Ted Cruz cannot be president. He is not a Natural Born Citizen as the constitution requires.
As president he will have to swear an oath to uphold, defend and preserve the constitution.
None of which he can do without first violating it.
To uphold the constitution, his first act would be to remove himself from office.

The very first time our constitution gets in the way of his political ambitions, he wants to ignore or reinterpret the Constitution of the United States of America to suit his personal agenda.

What else, in our constitution is going to get in the way of his personal political ambitions.

Barack Obama is also not a Natural Born Citizen and maybe now we know why, as a United States Senator, Ted Cruz never called him on it.

CRUZ: Two Points of View

3/7/2016


1st Point of View


Don't buy into this BS about Cruz. You already know he's not qualified to be President based on his non non natural born citizen status. Also, based on the 13th amendment he's not qualified since he holds a title of nobility, "Esquire" from a foreign country. After that you have to take a look at his membership in the Council on Foreign relations and his wife's association with Goldman Sacs and her work on TPP to get TPP banks established. Cruz is a NWO advocate through and through so don't be fooled by what he's saying out loud. Trump calls him liar Ted for a reason. Think about it carefully before you jump on the Cruz train.

I've watched Cruz twist half t***hs into something altogether different so the outcome would make Trump look bad and make Cruz look like a knight in shining armor. He's a Liar and a manipulator working for the NWO crowd and don't loose sight of that. How many in that crowd have you heard make bold statements about their goals then when elected find that they do exactly the opposite. Ted will be no different, he doesn't have the US in his DNA and he has questionable loyalty to this country, just look behind the curtains to see who he really is and you'll find a NWO puppet hiding there.

These things may not bother you, but they have my attention. A v**e for Cruz would be in violation of the Constitution as he's not legally able to accept that v**e and have it counted. Further more, when he gets placed on the b****t it's an act of fraud that could only be perpetrated in a system that has been usurped by foreign interests who choose to ignore our founding documents.

I may be wrong, but I think I can see the two parties consolidating into the one party we've been thinking all along was two. The mask is coming off now so we can see there really is only one party. If you v**e left you'll get an establishment puppet and if you v**e right you'll also get an establishment puppet. Trump is the only one that may, and I emphasize may be an outsider that can do this country some good, if he isn't assassinated first.


2nd Point of View


Ted Cruz is the real deal. He is a true conservative to the marrow of his bones. Not the kind of “conservative” you find in Washington, D.C., the kind that has betrayed us for decades — but a true constitutional conservative as the Founders intended. The Constitution isn’t just an afterthought to Ted Cruz. He memorized this sacred document when he was 13 years old, and those words are ingrained in the very fabric of his being.

When he was 15, Ted Cruz was one of five Houston kids selected by the Free Enterprise Institute to tour the country and speak about the Constitution. Prior to graduating high school, Ted had delivered 80 speeches on such topics as economics, the Austrian economist von Mises, and the importance and meaning of the Constitution.

Ted was accepted at Ivy League’s Princeton University. He naturally joined the Princeton debate team. He became a champion debater, winning multiple categories, including 1992 Team of the Year and 1992 Speaker of the Year. He additionally won significant national debates earning awards for the 1992 National Championship for Top Speaker and the North American Debating Championship Top Speaker. Today, he is forever enshrined in the Princeton debate hall of fame.

Ted continued his debating record at Harvard Law School where he became a world debating championship semifinalist.

Upon graduating from Harvard Law School, Ted landed a job as the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice law clerk in U.S. history, clerking for Chief Justice William Rehnquist. He later went into private practice defending his first love — the United States Constitution. Working on matters relating to the Second Amendment and the NRA, Ted helped prepare testimony for the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton. When he was 28, Cruz joined the George W. Bush p**********l campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising then governor George W. Bush in a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration and government reform.

He was still barely 30 years old.

At age 33, Ted Cruz became the youngest solicitor general of Texas in American history. He would go on to become the longest serving solicitor general, ferociously fighting for the Constitution. He sought out conservative, constitutional causes, distinguishing himself with exceptional achievements and victories:

• Cruz authored 70 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court — more than any practicing lawyer in all of Texas or any current member of Congress. He took on some of the biggest cases decided by the courts in decades — and won virtually every single time.

• Cruz won a huge Second Amendment victory in the District of Columbia versus Heller, drafting the amicus brief signed by the attorneys general of 31 different states and presenting the oral argument. This victory struck down a D.C. handgun ban as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms — and it changed everything regarding your right to carry a gun.

• Cruz wrote a brief on behalf all 50 states in the Elk Grove Unified School District versus Newdow case, in which atheist activist Michael Newdow sued on behalf of his daughter to stop schools from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. He objected to the phrase, “One Nation Under God.” For months, the pledge was not spoken in nine western states — until Cruz argued the case. The Supreme Court upheld Cruz’s belief that Newdow had no standing to file suit on behalf of his daughter.

• Cruz successfully defended the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments Monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the Fifth Circuit Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, the Ten Commandments Monument currently stands on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol.

• Cruz fought on behalf of the state of Texas to uphold the death penalty sentence for a vicious gang member who was in the United States illegally when he and other gang members brutally beat, raped, tortured and k**led two teenage girls in Houston. The Mexican Consulate became involved, as well as then President George W. Bush, who sided with the Mexican government and turned the case over to the International Court of Justice which ruled against Texas and stayed the execution. Texas then turned to Solicitor General Ted Cruz. Appearing before the U.S. Supreme Court, Cruz successfully defended the Constitution. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that decisions from the International Court of Justice were not binding in any domestic law and even the president had no power to enforce them. Ted Cruz won and gang member Jose Medellin met his maker.

