On Missing The Cut...

...Of The Sword Of Truth

It would be laughable if it weren't so serious how the MSM spins every little thing about President Trump, in what he says or does, to his detriment.  It is so obvious that it is akin to an automatic response for them; you can count on it, and almost anticipate it to the letter.  ('Ah - this is what they are going to say about that.')  And yet, it is, shall we say, curious, how they can overlook other 'little things,' that they don't want to acknowledge.

Take the 'little matter' - apparently, to them - of the meaning of the term "a natural born citizen" in the Constitution, as as an eligibility requirement for the office of the president of the U.S.  (And that particular federal office only; signaling its special nature in the minds of the constitutional Framers.  A 'little matter' that I don't have to go into detail about here.)  The extant definition of the term, as much historical evidence attests to, at the time that it was codified in the Constitution as part of said eligibility requirement, is a person "born in the country, of parents who are citizens" thereof.  (Which is what makes it 'natural,' for heaven's sake.  No DUAL OR OTHERWISE CONFLICTING LOYALTIES OR ALLEGIANCES OR INFLUENCES.  Having SOLE ALLEGIANCE to the country of birth.)(1)  So, for example, the man who took to calling himself Barack Hussein Obama in life(2) was not eligible for the office of POTUS on that score.  This is not a 'birth certificate' issue, except as to how he posted a copy of what was represented as his birth certificate on the official White Houses website; thus making that 'statement', attesting to that 'truth'.  Swearing, in effect thereby, that Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was his birth father.  So, forget the magic-trick business of where he was born (which got successfully swept under the rug).  By his admission, he was, and is, not a 'natural born' citizen, for his birth father not having been a citizen of this country.

And here I am going to practice a little of that 'anticipation' jazz mentioned above, as to what the MSM is going to say (and other players in this Game) when this all comes up again.  As it will.  For, the Truth will out.  Listen to this spin:

'Oh well.  It's a done deal.  Precedence rules.'

That is to say, that the argument will be that the legalistic term of 'precedence' takes precedence over the literal truth of the matter.  In this case, the constitutional truth of the matter, that Obama was not eligible for the office of POTUS.(3)  Which action, if not checked, will result in the Constitution indeed becoming "just a damn piece of paper," as George W. Bush is reported as having characterized it.  (And thus, signaling the bipartisan 'take' on this matter.  And these sorts of matters.)

Ladies and gentlemen.  This universe is a universe of Laws.  Is run by Laws.  And if you can't learn that 'little' lesson - can't learn to live by laws - then you are not fit to continue on into the New World aborning.

And so will be left behind.  As the rest of us ascend the ladder of Progress, on our spiritual paths, up a notch or two.

If the former category fits you, and your take on such things: Sorry you didn't make the cut.

Better 'luck' next time.  But your failure will not hold the rest of 'the herd' back.  We are going to proceed.

With you.

Or without you.

Your choice.

(1) The definition comes from E.de Vattel's 'The Law of Nations'.  Book One, Ch. XIX, Sect. 212.  Look it up.  It's right here, on the Internet.
   This is not rocket science.  

(2) I don't need to get into that 'little detail' here.  One is enough.

(3) And that 'precedent' has already been applied, in effect, by the Republican Party, when it ran some of its own ineligible candidates for that office in the 2016 primary elections, in the forms of Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio (among other ineligible candidates as well, on the same basis).  And thus, the good reason to understand why the Republican Party didn't make an issue of Obama's ineligibility: they wanted to run their own ineligible candidates through that breach in the wall of the Constitution - to say, the rule of law in this country.
   Both of our current major political parties having discovered by then how difficult it would be to get a constitutional amendment going through Congress on that issue .  A subject that I have also covered in depth in these pages before; so no need to go into that 'little matter' in detail here, now.
