I've left this country many times, on airplanes and on boats. Noboby questioned it. Hell, I even walked into Mexico a couple of times. Coming back I was ask which country I was a citizen of, but no proof was required. Just my claim of U.S. Citizenship.

Did you leave because you were actively protesting the actions of the government, and in the process had become the "nail that needs to be pounded down"?
Try leaving the US and going to Pakistan where you renounce the US while with people that Bush administration has declared a terrorist organization. Do you believe you can take a visible position in some dispute that does not call for any violation of US law, other than the prohibition of free association, petition, and speech that has been declared illegal by Congress and the Bush administration.
And don't think your disagreement with the government of the US can't be turned into a matter of national security and your protest actions deemed terrorism.
Just imagine a liberal landslide in November sweeping to power a bunch of liberals as arrogant as the Republicans from 1994 through 2004.... Your efforts to protest could be deemed terrorism, and by the force of intimidation, you can be accused of conspiracy to commit terrorism without physical evidence of any crime, and then if you flee the country and seek asylum, those liberals can seek your extradition, accusing the government you are seeking asylum with of harboring terrorists.
Of course, if you just fold up your tent and leave, then good riddance. ;-)
