"Real" Americans

[Hungary Jack]

WTF is this supposed to mean? Are "unreal" Americans the source of our problems? Are there "fake" Americans running around, spending more than they earn, trashing the environment, not paying attention to their children's schooling, leading unhealthy lifestyles, and destroying the moral fiber of this country? Do immigrants become "real" Americans once they learn to hate other immigrants? Do "real" Americans who move from the country to the city become "fake" Americans?

Has there ever been more meaningless crapola foisted upon the electorate?

See visibly angry thread.

Two things in one day, I really can't handle this.

Don't forget about the communist pinkos in northern Virginia that won't get McCain's message like the people in "real" Virginia.

the daily show had some great stuff on this on mondays show (10/20)...if i knew how to embed flash id do it.

i also hate the fact that if you \question or criticize america you are seen as unpatriotic, etc....maybe some people want to see the country do better than it is

++ Especially frustrating is the hatred towards those who don't divinize our military.

who knew that McCarthyism would be used as a campaign tactic? McCain using terms like socialism and extreme leftists. (so is Obama supposed to rebutt this by calling him a militaristic fascist) Its 1950 all over again.

Anyway, I watched a little Fox news and MSNBC tonight, it sounds like the "Socialists!" approach is not gaining them any traction, so they inferred that we'll probably be learning a little more about Rev Wright in the near future..

Hopefully after this election some healing can occur in this nation - should Obama win, I would like to see him appoint some GOP folk to prominent positions as Lincoln did with his opponents. Sounds like he's poised to do just that ( Lugar etc)

Why is socialism treated like such a bad word? Communism is bad. I heard Michael Savage say on the radio last week that socialism has killed over 100 million people this century. No. Communism has. Because communism, as various governments have instituted, has a love/hate relationship with socialism. They try to be socialist (extreme left), but have strong fascist tendencies (extreme right). Regardless, I don't see how Obama's version of socialism (if you really want to call it that) is going to lead to the deaths of anyone. Is Obama going to slaughter everyone making over $250k and give their estates to the poor?
