Professor Chaos is a Traitor (on dual citizenship)

Professor Leopold Stotch has jumped the shark and claimed Irish citizenship as is his right. After calling him a traitor, he responded to me by saying that if the U.S. and Ireland ever got into a war that he'd be the first to volunteer to push the button turning Belfast into 'The Forbidden Zone' of any number of Mad Max films.

Although I don't doubt his loyalty, I say it again: traitor. Or, if not a traitor, something really really icky.

One of the main problems with mass-immigration is that it leads to mixed loyalty. Soccer games between the U.S. and Mexico bring crowds of Mexican immigrants who root for Mexico. That's just a little example of the mixed loyalty of immigrants who fail to assimilate fully. In the conflict between the I.R.A. (allied with the Soviets) and the Brits (allied with us), pro-republican sentiments were often expressed by Irish-Americans who backed their sentiments up with aid to the terror organization.

So, how can having dual citizenship ever be a good thing?

1 Because there's a seekrit clause that give's people holding both US & Irish Citizenships access to all the free Cheezy Poofs they could want. Well that and if you don't mind the hairy legs and stench of body odor being able to say you're a citizen of any country, especially one with people one with terrorist ties, works really well on hippy chics. Maybe he's going deep undercover? To boldly go where no man has gone before...

2 When the ethnicity in question is entirely symbolic, there is no problem. When it's the primary identity, then it implies disloyalty. You should know this -- didn't you read my dissertation?

3 There is nothing symbolic in the dream that is Guinness.

4 Having dual citizenship is an advantage - to the dual Visa holder. Rusty, you write "pro-republican sentiments were often expressed by Irish-Americans who backed their sentiments up with aid to the terror organization." Yet IRA support in Boston, San Francisco and other burroughs lives on.

5 Ok, Rusty: how do you feel about the dual loyalty of the J-O-O's?

6 Who are the J-O-O's? Is that like rascist or something?

7 Why would you nuke the Queens territory (Belfast is in Northern Ireland, if you didn't notice) when in war with Ireland? I'd figure attacking your last ally, the English, in a war against white people would be a terrible political move, leading to destruction of the northern hemisphere in a nuclear winter.
