"Representative Michele Bachmann becomes a Swiss citizen"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18011296

No impropriety or transgression involved, of course. But, any raised eyebrows?

It's a non-issue, but can you imagine the screaching if a liberal politician did this? We'd be hearing, "if you want to be a foreign citizen, then why are you still here?," and the liberal would be pegged as "anti-American."

Apparently, she's now renounced her Swiss citizenship.

What a sad state of affairs that dual citizenship is somehow seen as some sort of disloyalty.

Switzerland provides universal healthcare, a policy that Mrs Bachmann has strongly opposed.


... as though it's some sort of bad thing to be a citizen of a country one of whose laws you don't think is a good idea.

Well, historically they've done things like give out our nuclear technology to the country they are truly loyal to.

With respect to Switzerland and political figures, there is enormous opportunity for abuse especially in the current climate with blatant corruption and incompetence in American and international finance

Yes, imagine the terrors if the Swiss combine their knife technology with nuclear weapons...

Maybe she just wants a safe place for her family to flee to when our economy collapses and we all start eating each other.

If so she's gotten too soft to be American. She probably should go to Europe but revoke her American citizenship when she does.

That's because you're an imperialistic British arsonist who clubs baby seals and kicks around snow monkeys and ice beaners for fun:

When Obama gives the 16 million illegal aliens amnesty should they denounce their country of origin or have dual citizenship ? For example, Mexico and the U.S.
