“If he were a liberal, he’d probably violate the split loyalty thing.....so that would be totally different. However, your Canadian passport argument is simply pathetic, absurd, and insulting.”

What’s pathetic or absurd about the argument that the American president ought to be born in America?

And no, I’m not of the opinion that ‘only liberals’ can have divided loyalties. Is that really the standard now, “being a conservative” is enough? That is a very broad, and open to all kinds of abuse.

So glad you asked. First, I never said THAT was a pathetic argument. What I said was pathetic was your reasoning on why Cruz didn't fit the bill as NBC. Two related, but not specifically the same, arguments.

Second, you aggrandizing of an accident of birth is unnerving and illogical. There are many people born in America who hate it, and plenty who were born elsewere who love it. By your absurd notion, we should choose the former over the latter if it comes down to that, which, by damn, it just might.
