It's an interesting question.

I did a quick Google and about half the articles say he's not eligible and the other half say he is.

I suspect Steve_NO thinks Rubio is NOT eligible, or he would not otherwise risk having to put a Ron Paul bumper sticker on his SUV. lol

the issue is not clear to me, at all. the constitution doesn't define natural born citizen....which is kind of a shocking oversight, but they probably weren't focused on the issue. after all, the founders got their citizenship simply by living in the former colonies at the time the Constitution was adopted....and none of their parents could have been US citizens.

Well I guess we need to impeach Thomas Jefferson:

Jane Randolph Jefferson, n�e Jane Randolph (1721�1776,) was the wife of Peter Jefferson and the mother of president Thomas Jefferson. Born February 9, 1721 in Shadwell Parish, Tower Hamlets, London, she was the daughter of Isham Randolph and Jane Rogers, and a cousin of Peyton Randolph.[1

Compelling argument.

Game, set and match as far as I'm concerned.

That rule is about as absurd as the 18th Amendment anyway. Let me ask some of you "purists" this question; A man who came here at the age of six, went to school here, served thirty years in the Armed Forces, decorated, held the highest security clearances, life member of the NRA smile likes baseball, drives Chevys, has a gorgeous babe for a wife, you know "one of the guys", etc. Would you prefer him over the current Marxist in office...? smile

It would likely shock you (being from CA) how many folks I deal with that are carrying open. It's not something to get worked up about.

I went through a state trooper road block here in upstate NY a couple years ago with a rifle stuck muzzle down in the split bench seat of my truck. All the trooper asked me in regards to the rifle was "had any luck hunting" ? I've also been checked twice in the past three years by game wardens. In both instances, I was walking down the side of the road with a rifle in my hand. Neither warden tried to disarm me nor even made any inquiry as to whether my rifle was loaded or not. Just checked my hunting license and said "good luck with your hunt".

"a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof"



If this is true (I do not know whether it is or is not), then Rubio would seem to be eligible if he was born in Florida to parents in this country legally.


The questions about Obama's eligibility are not due to his color (I don't like his white half either) or his liberalism (communism) but rather due to some rather serious questions that he refuses to answer about whether the Constitution has been violated.

Voting him out in November would, indeed, be the best way to rid ourselves of this scourge.

Your previous point held more water than this line of reasoning.

It's all about the rule of law. One of the large reasons the Marxist in office is so detested is that all he is and all he has done flies in the face of the rule of law.

Your point about Thomas Jefferson is a sound one though. He was one of the founders and nobody made his natural born status an issue then, which sets a precedent that the founders considered him "natural born".

Socialism in American has been and continues to be implemented incrementally. Socialism is the necessary precursor to communism. There are three essential obstacles that must be overcome in order to implement socialism: elimination of private property rights, dissolving the family unit, and ridding America of Marx�s opiate of the masses: religion.

Without religion, the other two are easy to implement. John Locke indentified the right of private property as a natural right. Natural rights flow to us from God. Government has no power to strip anyone of any natural right, for they were given to us by God. Therefore, before we can become a totally socialist state in which we�re completely controlled by government, God has got to go.

Revisionists� propagate the lie that our Founding Fathers created a secular nation. This is an outright lie. Anyone can access primary source documents facilitating knowledge that our Founding Fathers created a Christian nation. Some of our Founding Fathers had gone so far as to predict the demise of their patrimony were our nation to be governed by other than believers in God. And it is the benevolence of Christians that allows others to practice any legitimate religion.

Here�s my point: since at least the 1940�s �even earlier- a forceful subculture within our country has strove to dupe gullible Americans that the First Amendment justifies governmental regulation of religious practices, a fear Jefferson said could never happen in America. His intent of separation of church and state was that religion must be protected from governmental regulation, not vice versa as revisionists� want us to believe. Madison believed that our country was created by the divine hand of God.

Regardless of who�s in power, Republicans or Democrats, we have and are becoming more socialistic. Socialism implicates a lack of freedom. Communism -dictatorial control- follows socialism.

We own nothing that the government does not allow us to own. Therefore, what we own is approved and regulated by the government and that includes our homes.

Think very carefully before this election; however, it might not matter. We might be too far gone for a reversal of years of incremental public policy changes that have facilitated socialism to take root and spawn.

We know Obama is at least a socialist. I think he�s a communist. That leaves the putative Republican nominee. If you believe Romney will restore freedom, yank a lever for him. However, I do not see it. In fact, Republicans have done nothing to impede socialism.

Don�t fall into the trap of a false dichotomy: Obama or Romney. Keep restoration of freedom at the forefront. Who or what is the best path to lead us back to the intent of our Founding Fathers?

New York and California are lost causes. In California, Republicans are greatly outnumbered, and many of the Republicans who reside here are neocons. Neocons will steal our freedoms just as surely as will Obama. In fact, Leo Strauss was as dangerous to freedom as was Marx. Obama will win New York and California�s electoral votes without having to campaign in either state.

If Obama does win, do not blame his victory on the �Paulbots� or other derisive and pejorative names Romney supporters choose to call those of us who want to eliminate socialism and restore freedom. For if Obama wins, it�ll be the result of intransient Romney supporters who are falling prey to the mainstream media created false dichotomy.

We are living in an unprecedented era. None of the medicine given to our ailing and possibly fatally diseased economy is working. Baby boomers and their consumerism led to a tremendous post-WWII economic boom. We do not have such demand. In fact, consumers aren�t consuming for fear of their jobs and because they were burned by consumer credit, not to mention tremendous hits they have taken to their home equity. So it could be that regardless of who�s elected, it won�t much matter. Our economy, which determines governmental action, might not survive.

Finally, don�t forget that under Bush 43, our country lost at least 6 million manufacturing jobs, which paid good salaries that accorded workers ability to live the American dream, and we closed at least 40,000 American factories, most of which reopened in China. And his Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, threatened us with martial law if congress didn�t pass TARP, which was really a bailout of Bush�s homeboys using taxpayers� money. Don�t think for a New York second that Bush didn�t put Paulson up to threaten us with martial law.

As I see it, if it remains between Obama and Romney, I couldn�t care less who wins. You see, I know that either way we�re going to become more enslaved.

No government is viable unless it can control its people. In our country, politicians use laws to control us. When was the last time anyone has heard of a neocon proposing eliminating any law???


R


And the greatest defender of natural right and natural law in the last century, was in fact Leo Strauss. Try reading "Natural Right and History" Raz. And among the greatest threats to natural law in the past two centuries are paleocons John Calhoun and Jefferson Davis, along with those on the far left to which they are allied. Raz, you're clueless.

Unless and until something is done to eliminate the unfunded mandates of Medicare and prescription drug benefits totaling nearly 100 trillion dollars, which is completely unsustainable, politicians on both sides of the aisle will do everything possible to keep a sinking ship afloat.


Take care,

Voting for moderates is not voting for real conservatives. But say their electable. LOL you get the [bleep] you vote for.
