Dual Citizenship -- Loyal to Whom?
This is precisely why the
Constitution included Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the
Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.
So, in essence, those of dual or multiple citizenship status do have the
"Title" of citizenship from a
foreign State & should not be
allowed to also hold any US (or State) Office. For violation of the Constitution's terms & by legally-binding Oath of Office, such people should be
Impeached. The Founding Fathers realized the dangers to our nation from those having "divided loyalties" acting within the government, therefore
providing the Constitution with automatic disqualification.
It sems to me that, if Ron Paul does make it into the Oval Office, he'll have to beef up the Secret Service by a tenfold factor (at least) & work
very fast to "clean House"...And Senate, Judiciary...After all, in the entire history of civilization, those who try to
help the People
always wind up focused in sniper-scopes.
BTW, RabbitChaser...Which rabbit are you chasing? You wouldn't happen to have
Dave Rabbit in your sights, would you?

Same here.

...I am understanding he can still be a write in candidate.
And if you happen to be worried about the controversies surrounding the unreliability of the "paperless" voting method, simply request for an
Absentee Ballot...That way, you're vote
will be on paper. Although I can't guarantee that it'll still be counted, it will still prove what
your vote actually exists.

Perhaps, but I hate to think that I'd be stuck living in the same country as those brainwashed idiots...

Does he have any chance at all of winning? Seems everybody is focused on Hillary, Obama and McCain.
I've noticed that too...That the MSM purposefully collaborates with those three candidates, thereby "cutting out" any significant coverage on
anyone else. Hillary's already had to take out loans to cover about $20 Mill of debt on just her
campaign alone...It makes me wonder how bad
it'll get if she ever actually gets into Office!

Neoconservatism, whether you agree with it or not, is a completely legal political philosophy.
It's
not legal if it's practiced within the Constitutional Republic of America...Simply because of the Oaths of Office mentioned in the
Constitution itself. By
not maintaining a Republican form of government (as specified in Article 4, Section 4), they commit
Felony
Offense against the Supreme Law of the Land. Does it really take much brains to figure that out?

However in all good conscience, I cannot do so. The blame rests solely with the American public who are asleep at the wheel of their
nation...
True...As quoted from Thomas Jefferson, "The People...are the only sure reliance of the preservation of our liberty." However, we
can lay
blame for our government's pervasive practice of "non-disclosure" of what they've been doing.
Before the advent of public-access internet, the truth was much more easily hidden than it is now. The hardest work we have facing us is to educate
the public in the truth behind the lies so long held by the powers-that-be. The public education system has fallen far behind when it comes to
teaching the Constitution & what it stands for...And being the base-core of what this nation stands for, everyone has a right to know. Two websites
that I peruse frequently are dedicated to just that very same purpose:
We the People & the
Supreme Law Firm...There are others, but these are the sites that I find most informative.

Democracy only works so long as the counting of votes is fair, and the people are educated. However America has neither.
No, democracy never works...History has proven that. Democracy is basically
Mob Rule (read through the two-column
comparisons), where the one with the best PR firm becomes ruler.

Sure, that might be how he votes...but he sure is never shy with sticking things into bills, quite contrary to his voting stance, knowing they'll
pass even with his "no" vote. He's a hypocrite, and a shyster.
Where's your proof? Sources, sources. If you want the truth, his current track-record speaks his actions & his Sponsorship of
Resolutions (check under the "Current Legislation" entry under each seperate topic at the
site-link) currently in Congress speaks his devotion to the Constitution that he's sworn an Oath to uphold.

Unfortunately, there isn't a "None of the Above" so I'm writing-in and voting for "NO."
Actually, "No Confidence" would be the best wording for that kind of vote...But if you're going to bash Ron Paul for being the only candidate that
actually works
for his country, why not at least spend equal time bashing the other candidates for working only for
themselves, as
revealed by documented evidence?
So far, you've contributed nothing but insults & bile at everybody who's actually looked at the truth (which is in violation of the T&C's at
ATS).
