As a Liberal, which identifies to me someone who is willing to reflect and think beyond kneejerk reactionaries, why did Michelle Bachmann feel she had to renounce her dual citizenship from "I don't care where it was" but it happened to be in Western Europe? Could have been Kenya or Canada or Brazil or Russia. As a Liberal, I don't think she should have had to do that.
I lived for almost 50 years in Southern and Northern California and Hispanic surnames abound. But not dual citizenship. Sorry. And further while doing due diligence rather than just emoting, Arabs and many other wonderful people are Semites, as well. All of the above are of the caucasian race, not that it matters, but happens to be true.
