( even if born on American soil. I find it interesting that you appear to have no knowledge of the Constitution and it’s original intent.

You are, quite frankly, on the lunatic fringe.
You have NO legal training what so ever.
You are wrong on your history.
You are wrong on the law.
You have absolutely NO legal authority to support your absurd opinions.
Not a single Judge agrees with you, in fact, nearly every Judge in the country would agree that the Courts have NO authority at all over eligibility issues.
No member of Congress agrees with you, and it is Congress which has final authority over the matter.
NO State Election Officer agrees with you, and they have the authority over ballots in the 50 States.
STOP trying to speak with “authority”.

Your position is false, your position is laughable, and your position is actually that of a FLAMING LIBERAL! Only a Liberal would want to give that much authority to the Courts. In fact, the first “birthers” were Hillary Clinton supporters in the Democrat Primary.

The vast majority of Freepers think that Cruz is eligible to be President.
It would seem to me that the Liberals are the people who are attacking Cruz!
I can not stand Obama, but that does not mean that I will sacrifice my integrity over STUPID attacks on anyone.

Grow up. Be a man. Face the fact that the vast majority of Conservatives think that Cruz is 100% eligible to be President.

Face the fact that you are wrong. You have FAILED to convince anyone that you are correct. The law is ALL about “legal opinion” and your opinion is in the slim minority.

1. My posts are SOLELY in regard to eligibility and IN NO WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY INDIVIDUAL.

DO NOT PUT WORDS INTO MY MOUTH.

EVER.

2. You are a known Obama supporter. In my OPINION your opinion and motivations on the subject of “eligibility” is suspect.

3. You did not refute “alpha 76” but instead launched a fusillade of unsubstantiated personal criticism of the poster. For example, “lunatic fringe”, and “NO legal training”. I do not know “alpha 76” and the posting history is short. Please enlighten us, on what do you base your allegations?

Give it a rest.
Read my profile for starters, do I SOUND like an “Obot”
I have a “Repeal Obamacare” sticker on my car and I am a health insurance agent.
Do I sound like an Obot?
You are an arrogant, know-it-all JERK!
I do not need your opinion.
You are poison to the conservative cause and I have every right to point out that fact. Anyone who thinks that Cruz is not eligible to be President is a MORON!
And moderators,

THIS IDIOT called me an “obot”

I WANT HIM BANWED FROM FREE REPUBLIC

And if you won't do that much? At least warn him to not make such comments again, about me!

Last post in this thread:

You DID make empty assertions. Which is the only point I am making in this thread. You have not substantiated your allegation regarding poster “alpha 76”.

I have read your posts and engaged with you for at least a year. You do support Obama. That’s your business.

“You are an arrogant, know-it-all JERK!” - Your powers of persuasion are overwhelming.

I have said NOTHING about anyone other than posters here, specifically you and “alpha 76”. I have said NOTHING about any one else AT ALL. Where do you get off calling for my being banned?

Well well, you stick up for a Cruz hater, and then you get mad since you are now associated with all of his anti-Cruz trash?

YES, you should be banned. It is not my call, but you are sticking up for someone who probably will be banned. Take that into account. And? I have never voted for Obama and I have worked hard against Obama. I just won't stand for LIES and stupid ideas from anyone.

I have said NOTHING WHATSOEVER about that. I ONLY said that you have leveled allegations about a poster and asked you to substantiate them. THAT IS ALL.

What is your problem?

If you are not an Obama supporter, I apologize. However at times you seem so.

Jim Robinson, who OWNS FR, is ALL IN for Cruz.

I absolutely came down very hard on an IDIOT who was attacking the eligibility of Cruz.

YOU then jumped into that argument.

I have a suspicion that you post here, on FR, under more than one nic. However, that is not my concern. I DO have the right to defend myself, and I DO have the right to support, vocally, candidates like Ted Cruz.

If I may be so blunt, in light of the foregoing I think you say what you need to say for the situation. I’d rather not get into that but instead return to my original point which is that you leveled an allegation against a poster for which I can not see any support. I know nothing of alpha 76, do you? How do you know that they do not have any legal training? I’m not going to carry any more water for this poster, but from the posting history I don’t see how you can make such a personal criticism of another poster.

Do NOT put words in my mouth.

I only post under one ID.

When someone posts legal NONSENSE -—

It is very fair and very appropriate to point out that the person making the silly post is not well trained on the subject.

If he were a lawyer, he could be disbarred for making such incompetent legal assertions in any Court.
