Dear Canada: Ted Cruz is telling you to take a hike.
We cats hope that you're not feeling too bad. Although Mr. Nutcase is Alberta-born, he is renouncing you so he can run for President in 2016. Apparently he doesn't want to be associated with a sane, tolerant, climate-conscious and gay-marriage-friendly nation that quietly minds its own business. His loss!
It's laughable that Cruz thinks Americans would want him in the White House in the first place — but that's a topic for another post. In the meantime, we think it's pretty funny that the teabaggers and other whackjobs on the right consider Cruz eligible to be President at all. See, if the Canadian-born Cruz is American because his mom is from Delaware, even if Barack Obama was born in Kenya, which he wasn't, wouldn't he be American, too? (His mum was born in Kansas.)
Ah, well. There's no reasoning with these people. We just wonder whether they would have expressed their hatred for President Obama another way if Stanley Ann Dunham Obama had not died of cancer in 1995. We think she would have bitch-slapped the birthers to the moon and back — and we would have liked to have seen that.
As for Cruz, we'd tell our 33 million Canadian friends that we're sorry about the renunciation — but we suspect they're secretly relieved. Congratulations to them on losing a not-so-favorite son. And since we Americans appear to be stuck with this jackass, we cats HISS.
