(17,748 posts)Arguing with a teabagger or a libertarian, if they aren't the same thing, is like arguing with a religious fanatic. If you point out a possible solution to a problem, they don't analyze the idea from a fact-based point of view, it's always, "I can't support that because I believe such and such."
Ideologues never can see that they're belief is a failure, no matter how bad things get. They say that we just haven't followed their belief strictly enough. Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. don't discuss facts, or if they do, they make them up to suit the narrative. Facts are the bane of the ideologue.

(4,396 posts)The us government makes it very hard. And expensive. Lots of forms and perhaps penalties and possibly never being able to enter the usa again. Some members in congress want to label renouncers as traitors.
You all can do the research.

(17,748 posts)People who do shit like that are just trying to prove some point. It isn't like it costs anything to be a citizen of Canada; what's the big deal? Cruz is actually delusional enough to believe he might reside in the White House one day, so he thinks he should make an effort to prove where his allegiances lie. If Canada was an enemy of the U.S., I might see the point, but it's just a trivial thing to be concerned about under the circumstances.

(30,058 posts)Was born in Canada and surely the attorney part of him should have been able to put together the fact he would be a citizen of Canada but looks like the sensible part of me was wrong. This is proof positive he talks out of his a$$ because his mouth knows better.

Why does Teddy Cruz hate the Bible?
Esau's tale O' woe beginneth with the reNUNciation of his birthright. Pay attention here APOSTATE Republicons.
