What It Takes To Be A Citizen President.

       Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, by way of Canada, has announced his candidacy for President. He is the son of an Hispanic, non citizen father and an American mother. That makes him a natural born American. He is courting the most conservative of conservatives. You know, the folks who argues that Obama is not a citizen because he was born in Africa, even though he has a birth certificate that says he was born in Hawaii to an American mother and an African non-citizen father.
       So here's the question as I see it. Will the con-cons question his citizenship like they did Obama's, even though he actually was born in a foreign country, or will the con-cons overlook that fact because, after all, he's not black? Or will he lose their support and wind up with no support?
       Now I realize that his citizenship is unquestionable, just as Obama's citizenship is. But I believe this could be a conundrum for those purists, who are questionable in my mind anyway. Are they truly concerned with a man's pedigree or is it his level of citizenship as they profess? I put this question, because these con-cons claim to have no racism in their protestations against Obama.
       Now I think it's important to state my acceptance of Cruz's citizenship, because Donald Trump has questioned his citizenship. And if Trump questions anything, it convinces me the opposite is absolutely true.
       At any rate, the only reason to discuss Cruz's eligibility for the Presidency is that he's the first person to officially announce his candidacy for the 2016 elections. It's his moment in the sun so to speak. He's a born "also ran" if ever there was one. He fits comfortably into the Palin/Trump/Santorum category as someone who should never be taken seriously, except in Texas where nobody should be taken seriously but seem to be.
       It is my fervent hope that someone is nominated by the Republicans who is actually suited to the office of the President of the United States. Most potential contenders are not. The sad thing is that all contenders are forced to move so far to the right by the con-cons that they would have little chance to be elected by the voters in a general election. Money aside.
