They had a business going in Calgary. That is pretty "resident".

Maybe there is something to that - Christian is Global, American isn't & possibly he feels that "Christian" better defines who he is. I don't find a lot wrong with that statement.
Walter - that last post you "red negged" was a question not a statement.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who spent much of January soaring to the top of the Republican pack, was absorbing hit after hit on Friday as his rivals for the Republican nomination tried to ensure that his path to victory in the Iowa caucuses next week was a difficult one.
Perhaps the most visible and unfavorable appraisal of Mr. Cruz’s recent stumbles here and his difficulties during the debate on Thursday was captured by The Des Moines Register, the state’s largest paper, which declared in bold on its front page: “Rough Night for Cruz.”
Mr. Cruz and eight of his rivals spent Friday in their final sprint around Iowa before voters here become the first in the country to render judgment in a presidential race that has defied convention, history and neat prediction.
Most of the contenders were taking aim at Mr. Cruz, who has sought to portray himself as the genuine conservative among a group of weak-principled politicians. Mr. Cruz found his own political persona under assault as his rivals accused him of conveniently shading his own positions, saying one thing before an audience of wealthy donors and then contradicting himself on the campaign trail.
If Cruz loses Iowa, can he win anywhere outside of Texas?
The fact is that the Trump attacks on Cruz being from Canada have hurt Cruz and helped trump. It doesn’t matter to voters whether it’s true. What matters is the guy on the attack is the ‘strong’ one
While Donald Trump and Ted Cruz fight it out for primacy in Iowa, the also-rans are desperately trying to remind voters of their existence, particularly evangelical voters
Mike Huckabee has decided he might be able to knock off Ted Cruz, who has slipped in the Iowa polls, by running a new ad claiming Cruz is a phony.
The ad, which is being aired by the pro-Huckabee super PAC Pursuing America’s Greatness depicts two women chatting prior to a group Bible study about the upcoming Iowa caucuses. The women are shown discussing recent leaked comments in which Cruz privately told donors he wouldn’t prioritize fighting same-sex marriage if he was elected; they also talk about Cruz’s reportedly meager record of charitable giving. […]
"He doesn't tithe?" one woman says in the ad. "A millionaire that brags about his faith all the time?"
"Just what we need—another phony," the second woman responds.
The ad ends with the first woman concluding, "Guess we've narrowed down our list. Can't caucus for Cruz," while her friends nods solemnly in agreement.

Yea Billy Bob Clinton made it all the way to become president of the good ole U.S. of A.
Is that scholarly enough for you ?
Bill Clinton was a Rhodes scholar. Far from being a redneck and a fairly decent economist when you study the facts. .
.He is also a rather more well rounded human being than a lot of the jerkwater hillbillies that cling to the GOP, these days. There is a vast difference between being a man of the world and the guy from the gas station on the corner.
Many Iowans are outraged over the campaign and have viewed this tactic as a privacy violation.
Cruz tries to shame Iowa voters by sending out mailers with their personal information.
Labeled in all capital letters, one side of the card reads, “ELECTION ALERT,” “VOTER VIOLATION,” “PUBLIC RECORD,” and “FURTHER ACTION NEEDED.”
On the other side, in red letters at the top, the mailer states, “VOTING VIOLATION.” The text then reads:
The Cruz campaign has confirmed that these mailers were theirs.
Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler confirmed to IJ Review that the mailer was theirs in a phone call Friday evening. He stated that the outreach was “very narrow, but the caucuses are important and we want people who haven’t voted before to vote.”
Red State also reported, “the Cruz campaign has confirmed these mailers are theirs and did send them out.”

There are scholars who say both. The better argument is that the Founders meant born here. Personally I agree with them, but I also think that notion is outdated, a relic of the time when the overwhelming majority of people never left their local area, much less their country.
You misunderstand the militia.
Possibly, but it's a dead certainty you do.
You also misunderstand the Second Amendment.
I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams that enlightened Philosophs like Jefferson, Franklin intended that 330,000,000 bozos should carry repeating weapons, just in case the guy next to them is, as well. The whole thing is so bizarrely cukoo but what is not is that they wanted to provide defences for their new Republic during the years before they had a professional army.
They didn't give a good gawd damn about anything but acquiring real estate and cash moron. Don't try and make them into anything other than what they were. Opportunists.
See, that's the difference. I don't form my opinions based on what I imagine and don't imagine. I read and study.
So the 330,00,000 bozos armed with repeating weapons is a good thing, is it?