Ted Cruz has a proven record of fighting for and defending the United States Constitution — even when it means going against the establishment. In the case of Medellin versus Texas, not only did he go against a brutal, i*****l a***n murderer, the country of Mexico, the Geneva Convention, the International Court of Justice — but also his former boss and the president of the United States, George W. Bush. This may provide insight into why George W. Bush broke his long-standing policy not to comment on politics to say recently about Cruz, “I just don’t like the guy.” Being embarrassed and beaten on the international stage isn’t generally followed by afternoon tea.

There’s a reason why the Republican establishment in D.C. is known for not liking Cruz. They stand for the party, for themselves and for their own political power. Ted Cruz doesn’t play party politics or political games. Ted Cruz stands for principles, values, integrity and the United States Constitution.

Ted understands the gravity of our situation, and he understands how to right the wrongs of the past eight years by holding true to the principles of the U.S. Constitution. It’s all there, written long ago by the brilliant men who fought the fierce battle for freedom and liberty. We don’t need a bailout, we don’t need any new government programs. We need to return to the First Principles laid out for us by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson.

Ted Cruz was raised with the Bible and the Constitution on his kitchen table every single day of his life.

As valedictorian, magnum cum laude graduate, Ivy League scholar, debating champion, Supreme Court law clerk, defender of our constitutional rights and U.S. senator, Ted Cruz has held firm to conservative beliefs and values. He is a dedicated husband, loving father and committed Christian. He is a constitutionalist. But, most of all, he is consistent, with a proven track record and history.

It’s time to send a man of honor and character to the White House, a man who says what he means and means what he says. It’s time to send a man that will proudly place his hand upon the Bible and solemnly swear to faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That man is Ted Cruz, and his time is now.

Trump's positions all of these six issues are great:

For healthcare, what I like the most is the availability to buy health insurance across states line. It is not just convenient for the patients but also it will bring costs down because of competition.

For immigration, what I like the most is no more anchor babies; this should not have happened. This was not what the Constitution had intended for. But I am not so sure that we can make Mexico pay for the wall, a portion of it maybe.

For the Second Amendment, the best part is the concealed carry permit will be allowed across the country and also addressing the broken mental health system to be fixed is very important and a must.

For VA hospital, it is also a great plan for our service men and women in the military; I like all of it. Especially it allows patients to use their ID card to access to other hospital services and also the part that helping to find jobs and hiring the veterans to take care of their own people whom they would understand the problems better than anyone else.

As far as dealing with China, the plan is great but to implementing it is not that easy. I think it could be done but it is going to be very tough.

For Tax Reform it is also making sense it would work for everybody including the IRS. It is a good plan when everybody wins. And the best part of it is that "NO MORE DEATH TAX". I h**e this tax because it is just robbing the grieving family who has already lost their loved one and then the government just comes in and take what is supposed to be in the family away. This is criminal, wh**ever the person left behind had been taxed already and why tax more; this is called double taxation. I had seen family after the grieving is over they have to deal with the government over the inheritance and sometime is up to 2 years. What gives the government the right to make itself a beneficiary?

So Trump's plans to all these issues are great; it is full of comment sense and fairness.

I was arguing with someone a few years ago about whether there is a god or not. My position was pretty certain, there was no god. The person I argued with told the following story:

One day, some scientists were arguing with God. They told God that He wasn't needed anymore because anything He could do, science could do just as well.

"Really," said God quizzically.

"Really," insisted the scientists.

"Can you make trees and bushes," asked God.

"We've done it many times," boasted the scientists.

"Can you make life from dirt," God asked.

"Certainly," said the scientists.

God said He would like to see them do that.

One of the scientist reached down and picked up a handful of dirt. He motioned for God to follow him into the lab.

God looked confused so the scientist explained that they would take the dirt into their lab and show God how they did it. God could go with and watch the process.

God shook His head. "No, no," He said, "use your own dirt."



That story, silly as it is, revealed a stark t***h to me. God, whoever He is, had to have been here before dirt. That changes the entire argument from the usual atheistic comparisons of God to Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. It completely invalidates their argument because it demonstrates that they can't account for the "dirt".

I still am not a religious subscriber but I am also not so confident of my argument against God. Until I can account for the dirt, I must accept the possibility that there is a God. So. Is there a God?

The atheist must believe as strenuously as any religious believer because his facts are no firmer than those of the religious person... who does account for the dirt by invoking magic. The atheist invokes magic of a different kind but it is still magic.

I am left with a question unanswered... and maybe unanswerable. I simply do not know.

I would go a little further and claim that the Second Amendment also doesn't protect our right to bear arms. I believe it describes a right we already have (unalienable) and that We the People are entirely responsible for protecting that, and any other, right.

Continuing my annoying opinion, I don't believe the Second Amendment has anything to do with sport or hunting. I also don't think it has anything to do with personal protection. Those are side benefits. It has only to do with protecting We the People from tyrannical government. That is our huge responsibility as citizens. I don't see many who meet that responsibility these days, or even seem to recognize it.

Forums such as this one are encouraging. The folks who post here seem to have a more informed opinion than is now normal. Agree or disagree, I appreciate an informed opinion.
