Remember when Superman decided to walk across the US, No? I think it was for charity or something. Still nothing? Well the nerds at DC found a better way to get Supes some mainstream media love. In Action Comics #900 Superman made clear his intentions to renounce his US citizenship. It all happened in a back up story written by current Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer. 
This scene was a result of Superman catching a bunch of flack from the state department for joining a peaceful pro-democracy demonstration in Iran. Guess what happened next? The internet exploded. Well it didn't explode right away. First the fine folks at comicsalliance ran a story about it, asking what the implications to his decision might be in both the comics world and the real world. Then this morning tons of major media outlets picked it up. The response has been birther-tastic.
Superman is dead to me now. This political correctness is making me sick.

How does this factor into his life as Clark Kent? Is he really so two-faced that he'll renounce it as Superman but still try to hold it as Kent? Sorry Supes, if you want to make this "grand" gesture, you have to abandon your rights as an American citizen as Kent. Which means you'll at the least be deported until such a time as a visa comes in for you.

Shame, shame, shame! The Founding Fathers gave their lives to create this Democratic Republic and a few generations later we are about to destroy it. I guess Americans do deserve what's coming.

That last one is my personal favorite. Although the guy screaming about Wonder Woman being a Lesbian has some good points. California does kinda suck and Wonder Woman would make a fantastic lesbian.

He doesn't call wonder woman a lesbian, he calls her a lesbean. Very different. One is a gender identity and the other is a delicious legume. I think it is french - a les bean - I'm sure they have them at Whole Foods. Probably for like $37/ lb. too.
