    Your Town - REAL America or something else?
    Hello:

    I wonder if you live in the REAL America that the wrongwinger Palin is talking about. Or, do you hold ANTI-American views like the Democrats in congress do, according to congresswoman Bachman from Minn?

    Do these kind of sentiments unite us?? I don't think so... Looks to me, like they divide us even more...

    Yup, you Republicans are bad and wrong.

    I live in Philadelphia so I guess I am not part of the "Real America". Palin is right you know Big cities are not real America. Especially Philly nothing in this city that is real America. ;)

    You know when I was a kid I heard stories of some lady who ran an upholstery business around 1777 In Philadelphia. Allegedly she grabbed some Red white and blue fabric made them into stars and stripes put them together and they called it the American Flag, But those are just rumors. I can't believe that happened in a part of the Fake America.

    Hello again, spit:

    Did you know that 9/11 happened to FAKE America? It shouldn't have bothered REAL Americans too much. Hell, the only people who died were queers and elitists.

    And all this time I was upset that America was attacked on it's own soil. Thank Goodness for the "straight talk" from McCain/Palin.

    Hello again:

    What Does Anti-American Mean?

    CHRIS MATTHEWS: So you believe that Barack Obama may have anti-American views?

    BACHMANN: Absolutely. I'm very concerned he may have anti-American views. Also, in her Hardball appearance, Bachmann said, “The news media should do a penetrating exposé” into the “views of the people in Congress and find out if they're pro-America or anti-America.”

    ------------------

    I've often felt, in my more glib moment, that Bush and Cheney are "anti-American", because their policies have been so hurtful to this nation. But the more I consider it though, the more I know it's not true.

    They're Americans. If we are to live in a country that doesn't descend into fear and hatred, we must assume first that they love their country too. They may be bad actors, their behavior may be destructive, but that doesn't make them anti-American.

    I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the other side thinks I'm an enemy. That IS what an anti-American is, isn't it??

    Perhap he cloaks his language in a veil of ambiguity but he has revealed his disdain for middle America on a number of occasions.

    I think the cities are vital areas of America. However ,and unfortunately they have become laboratories in socialist experimentation.

    Hello again:

    News Flash!! After the election, UPS is changing its name to FPS, and announced that it will no longer deliver to Real America.

    I'm guessing Steve is going to have to substitute with jalapeño chilies.
