ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) — Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is so upset by the dismissal of his airport security lawsuit that he threatened Friday to apply for dual citizenship so he can spend more time in his beloved Mexico — or run for president of what he labeled "the Fascist States of America." Ventura, also a former wrestling star, sued the U.S. government in January, alleging that airport scans and pat-downs amounted to unreasonable search and seizure. A district judge threw out his lawsuit Thursday, ruling it should have been filed in a Circuit Court of Appeals. Ventura has said a titanium hip implanted in him in 2008 sets off metal detectors and that agents previously used hand-held wands to scan his body. He said he was subjected to a body pat-down after an airport metal detector went off last November. Ventura said he hasn't flown since and won't fly commercially again. Outside the federal courthouse in St. Paul, with a crew from his "Conspiracy Theory" cable TV show filming, Ventura said he hadn't decided whether to continue pressing his lawsuit. He said he wanted to make his case before a jury, not a panel of judges. Ventura, a political independent who served one term as governor, teased that he might have to run for president to change the policy and a court system he regards as broken. Moments later, he vowed to apply for Mexican citizenship so he can live there more months of the year. The former Navy SEAL said he had lost his patriotism. "I will never stand for a national anthem again. I will turn my back and I will raise a fist," he said.

You got it Jesse, and don't ever come back, ya hear? (and you may not if those cartels find out how much money you have!)
Buh Bye!
His TV show must have been cancelled.
Mexico probably won’t put up with him...
I’d gladly pay for that douche bag’s one way ticket to Mexico, heck send his ass to Venezuela but I think even they have their standards
So long!
ST. PAUL, Minnesota — So upset by the dismissal of his airport security lawsuit that he threatened Friday to apply for dual citizenship so he can spend more time in his beloved Mexico — or run for president of what he labeled “the Fascist States of America.”
“If that is what you have to say about America, then I say to you: “Good riddance to bad rubbish!” - America isn’t about you, Jesse. Never was and never will be. America is about “Ask not what your country can do for you, rather, ask what you can do for your country.”
I didn’t fly those planes into those buildings; in fact, I have dedicated my life to protecting America and the Free World against the guys who would kill each and every one of us, given half the chance. But I have to stand in line to get on planes, take my shoes off, dump my drink bottle and toothpaste and everything else along with all the rest of us. And I have had to do this even back when I was a green-suiter, and even now more than ever; security clearance, credentials and blue ID card notwithstanding.

You know what I say to that, Jessie? I say “Tough tittie, suck it up like the rest of us.” What, a big, bad man like you can’t handle being frisked in the name of national security? Is that all it takes for you to turn your back on your country? That’s pretty lame, if you ask me.
Remember what the bumper sticker used to say?
You can’t take the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen. This is the United States of America - it’s a free country and oh by the way this country made you rich and famous, you hypocrite. If you don’t like it here, the border’s that-a-way. You can take all your whiner 99%-er OWS friends with you, and don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
That’s right, I’m talking to YOU Big Boy. You got something to say to my face, Jesse, you can find me. You can start by clicking on the link, over there to the right. I ain’t some dumb reporter you can blow your horn in front of a bunch of cameras and microphones. And don’t think you’re anybody special; like you I defended this country. UNLIKE you I love my country and I don’t like seeing her disgraced. “

I thought he was not a SEAL.I believe he was a UDT swimmer, which predated SEALs.
Don’t let the door catch your ridiculous ponytail on the way out.
Sounds like Jesse is ready to become one of the OWS protestors. Maybe he could run for president of the fleabags. He could teach them some demolition tricks so they could blow up capitalism.
If you were serious, Mr. Ventura, you’d give up your American citizenship entirely.
one too many pile drivers i guess... 
The POS cannot leave too soon to suit me.
When you putting down my flag man you’re walking on the fighting side of me.
Get out, and stay out.
Not commenting on Jesse Ventura...
What I don’t understand is why the judge said it should have been filed in the Circuit Court of Appeals? Doesn’t a case have to go through the “regular” circuit court BEFORE it can go to an APPEALS court?
Wait a minnit, what happened to all the freeper ire over the gropedowns?
Ventura was only stymied on a technicality, one which sounds easy enough to fix. So why not file at the court they told him he should have filed at, before taking his marbles and going to Mexico?
I don’t think anyone in this picture is particularly well behaved.
