“Real America”?
Sarah Palin’s already produced a huge steaming pile of bullshit since she accepted the nomination, but this latest thing annoys the shit out of me. Ah, yes. Real America. Defined as any part of the United States not on either of the coasts, not near a major city, not emphatically liberal. Typical Republican shit, really. New York, for instance? Is never “Real America,” unless the GOP needs to use 9/11 to shore up some support for their more draconian terrorism properties.
I didn’t live in New York during 9/11, but this still pisses me off. And being characterized as a pinko commie because I live about a mile from the island of Manhattan pisses me off to.
That’s why I sent my own paragraph here: Are You A Real American? I’d like to encourage anyone else reading this to do the same thing.
(I’m pretty sure you can guess which one is me.)
