Birthright Citizenship Illegal in U.S.A.

___Many people by deceit or ignorance state that any child born in the United States is automatically a citizen of the United States. This was “birthright citizenship” in 17th century England. The United States Constitution 14th Amendment places two requirements for citizenship: 1) born or naturalized in the United States; 2) subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

___If the wife of a foreign diplomat who has diplomatic immunity gives birth in the United States, then the baby is not a citizen. We can also tell that a mother who enters the United States illegally is not “ subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” I believe that the same is true for the unborn child, but suppose we do not know until the child is born. If the child ever commits a crime, then the child should be stripped of citizenship along with punishment for the crime. If the child shows allegiance to another country – by waving that flag – then the child should be stripped of citizenship.

___Common sense fails many judges when they consider the words of the Constitution. In 1857 the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decided in Dred Scott that no black of African descent could be a citizen of the United States. The Congress corrected this horrendous decision with the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The peoples' House is where such issues should be debated and settled. The problem is that laws are not being enforced. We no longer have rule of law. We are ruled by bureaucrats and judges who ignore the law or refuse to enforce it.

Welcome to Shariah Law!

___The Orlando shooting was predictable – if you acknowledge that most terrorists are Islamists. Under Shariah law, homosexuality is a capital crime. So is being an infidel, but you are given the “opportunity” to convert before you are beheaded.

___The idea of gun control as a solution is akin to airplane control as a solution to 9/11. AG Holder gave thousands of weapons to criminals. If they can't buy them on the black market, then the Obama folks give them out – without a backgound check!

___ISIS wants to re-establish the caliphate (Ottoman Empire) which existed from 1299 to 1924. Britain and France divided up the Middle East after WWI with little understanding of ethnic differences like Sunni and Shi'ia. Terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are treated like political parties. Israel is encouraged to “make peace” with these groups sworn to destroy them.

___It was easier to declare that we are “at war with terror” in 2001. The massive loss on 9/11 was horrifying – as was the loss in Boston, San Bernadino, Orlando, etc. Our representatives in Congress should formally declare war on terrorists everywhere who threaten the United States. The last time that war was declared was 75 years ago in 1941. Many Americans have lost their lives in “political excursions” since then – over 58,000 in my generation!

It's Called Hyperbole and It's Intentional Exaggeration to Mislead

___The current "they are trying to draft our daughters and girlfriends" argument reminds me of Gore's "the Arctic ice is melting; polar bears will die; and Miami will be under 20 feet of water." This is intentional exaggeration calculated to mislead. There is no draft, and Congress would have to act to reinstate it. Miss USA says that women can perform as well in combat as men. I am sure that she is talking about Ziva David of NCIS instead of June Cleaver of Leave It To Beaver! Gore was right that some ice melted due to summer sun and some polar bears died. There has been an increase in polar bears, and the streets of Miami are still dry - except when it rains.

___People who communicate should avoid false generalizations and intentional exaggerations. I am amazed at the apparent ignorance of English by the media - particularly using adjectives when adverbs are required and the use of can and may. You wonder whether they are deceitful or just ignorant.

How Obama Breaks the Law

___The peoples' elected representatives in the House determine a need and pass a law appropriating funds to meet the need. The Executive spends the money as the law specifies.

___Last week, the Senate passed legislation to address and prevent the spread of the Zika virus. However, the Senate failed to pay for it, and instead approved a $1.1 billion “emergency”* spending supplemental bill that is not subject to the budgetary caps that were agreed to last year.

___Obama took $500M for Zika to Finance UN’s Green Climate Fund. This is illegal and follows the pattern used since taking office in January 2009.

* In a population of over 323 million, less than 1000 have been affected - mostly by sexual contact since mosquitoes are well-controlled.

Littered With a Kroger EBT Receipt

A low-life litterer left an Kroger EBT receipt on my walkway:

Corky's BBQ $13.49

OGCK LYR CKE $2.50

OGCK SHORTCKE $2.50

Diet Coke $4.99

DR PEPPER $4.99

Total $28.47

Isn't it a shame that our government takes taxpayer money and gives it to such profligate shoppers?! Cake and shortcake with Diet Coke? Carbonated beverages instead of water? Prepared food so they don't have to cook? The D.C. political cartel has their vote!

The 2016 Election is Critical to Our Republic

___Ted Cruz was my favorite for President of the United States, but the people have spoken. Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee.

___What I would like to see now is whether he will surround himself with limited government advisors. I would support Newt Gingrich as the VP nominee, UN Ambassador John Bolton as Secretary of State, Dr Ben Carson as Secretary of HHS, Gov Chris Christie as Attorney General and Rudi Juliani as head of Homeland Security. Ted Cruz would be an excellent replacement for Scalia at SCotUS!

___Conservatives must vote. Opting out of this election is not an option. Bill Clinton won the 1992 election with a minority because of a third-party candidate, and Obama won in 2012 because 26 million evangelicals stayed home. We also need to elect constitutional conservatives at all levels of government and reinstate the rule of law in America.
