Obama, Cruz and the Birther Challenge; Revolution and Reversible Errors

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.
