“The Way I See It” is an attempt by the columnist to enlighten readers on a subject as he views it, and does not necessarily reflect the views of this publication.
The Stupid Party
Samuel T. Francis, a ‘paleoconservative’ columnist that recognized the Lib/Progressive Culture War against Middle America many years ago, was the first to label the GOP, “The Stupid Party”. They will ignore and even criticize their Christian Conservative Constitutionalist base to make points with the Media and avoid any argument with the Leftist Democrats that might call them “mean”, “unfeeling”, or even “Racist!”, and do so on TV! Horrors! Now the Radical Leftists of the 90s are the Dem-Socialist leaders today and managed to elect a Constitutionally ineligible candidate as Prez, twice. They did this by keeping his records sealed, and keeping all legal challenges from ever being heard in court. That is why there is still no detailed Legal Definition to “natural born Citizen”! Many Low Information Voters now believe anything the Media tells them on this because The Stupid Party in now in cahoots with the Obamunists to make the Constitutional requirement meaningless. Why?
People tell me that Obama, Rubio, and Cruz “must be qualified” because ‘Judges’ are “dismissing” suits against Cruz in several states, but “dismissing” these cases are simply the Judges saying they don’t want to hear the case! They may not have real ‘jurisdiction’, or don’t have the means to ‘enforce a remedy’, or just don’t want the hassle, so they usually say “the complainant lacks ‘standing’”. The Stupid Party is allowing 2 ineligible candidates to run for Prez, and the “leadership’ is supporting Rubio now that their Crown Prince Jeb quit.
The GOP has talked endlessly for decades of bringing blacks, Hispanics, and working-class whites, even union workers, into the Party, but the RINO leadership wants to destroy the candidate that has succeeded in doing just that. Is their loyalty to their cushy jobs & the Washington Cartel greater than their loyalty to their constituents, the Constitution, and America? They want Ted Cruz destroyed, and if Trump doesn’t do it, they know the Dem Socialists will, and can by a simple challenge to his eligibility. Many are even saying they would rather have Hillary than Trump. WHY? Is Trump’s promise to cut out the waste and fraud such a threat to them? Or his promise to have an Administration that can and will solve the problems that keep getting worse?
The “Ted Cruz” problem is he was born in Canada, His father was a Cuban that became a Naturalized Canadian citizen in 1968; by Canadian law, Ted’s mother became a Naturalized Canadian as his spouse after residing in Canada for a year. Ted was born in 1970, a “natural born Citizen” of Canada. Researchers have found that she was registered to vote. Canadian law did not allow ‘Dual Citizenship’ at that time, so did she ‘acquiesce’ to renouncing her US citizenship? Also US immigration law ( https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/abroad/events-and-records/birth.html ) states:
“A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name.”
Note : “may acquire…..if…statutory requirements are met.” However, no CRBA has been offered to the public to show that Ted has any LEGAL claim to US citizenship. I think this is because a CRBA is a document of “citizenship by law” or Naturalization, obviously NOT “natural born citizen”. Does The Stupid Party really think the Dems will let this slide? All the evidence against Cruz is freely available while all the evidence against Obama is still sealed. Plus, The Stupid Party has “acquiesced” to Obama by running their own “ineligible” candidates.
This is a serious legal conundrum that must be decided in Court, before the convention. The GOP should DEMAND that Federal Courts rule on this and give a legal definition. On deciding this, all persons with interest in the outcome should be represented, historians, Constitutional scholars, and citizen groups, not just the “bought and paid for” lawyers for the Parties and ‘ineligible’ candidates.
Also we are seeing Trump being attacked by ‘Assassination by Innuendo’. Just like Harry Reid did to Mitt Romney in 2012 by suggesting tax fraud, now “Mittens” does it to Trump. Cruz says the Media has stories to publish that are negative to Trump, but his legal citizenship, not just “natural born citizen” is in doubt, now. And the Delayed Adolescent Rubio makes cracks about Trump’s fingers? (This is why I sometimes imagine we have all died and gone to Hell, and this is just some “Alternate Universe” designed by an insane & cruel Satan. Or is it just the Beltway Buffoonatorium?) If ‘Mittens’ and the GOP went after Obama in 2012 half as hard as they are going after Trump, we would be campaigning for his second term, and Trump would still just be writing checks. But they DIDN”T! And now “WE the PEOPLE” are demanding someone that will “Change it Back!”. Ted Cruz’s “TrusTed” meme may actually beat out Obama’s “Hope & Change” as the most ridiculous political lie in Modern History.
Ted Cruz is a very smart lawyer, even a genius litigator, and he has to know that basing his claim to “natural born Citizen” on a badly written 1790 law that was replaced in 1795 is no real lawful claim. He has the same problem Obama did: keep it out of any court, prevent any evidence being presented and any judicial decision, and trust P. T. Barnum’s adage, “Nobody ever went broke overestimating the gullibility of the American people.” And Barnum didn’t have ‘Faux Snooze’ and the rest of the Lap-Dog Media on his side. But the Dem Socialist lawyers are just waiting for the best moment to challenge him. They have the evidence, and they will certainly win in the ‘Ted Cruz’ case.
