Ventura, miffed by court, says he's off to Mexico

Moments later, he vowed to apply for Mexican citizenship so he can live there more months of the year.

"I will never stand for a national anthem again. I will turn my back and I will raise a fist," he said.

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 might want to do some better research before steaming off to Mexico, Jesse.

Sadly, your attitude towards the United States as your homeland is swiftly spreading, as more Americans are becoming fed up beyond despair at the bottomless pit of fascism and socialism this country has become.

Sad that he feels more comfortable in a country that is imploding with corruption than he does here....

Used to listen to Jesse years before he fell off the deep end of the pool. He was just a radio talk show host then. Then he became Gov of Mn. and a liberal that liked Clinton as pres. I do thank him for his service to our great country, sadly he has missed the point of what is going on. He has lived in mexico way too long for any reality to still be bounching around between his ears. Turn your back on the National Anthem after you have taken an oath to the constitution. What a kook! Don`t let the door hit you in the back-side ventura!

============================================

On Larry King Live Tuesday, former Minnesota Gov. Jesse "The Body" Ventura talked about living "off the grid" in Baja California. Before telling King about the joys of living away from modern conveniences, Ventura had a word for King's CNN colleague Lou Dobbs, about his Mexican neighbors.
