Presidential candidate Barrack Obama encountered
heavy political resistance by opponents claiming young Barrack was foreign
born. So far Senator and possible Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz
has experienced the phenomena. A birther movement hasn't yet surfaced to
challenge his foreign birth (product du Canada). Ted Cruz was born in Canada
and hence is technically most likely a British subject (in the fine print
Canada didn't sever all relationship to the British Empire). If elected
President Ted Cruz would be the first British subject President leading the
United States since King George III (not a brother of George W. or H.W. Bush)
and the British colonial status ended.
The American Revolution against foreign princes
and powers embodied in the form of the British Empire in particular developed a
constitution that excluded non-native born citizens from serving as President.
That was just a practical matter to prevent America from lapsing back into
colonial status. With Wall Street quite global, and Barrack Obama's father born
in a British colony (Kenya) it is possible that America already has its first
British subject President after the colonial revolution occurred even if Barrack
Obama was born in Jakarta and provided with a Hawaiian birth certificate. If he
is a native Hawaiian then at least he is native born although possibly a
British subject.
Senator Cruz could go into the Canadian embassy in
Washington D.C. to denounce his Canadian citizenship in front of the Canadian
Ambassador then step outside and burn his Canadian Maple Leaf diaper yet he
would still remain foreign born. That initial foot in the door of attack upon
the native born requirement can be first significant crack in the hull of
national sovereignty. The boundaries and borders issues are the foundation of a
free society with citizens not subject to foreign powers. Political
self-determination only occurs with real territorial sovereignty and rulers
from the same polity as oneself.
Reversing the principles of the Constitution a
little bit at a time has been a developing trend one since the end of the cold
was. The left is too happy to denounce nationalism and secure borders. Yet the
founding revolutionaries were all about boundaries and sovereign borders issues
and paid with blood to secure the rights and privileges too may Americans are
ready to relinquish. Never let it be said that any cat is spoilt, never spit
into the wind nor fail to defend one's borders and economic sovereignty so far
as possible.
Wall Street's globalism and the outsourcing of
jobs have made concentrating wealth more interesting than improving the well
being of the U.S. economy for all citizens in this generation. The trend has
been for long-term downgrading of the earnings and employment prospects for a
generation or two while the influential find better investments abroad.
America's poor and middle class haven't been well served by their political
leaders. Putting a foreign-born President in office and one that is even a
British subject would be a sort of cherry on top to those globalists more
allegiant to a Plutocracy than the United States.
Senator Cruz may be able to learn enough advanced
economic theory given enough time and investment of effort to understand
something of why the economy and environment is all f'd up and getting worse
for so many Americans off Wall Street. I wish the Senator well in the effort. Participation
in civic affairs is a good thing.
The Republican Party ought not follow up on the
Democrat Party's selection of a candidate of dubious national origin with one
of their own confirmed and immeasurably worse. It is important to defend the
principal of the healthy forest and not lose track for the trees. Making the
American Revolution a reversible error corrected by electing the foreign born
and or subjects of her majesty the Queen to the highest office is just not the
way things are supposed to be. The Republic has attacks and erosion from a
world of political and economic avenues that sap the will of the people of the
United States to be free and prosperous. The propaganda in support of their own
worst interests is relentless. They may be persuaded by degrees to give up
their special status and become ruled by oppressive foreign or domestic elites
making them just another collection of numbers amidst a planetful of proles.
