And I guess since no 'Real Americans' come from places such as the Great Sodom of the NorthEast (a.k.a. New York City, N.Y.)... then, I guess all those Fire Fighters and Police Officers on September 11, 2001 were just a bunch of fake, anti-American big city Liberal terrorist enablers... huh?
...
My point is... WHO gets to decide who is a Real American... and who isn't? I know it's not me. I believe we're all Americans... big cities and small towns. Why must there always be these fabricated, artificial divides in our nation?

I totally agree. I think the main reason for the artificial divides is its a way to win (or in the Bachmnann case hopefully not win) elections, because of setting up an 'us vs. them' mentality with 'them' being 'other' and 'not like 'us' '. We all have differences, but continuing with my comments from page 1, it is American to be able to disagree and live together peacefully. (Loved your satirical post btw).

Rep. Michele Bachmann from the great state of Minnesota truly is somethin'.. yet another example of the McCain camp trying to divide this country further than it already is.

Just pandering to red necks..that's all. Don't take it personally......just hope your fellow thinking Americans see through this rubbish.

I guess by Palin's logic I'm not a real American either. It amazes me how divisive some of these people are. During a period of crisis where our government needs to work together and the people need to but aside our difference and focus on making sure that our government is doing what needs to be done for US, these politicians decide to further divide the nation. They are a fucking disgrace and have no place being in our government.

I love how all of New York is anti-American, except when Palin and company come to Ground Zero. I guess it's the little pro-America pocket of New York City, surrouded by enemies on all sides.

Us NYers are just enemies of the state.

Well, I wonder. Is all of New York City not the real America? Is New York State the real America? Does our fake Americanness infect places near us? Surely, Philadelphia's fake America, but what about further west? Is there a border line for fake America and real America, or do they gradually bleed into each other? If I move to Kansas, will I be real American then or does my fake Americanness just follow me around? And also, in New York City, do the firefighters of 9/11 have an America-clause, or do they get wrapped up in fake America, too?

So confusing, ugh. This was just so much easier when I thought I was actually American.

I like on The Daily Show last night when they asked a guy in a bar in Wasilla and he said that Wasilla was affected more than NYC after 9/11.

Speaking of that segment, and speaking as a community organizer, it sure was nice to hear about all the "responsibilities" the mayor of Wasilla had. I wonder why the mayor even agreed to do that, considering how badly it went.

The self-delusion the Palins of the world must have to commit to, when they talk about the "anti-American" parts of the country like New York City, and then in the next sentence talk about the "heroes of 9/11", it must cause severe mental problems to be able to really be capable of holding both those pieces of information in your head without a breakdown.
