From the new story.(LAT)

In the story, Superman decides to renounce his U.S. citizenship when the Secret Service tells him he should not have attended a nonviolent protest against the Iranian regime in Tehran.

Look, just be glad I didn’t go with a joke about his birth certificate from Krypton.

Ludicrous. Truly stupid. Not surprising, though. What the hell happened to Truth, Justice, and the American Way???

I’m so sick of anti-Americanism infecting (yes, infecting) every aspect of our society. How many kids are going to read this and have a little kernel of this insanity planted in their heads? “Well, Superman doesn’t even want to be American! We must really suck! Let’s be French – or Iranian!”

It’s a sad day for America. Shame on you, Action Comics.

It’s a sign of the times. America’s on going constant war and imperialism, the alienation that it caused in America
s real superhereos. The irony of the support of the destruction of the middle class by the middle class.

Im glad DC comics updated the superman story.

I’m glad his was a “good” invasion from the planet Krypton, what with the current spate of evil alien invasion themes in film and on t.v. Truth and justice transcend nationalism, as I recall. . . .

“Truth and justice transcend nationalism, as I recall . . .”
Where do you recall it from? What international orgnaization or group ever liberated an unfree people or protected their liberty, in any way comparable to the US armed forces?

A force more powerful thank kryptonite, proves to be the previously hard-left ideas (e.g., anti-Americanism) that now infect mainstream liberalism.
