When we cats feel up to spending some more time in their dark, twisted world, we will visit the right-wing maniacs over at Free Republic and see how they feel about Ted Cruz being a Canadian.
To a lot of us, of course, this is old news. We knew that the 21st-century version of Joe McCarthy hailed from Alberta. But what we're interested in is whether the Freeps see any problem with Cruz calling himself an American because his mom was and is a US citizen.
Because if they don't, then they'd have to admit that even if Barack Obama had been born in Kenya to Kansas native Ann Dunham, he'd be American, too.
Well, the Obama stuff is irrelevant, since every rational person on the planet knows he was born in Hawaii. But maybe the Freepers' heads are exploding anyway, which is kind of fun to think about.
There's still something that kind of bugs us, though: this affectation of Cruz's, alleging that he just found out about his dual citizenship. Who's buying that?
Does he really think we'd believe that after earning a JD from Harvard, running Morgan, Lewis & Bockius's Supreme Court litigation practice, and serving as a Deputy Attorney General and Solicitor General of Texas, he wouldn't know such a simple point of law? We cats HISS.
