Dear National Review Friends, The Cruz Birthers Ted Cruz is an American citizen, and has been since birth (even though the son of an American mother was born in Canada). But over at Birthers.org, bipartisanship rules: The folks who made a career of attacking Barack Obama's citizenship say the freshman Texas Senator is ineligible to run for president. Our Eliana Johnson has the story – one you won't want to miss. Also today on NRO . . . Gay Marriage by Fiat? In his new column, Rich Lowry says supporters of gay marriage are "asking the Supreme Court to declare the traditional definition of marriage — and by extension everyone who adheres to it — irrational and bigoted. They want to short-circuit democratic deliberation via court ruling as great cultural ukase." It's a powerful piece. Please read it and share it with your friends. Can Cyprus Happen Here? Well, writes Thomas Sowell in his new column, we can always print dollars, while Cypress can't print euros. But there are "more sophisticated ways for governments to take what you have put aside for yourself and use it for whatever politicians feel like using it for." Again, please read and share. And may I suggest . . . Part Two of Jay Nordlinger's week-long series on SDI at 30. With the loons in a nuked-up North Korea aggressively testing long-range missiles, it's as relevant today as it was when the Gipper initiated the program in 1983.
