I was referring to the parenthesis you place around “conservative”.
Fantastic post!
I don’t consider them real conservatives if they’re engaging in deceptive behavior, so they get a quotation mark.
Trump questioned Cruz’s citizenship today, which is on another thread here on FR.
If Obama could run and be eligible with an American mother and Kenya father, how could Cruz not be eligible to run ?
Thanks. Now I’ve seen it. I haven’t been near a TV or radio all day long, and my time online has been limited to my cell phone.
Because he’s a 1) Democrat. 2) Black. 3) Commie. 4) He was allegedly born in Hawaii, which helped reduce pressure on the question.
Hilarious. That confirms my suspicions about you, in a convoluted and unintended way.
you so so so miss the point......first, you are right, Trump does NOT need to come at Cruz. If he does, he will suffer for it. But no, he doesn’t need to, which is why it is even more stupid to do so.
And vetting is fine, but the “vetters” never win. That’s the point.
Sorry to whoosh over your head the first time.
Cruz mother renouncing citizenship is speculative.
You didn’t answer my question?
Being a Dual Citizen has no impact on whether one is or is not a Natural Born Citizen.
That article is disgraceful and treasonous. Here is a direct response:

Cruz’s father claims he became a Canadian citizen. There has been nothing to support the claim that Cruz’s mother also became a Canadian citizen.
Cruz has got a problem. Lets hope it doesn’t become our problem that gets Hillary elected.

I answered it 4 times in one sentence!
News Flash: Obama was never eligible.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.
