Summations Only

Especially as any "communist" countries we've seen are really oligarchies ... and they have indeed failed.Most companies, especially the large multi-nationals, are also oligarchies.It is possible to have a democratically responsible capitalism, as we see this in democratic socialist countries with socially responsible capitalism that benefits the population.Enjoy.

Make it a condition for any non-profit organization or company: if you don't pay taxes then you don't mess with politics. Neither funding of campaigns nor lobbying of congress allowed.This would go a long way to solving the dark money ...Enjoy

No -- those people have their own personal voice and right to speech, giving corporations the same right means that the owners have two voices (as well as dollups of cash), in addition giving corporations those rights assumes that all workers for that corporation are also wanting to express that speech -- an obvious fallacy.Corporations are NOT people.

(1) personal spending on campaigns up to current limits(2) corporate spending on campaigns up to current limitsDouble the money, double the "voice" on the airwavesand those limits are the next item being attacked in the courtEnjoy

So we come to an off election year ... with people pseudocampaigning for 2016 while watching what happens in the house and senate.Governor Chris Cristie, the almost designated GOP candidate goes down in flames with corruption swirling around him.Anybody watching?

1. Bridgegate lane closure for spite
2. Strong arming for friends development in exchange for Sandy funds for Hoboken ...
3. Former Hunterdon County prosecutor Bennett Barlyn says the reason he was fired by the Christie administration was for pursuing a corruption case against Christie allies.
4. $6 million for Belleville Old Folks Complex --- with Sandy funds but Belleville had minor damage -- more than Hoboken.
5. A $4.8 million apartment complex in unaffected inland suburb New Brunswick -- more than Hoboken.

or Looks like 2016 will be the usual parade of clowns ...... and it looks like the cover-up is going to be what gets him.

and a supporter of CCristie ...One bully likes another eh?

Yes, and I love the coverage on Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC | Watch Rachel Maddow Live, PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton on MSNBC, All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC | The Chris Hayes Show and Up With David Gura ...

On a military base as I recall, which is considered US soil (same as diplomatic embassy grounds)

Looking at the broader picture of this fake issue (ie people other than Faith) I see:(1) Obama is Kenyan: this is code for being black, but you don't get called a racist for being prejudiced about kenyans ...(2) Obama is Muslim: this is also code for being black, but it is still "okay" in some parts of the US to be Islamophobic, so again you don't get called a racist ... just an intolerant idiot (something Christians seem to have perfected in the extreme sects).Just like socialist/communist/fascist/dictator is dog-whistle language for haters to hate before even considering the reality.Enjoy

This is in response to Ted Cruz running for president even though he was born in Canada of a Cuban immigrant and American mother.The parallel to Obama is hilarious, and even birther-in-chief Donald Trump has asked for Cruz's birth certificate ...The US Constitution says (article 2 section 1 paragraph 5):

quote:

---

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Next up we have Title 8 Chapter 12 Subchapter III Part I 1401

quote:

---

U.S. Code 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth

​

The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

​

4. a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the birth of such person, and the other of whom is a national, but not a citizen of the United States;

---

ie - "natural born" by virtue of being a citizen at birth (do not have to be "naturalized" to become a citizen), here by having at least one parent being a US citizen even if not born in the US.There is also a provision that you can't have allegiance to another country, and that is why Cruz recently revoked his Canadian citizenship.What this means is

1. that IF Cruz is a legitimate citizen to be president, as appears to be the case, THEN Obama most certainly was\is legitimate,⁽¹⁾
2. anyone who claims Obama isn't legitimate while not saying the same for Cruz is a hypocrite,

It will be most entertaining to watch the birthers that want Cruz but hate Obama twist on this issue.Enjoy
_________________
⁽¹⁾ so even if Obama was not a "natural born" citizen by virtue of being born IN the US (which he was), he still qualifies as a "natural born" citizen by virtue of having an American citizen parent (mother), and that makes him more qualified as a "natural born" citizen than Cruz ever will be ....Edited by RAZD, : footnote addedEdited by RAZD, : splngEdited by RAZD, : grama
