The author isn’t the issue. It is posters on FR.
I loathe Obama but I looked at his British citizenship - or lack thereof, with an objective eye.
Same with Cruz.
What really scares me and has me pondering is this question:
Why are so many pundits AND even the DNC Chair coming out in favor of Cruz and many claiming it is settled law? Has the Cabal leader put the word out? Something seems fishy with so many people completely ignoring the fact that this is not settled law.

You ask a good question. One should get very suspicious when the Left suddenly gets all solicitous. My methodology is to identify the candidate that causes the Left maximum apoplexy. I figure that’s the right candidate for me.
the Marxist globalist left never passes up an opportunity to weaken our constitution. They would absolutely love to void the NBC clause and open the door more presidents like we have now.
Exactly! I have noticed this as well. They almost fawn over Cruz when the issue of his eligibility comes up. I was trying to do a google search for the quote Cruz made when first asked if he was eligible; “ under U.S. law, I’m an American citizen by birth.” “Beyond that,” he added, “I will leave the legal consequences of those facts to others to worry about.” I know he was asked on camera and gave that response - cause it floored me when I saw it. I can’t find the video though, just a few articles quoting him.
Anyway I had a bit of trouble locating that, but many pages of results came up - main media, lefty blogs, etc., headlined Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen. I thought to myself how weird that was.
All of that aside, the one thing people overlook a LOT isn’t just that a person who is a dual citizen or a naturalized citizen may have divided loyalties, but that the second country will almost certainly have LEGAL CLAIM on that person. This is a bigger deal now a days than it likely would have been back in the dawn of this country. Globalization is very real now, and it won’t be kind at all to people who are accustomed to many freedoms. We have already shown that we are willing to give up natural dignity and freedoms when we travel. We have let the government regulate our back yard gardens and little girls lemonade stands. Can’t have a Big Gulp.
I will tell you one thing, after reading the congressional records of those many attempts (since 1970) to amend the Art. 2 restriction on eligibility - it is NOT settled law. The lawyers act as though they own the narrative, yet the Constitution was written in common language. If people want an eye opener they should take an hour or two and read this: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=pst.000058149362;view=1up;seq=5
It’s a hearing before the Immigration subcommittee in 2005, and there are things in there about dual citizenship HELPING us as Global Citizens.
