and\u00a0Begin <\/strong>Tuning Out and Turning Off?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

To tune in or to tune out… that is the sixty four thousand dollar question.\u00a0 Actually it is\u00a0the $500,000 dollar question. Five hundred thousand dollars per minute is about what it cost to advertise during the Republican Presidential Debates.\u00a0It’s a race for the White House, but it’s also a race for the money. Just how many of these prime time debates will Americans actually watch before we decide who to vote for in 2016?… and\u00a0just how many of these gala media events will it take before we get so sick of\u00a0 politics\u00a0that we\u00a0start to tune out and turn off our television sets?\u00a0 I am already getting turned off by it all.<\/p>\n

If you are not counting, this was the fourth in a series of twelve planned Presidential Debates broadcast live on prime time television and streamed\u00a0over the internet all\u00a0across America. The cost to advertise on one of these gala media events is about\u00a0half a million dollars a minute. If you already know who you are going to vote for\u00a0in 2016 then you probably don’t need to watch any more of these\u00a0Presidential debates. They are just political fundraisers for the liberal media. They are\u00a0being hosted by the major television networks and\u00a0broadcast over the public airwaves in order to help them meet their annual budget and payroll expenses. I don’t want the liberal media to\u00a0succeed in America… I want them to fail, but they keep getting bailed out every time we have an election in America. There are eight more of these Presidential debates\u00a0scheduled for next year. Each one of them is expected to raise millions of dollars for their hosts. There\u00a0will be\u00a0one every month for the next eight months\u00a0until the two major political parties select their respective nominees for the General Election in 2016. By then\u00a0the networks will have\u00a0garnered\u00a0almost a billion dollars in advertising revenue from the\u00a0Presidential Debates\u00a0in order to fund their progressive propaganda machine.\u00a0Elections have become a\u00a0giant cash cow for\u00a0the commercial television networks and the Presidential Debates\u00a0are\u00a0right behind the Super Bowl in terms of the amount of money they generate for the\u00a0mainstream media.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is this. What matters\u00a0in politics as well as in broadcasting is always the bottom line. It doesn\u2019t really matter what any of the Presidential candidates say or don\u2019t say in the debates. It doesn\u2019t matter how good they look or sound on camera under the klieg lights or how many times they\u00a0keep repeating the same old\u00a0statements over and over again about what they did as the Governor of this State or what they accomplished as a member of that particular Congressional committee. Governors Kasich, Bush, and Christie take note !!<\/p>\n

Just about all of the Presidential candidates would say or do just about anything in order to win their Party\u2019s nomination. The only thing that really matters is what they\u00a0do after they are elected\u2026 and we won\u2019t really know that until\u00a0after they become\u00a0President, but then it is too late. That’s when we will\u00a0find out\u00a0if we were actually sold a\u00a0bill of goods or not. Candidates for political office always move to the left or right (depending on which Party they belong to) in the Primary\u00a0Election, but they always move back to the center in the General Election just as if they never had a compass or any real positions on any of the issues. That is the standard procedure for sailing through rough political waters and it is the route that all professional politicians take.\u00a0That is why we don\u2019t need any more professional politicians in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

One thing I can say about the current race in the Republican Party\u00a0is that neither Marco Rubio nor Ted Cruz are constitutionally eligible to be our next Commander in Chief. It doesn\u2019t matter what they say or do in any of the debates because they are not eligible to be President under Article II\u00a0 Section 1 of the Constitution which stipulates the requirements to be the President. One of these requirements is that the President\u00a0is a “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN”.\u00a0As far\u00a0as Ted\u00a0Cruz\u00a0and Marco Rubio are concerned… neither one of them is. One of them was born in a foreign country to a citizen of yet another country, and the other candidate was born to two foreign citizens right here in our own country. While both of these\u00a0young conservatives have since become American citizens as well as their parents nevertheless at the time of their birth that was not the case. The facts don\u2019t disqualify them from being Senators or even Supreme Court Justices, but they do cast serious doubt upon their eligibility to be the next President of the United States.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0 \u00a0Ted Cruz\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 or \u00a0Marco Rubio\u00a0<\/a> were to become our next President, their election would serve to legitimize everything that the current President has done in the past eight years, and because I don\u2019t want to see that happen I cannot support either Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz for President. Two wrongs don\u2019t make a right. If Barack Obama was not eligible to be our President because his father was not an American citizen then the same thing\u00a0holds true for Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you agree or disagree with their positions on the issues. You cannot apply a double standard. The United States Constitution didn\u2019t matter to Democrats in 2008 and 2012, but it should matter to Republicans in 2016.<\/p>\n

