Comical Stupidity

Superman Renounces U.S. Citizenship in 'Action Comics' #900

I was going to comment on this, but I think our 26th president said it best;

I believe that a man must be a good patriot before he can be, and as the only possible way of being, a good citizen of the world... That the man who says that he does not care to be a citizen of one country, because he is a citizen of the world, is in very fact an exceedingly undesirable citizen of whatever corner of the world he happens to be in... If a man can view his own country and all other countries from the same level with tepid indifference, it is wise to distrust him, just as it is wise to distrust the man who can take the same dispassionate view of his wife and his mother.

Now this does not mean in the least that a man should not wish to do good outside of his native land. On the contrary, just as I think that a man who loves his family is more apt to be a good neighbor than a man who does not, so I think that the most useful member of the family of nations is normally a strongly patriotic nation.

Theodore Roosevelt April, 1910 Paris


I think also applies to our current (p)resident in chief
