THE ISSUE: A new Superman comic in which the Man of Steel renounces his US citizenship.

***

Superman renounced his US citizenship (“The Un-American Way,” Editorial, April 29).

Meanwhile, Captain America, who punched out Adolf Hitler decades ago on his most famous comic-book cover, today refrains from punching out Osama bin Laden.

All the more reason for Americans to applaud real heroes: the men and women in the US armed forces.

Growing up, I was a big fan of Superman.

I bought hundreds of his comics, watched the TV show starring George Reeves and cried when I saw the headlines that proclaimed Superman’s death when Reeves died in 1959.

The news that my erstwhile hero is renouncing his citizenship officially ends any residual affection I still held for the thankless traitor.

Superman is now really dead to me.

Stop the presses!

Alert the media!

The unthinkable has happened: Superman renounced his American citizenship. Well, I’m not surprised by this development — but what does surprise me is how long it took for him to do so.

It’s no longer “hip” to be American. Nowadays, you have to be a “citizen of the world.”

Let me be the last to say: Truth, Justice and the American way.

Insidious progressives are determined to recast traditional American iconography in their own image.

They have even co-opted Superman, the Man of Steel.

With a morally relativistic worldview, feet of clay and a spine made of jelly, he’s now a perfect minion for the Obama State Department or the United Nations.

But all this tugging on Superman’s cape only exposes the fake centrism of left-leaning propagandists.

I wonder how the actual centrists in Smallville are taking this betrayal by their man who fell to Earth.
