Actually George Washington was a traitor to his own country and his rightful sovereign the British crown. He did not at the time have American citizenship to give up as you say. He was a British citizen for life mind you at the time one could not give up citizenship to the sovereign and then had the audacity to turn traitor on the crown and raised arms against, and kill his own countries men in uniform all of those were hangable offences. Just because he won was the only reason he was not captured rightfully tried and convected as the traitor to his country he was. But that is the thing with revolutions the victors decide who is a traitor and who is patriot, as with all conflicts the victorious party decides what is "right" and what will be recorded in the history books.

The Brazilian guy is no GW he is just some guy that got lucky enough to get a upstart out of a tech incubator and into the market. He was not born a citizen he acquired it via nationalization he has every right to give up his second citizenship should it best suit his personal needs.

Every person on earth has the natural right to freedom of movement to suit their personal needs that right is given by God. If another country has a place for that person to legally reside and they want to leave us behind that is their God given right. Are all the millions of people who immigrated here in the 18th and 19th centuries traitors to their home countries for moving here and getting American citizenship most countries require you to renounce your current passport to take an American one.

Your argument is a fallacy that Eduardo is some kind of scum he is using his God given right to movement, he owes us nothing other than the taxes he has already legally paid while a citizen here once he leaves go with God sir but never ask the USA to come rescue you should your new home go tyrannical.

I said that Washington never renounced his American citizenship, not that he held it before it even existed.

The guy had the right to movement, he is scum for renouncing his American citizenship.

Man, I would never have predicted this anti-Americanism a few years ago.

And yes, I do have a double standard when it comes to America, it is my old fashioned patriotism and nationalism, which seems dead among some. I do not compare someone renouncing North Korean citizenship for American as a traitor, like the scum who renounces American citizenship.
