Marco Rubio, and the Birth Certificate Issue

I will expect that our frequent commentor, Historian Dude, will state that Senator Marco Rubio meets the Constitutional eligibility requirements to serve this great Nation as a Vice President , and ultimately, as the Nation’s first President of Hispanic heritage. After all, the Historian Dude has argued that Barack Obama, born in Hawaii to a British subject, and thus having dual-citizenship, is entitled to be POTUS.

But from American Thinker, the Rubio eligibility is a bit muddied:

Marco Rubio is on most short lists for the Republican vice presidential nomination.  The principal objection many conservatives have is whether Rubio is constitutionally eligible.  How should we view this issue?  At the outset, we need to dispose of the idea that the Constitution contemplates political parties nominating candidates to run for president or vice president.  It does not.

In a discussion with the smarter part of the JAMES family, despite our support of Sen. Rubio, it was argued that though he was born here, his parents were not yet citizens (same applies to Gov. Jindal), and thus Rubio is not eligible to be President based on prior interpretations, and the application of Vittal’s Law of Nations. As a underscoring point to this, it was stated to JAMES that the Muslim cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, was born here in the United States to Yemeni parents attending school here. Do we want to say that he is eligible to be the POTUS?

So, as we clarify the Constitution for a balanced-budget amendment, and put the election of the Senators back into the hands of the State, should we also clarify the exact wording needed to fulfill the intent of our forefathers in prescribing that the POTUS be a natural-born citizen of this great country?

 

A Decade Later: Elian Gonzalez

He was the young boy whose mother risked everything to bring him out of the control of Fidel Castro, and somewhere in the escape, she lost her life. His father’s struggle to bring him back to Cuba caused months of debate.

 Attorney General Janet Reno, with present AG Eric Holder as her right-hand man, was criticized for the “guns drawn” manner in which he was taken from his Miami-family’s home. In the end, despite the ideology of Communism versus Freedom, he was reunited with his father, as he rightfully needed to be ( Brazil should have returned Sean Goldman to his father in the same manner recently, without the several year battle).

      Today, a decade after the international custody exchange, Elian Gonzalez, under the watchful idea of the Castro regime, is now 16, and an active member of Castro’s Union of Young Communists.

Who Will Lose Jobs First? Sign of things to come?

From an email I received:

Charles Payne, on FOXNews Business, just asked some EXPERT, “WHO will be losing the jobs the fastest??..

 

You would have thought that the answer would have been highlighted and discussed further.. but the group who is going to lose their jobs did not need to be “nudged” to hear the answer.

 

The EDUCATED and most smartest folks will lose their jobs first (in our 11% unemployment figures)…

 

This statement fits perfectly amidst every single dictator who ever took over any nation.

 

In China, it was called the “cultural revolution” where society became “UPSIDE DOWN”… teachers, wealthy folks, classical musicians, business owners were tied up like dogs, DRAGGED through the streets, tortured openly… BY THEIR OWN KIDS and all of the YOUTH in the society. (Wild Swans)…

 

Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, Iraq…. the same scenario each time… empowering the young and ignorant against the brains of the culture…

 

the youth always SIDING WITH THE “new”  RULER.

 

This will be a much more complicated process in America, since so many of us are educated in so many different ways… BUT IT IS A GOAL FOR OUR OPPRESSORS..

 

 

Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL) has Harsh Words for Obama regarding Cuba, Castro, and Chavez

Eric Holder Attorney General confirmation may be a “Bumpy Ride”

     From the moment that President Elect Barack Obama announced his appointment of Eric Holder to be Attorney General, there has been a flurry of dissent about the former Clinton appointee, and the controversies that have dogged him since the Clinton administration. As his confirmation hearings begin today before the Senate Judiciary Committee, his confirmation may not be off track completely, but the Republicans, and some Democrats, are not going to give Holder an easy ride through the process.

     Holder’s involvement in key problems in the Attorney General’s office during the Clinton era include:

• The controversial pardon of fugitive financier Mark Rich, and questionable contributions from Rich’s ex-wife.
• The pardons of the FLNA and some of the Weather Underground (the same group that Bill Ayers was involved with)
• the decision to seize 6-year old Cuban refugee Elian Gonzalez at gunpoint from his uncle’s Miami home to return him to his father in Cuba
• ties to embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich

     Judicial Watch has actively campaigned against the confirmation of Eric Holder, contacting the Senators, and taking out a full page advertisement to urge the same.

     In his opening remarks, Eric Holder used the story of Governor George Wallace’s refusal to permit Holder’s late sister-in-law admittance to college in Alabama during the civil rights movement, and then her actual admission to the University of Alabama. (If we are to rejoice in the election of Obama as a biracial President, is it not time that we cease using past history that will continue to create racial division). As the statements and the questioning has started, Holder has acknowledged some of his Clinton actions as possible mistakes, and he has also defined waterboarding as torture. (The Obama administration needs to tread lightly in that area, because our national security can be undermined with the utterance of a few misguided words).

      Sen. Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the committee, criticized both Holder and Sen. Leahy in his opening remarks, and basically guaranteed that this process was not going to be an easy one. Quipped one member of the Obama transition team “Hope you brought your dinner!!”
