    All good points with me.

    You're the minority. And that minority dies off more and more each day

  • BTW in 1960 there were less than 300,000 violent crimes in the United States. In 2013 there were well over a million. thanks for the progress Woody! Things are looking up bro!

  • He should not allowed to be president IMO. He was born in Canada. Period.

    The GOP has awful leadership.

    I like Rick Perry WAY more than Ted Cruz

  • For some reason the republicans think they cannot win the general election with a conservative candidate. I would argue where did running not so conservatives like Dole, McCain and Romney get us? I heard the same thing with Reagan he was too conservative and he was the best president in my lifetime. I would be happy with Cruz or Rick Perry.

  • Obama wasn't born here either so why does it matter?

    if you believe some bullcrap photoshopped picture of a birth certificate you are pretty stupid also.

  • WELL, I will not vote for Jeb the modpansy Bush. And, about Gov Perry? Good guy, but a very conservitve friend

    of my Father-in-law told me, that he was a good gov., but he was not a smart man. Wouldn't make a good president.

    I admire THune, but he isn't running... I like Cruz, but I like him better in the Congress.

    Walker and Carson are the guys I want to vote for.

    Hear that, republican party? A Walker-Carson ticket would make me happy. And would win.

  • How about Condoleezza Rice/Carson?

  • BTW in 1960 there were less than 300,000 violent crimes in the United States. In 2013 there were well over a million. thanks for the progress Woody! Things are looking up bro!

    So 32 years before I was born until now... Sounds like something my generation is not solely responsible for.

    Deny it if you want... But you can't change the inevitable

    You can't accept the fact that you don't speak for your generation. Yes, I'm against interracial marriage, thats why I married a Japanese and have half Japanese kids you moron, lol.

    I never said YOU were. READ. I'm saying these views used to exist, in much larger numbers, and have been phased out over the generations.

    I never said I speak for my generation either. But I can find public opinion polls that agree with what I'm saying

    It means that progress, moving forward, change etc is not in and of itself positive.

    Never said it always was. At one point Germany "progressed" to Nazism.

    As a whole though, I'd imagine it is a net positive change. On many fronts (technology, human rights, etc).

  • Obama wasn't born here either so why does it matter?

    if you believe some bullcrap photoshopped picture of a birth certificate you are pretty stupid also.

    Riiiight

    Those are the stupid people...

  • Martin Van Buren was the first Natural Born U.S. President...... All before him were British subjects or born to British subjects prior to the constitution.

    If you took an "originalist" view of "Natural Born Citizen" then neither Obama nor Ted Cruz would qualify - both parents would have needed to have been citizens.

    I don't want Cruz to be the next U.S. president, but I can't see how the Supreme Court could grant standing to hear a case on his citizenship after not granting standing for people (Initially democrats from Hillary's campaign) to have Obama stricken from the ballot.

    Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as president of the United States:

    “ No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

    ***************************

    Natural-Born Citizen Defined

    One universal point most all early publicists agreed on was natural-born citizen must mean one who is a citizen by no act of law. If a person owes their citizenship to some act of law (naturalization for example), they cannot be considered a natural-born citizen. This leads us to defining natural-born citizen under the laws of nature – laws the founders recognized and embraced.

    Under the laws of nature, every child born requires no act of law to establish the fact the child inherits through nature his/her father’s citizenship as well as his name (or even his property) through birth. This law of nature is also recognized by law of nations. Sen. Howard said the citizenship clause under the Fourteenth Amendment was by virtue of “natural law and national law.”

    The advantages of Natural Law is competing allegiances between nations are not claimed, or at least with those nations whose custom is to not make citizens of other countries citizens without their consent. Under Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes (1866) made clear other nation’s citizens would not be claimed: “All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are declared to be citizens of the United States.”

    Rep. John A. Bingham commenting on Section 1992 said it means “every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))

    Obama's mother in law was originally opposed to Michelle marrying him because he was a mixed breed, but said it would have been worse if he had been all white....

  • Hmmm. Was Ted Cruz's first POTUS advertisement in spanish?