If our Nation is to remain safe and secure in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous while at the same time it is becoming increasingly interconnected then we must insist upon the strictest possible\u00a0understanding of what it means to be a Natural Born Citizen. We really don\u2019t have a choice if we want to provide a decent future for our children and our grandchildren.<\/p>\n

For everyone who wishes to believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim who was born in Kenya,\u00a0 we\u00a0don’t really\u00a0know that for a fact,\u00a0 but we do know that both his father and his grandfather were Muslims and they<\/u> were born in Kenya . Therefore it doesn\u2019t really matter whether Barack Obama was born in Nairobi or in Honolulu. Since his father was not an American citizen he is not eligible to be the 44th President of the United States. Everything that he has done in the last eight years has been completely illegal. It is as simple as that… By the same token we do know where Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were born and we know to whom they were born. They are not hiding the fact and we must not repeat the same mistake\u00a0that we did in 2008 and 2012 with Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n

We must codify into law the strictest possible definition of what it means to be a Natural Born Citizen. This means that in order to be the President of the United States you have to be born to two American parents and born on American soil. Nothing less than that will suffice to keep America\u00a0safe. We must insist upon this definition before we really do wind up with an Islamist in the White House, and not just an Islamophile who circumvents the Constitution, bypasses Congress, and makes thousands of executive orders\u00a0while he is\u00a0in complete control of\u00a0America’s\u00a0foreign policy.<\/p>\n

The controversy over what it means to be a Natural Born Citizen in Article II Section of the Constitution is\u00a0as old as our country and it is time to put an end to this controversy. The problem is not\u00a0Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio. It is not about their patriotism or their loyalty. It is not about their conservative credentials or\u00a0their lack of conservative credentials. It is about\u00a0establishing a dangerous precedent that will put our nation in serious jeopardy.<\/p>\n

Did you know that Queen Noor of Jordan<\/a> was born in Washington D.C. Her father was a Syrian\u00a0immigrant and her mother was a Swedish American. She moved to the Middle East in the\u00a0late 1970s\u00a0and married King Hussein of Jordan where she bore him four children. By any limited understanding of what it means to be a Natural Born Citizen any one of her four Muslim\u00a0children could become the President of the United States one day. Think about that for a minute<\/p>\n

There are a lot of issues that are important in deciding the result of the next Presidential election. Illegal immigration, foreign policy, the Federal Debt, and campaign finance reform are all very important, but there is no issue that is more important than taking our country back from the political ruling class and the professional politicians that are ruining it. We must end the Establishment monopoly of our government. We must send the Establishment a strong message that they understand, and in order to do that we need to elect a complete Washington outsider to be\u00a0our next President.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need any more professional politicians in Washington. We don\u2019t need another Bush or another Clinton in the White House. We must not elect another President who is constitutionally ineligible to be\u00a0our next Commander in Chief because that would\u00a0just further establish the dangerous precedent set by Barack Obama, and we cannot afford to elect America\u2019s first socialist President.\u00a0 That is for sure. That leaves only four possible candidates to chose from. It is sometimes said that there are only two major political parties in America. One of them is the Republicans and the Democrats. That being said the four possible candidates for President in 2016 are\u2026 Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, and Donald Trump. \u00a0All of the others either don\u2019t have a chance of wining or they aren\u2019t worth a dime.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Donald Trump actually does have a chance of winning and he is worth a lot more than a dime. He doesn’t have to raise any money to\u00a0finance his campaign\u00a0so if he wins he won’t owe anybody a thing. I am supporting Donald Trump for President and I want my country back. I don\u2019t need to hear any more debates. I know who I am going to vote for and it doesn\u2019t matter if he isn\u2019t the brightest bulb in the\u00a0political landscape. He is always the most brilliant success on the stage wherever he\u00a0goes and his record as a successful businessman and negotiator far outshines the Harvard debating skills and witty rhetoric of anyone else in the debate. The most important thing is not that the next President is the brightest bulb in\u00a0Washington. He can hire people who are smarter than he is, but rather that the bulb always remains plugged into the right socket and\u00a0he always remembers where\u00a0he gets his power from\u2026 We the People. \u00a0Go Trump!<\/p>\n
