You need to drive by the food banks that are turning people away these days because they just don't have enough to give everyone & wonder why those people look so desperate. Oh, why don't they have my life?
Oh, there are so many lazy, deadbeats in our country. They shouldn't have gotten sick, they shouldn't have lost their homes, they shouldn't be hungry, they shouldn't , they shouldn't, they shouldn't.
Why, I have the answers they should be just like me!
Very true (unfortunately). You pretty much nailed it though. Just add pasting various "patriotic" decals and stickers on one's car: "Real American Patriot", ribbons, etc. Of course, when the "real Americans" travel overseas, do not neglect to sew on the Canadian flag on your luggage as you don't want to let the foreigners know that you're a "real American" for fear of retribution.

Talking What does it mean to be a "real American?"

No, no no...

They have to be white Christian fundamentalists and strict social/economic conservatives. Everyone else in America is a poser, a socialist, or even worse, a stinkin' lib who wants to see America fail. Glen Beck told me so...

Does it not stand to reason that IF "All men are created equal", their cultures would also be equal?

LOL, the scary thing is that most Republicans don't see a difference in the two. To them, the only real Americans are white, conservative, Christians.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?

Someone asks what it means to be an American and all the lefty vitriol comes out doesn't it?

Saying you're an American didn't used to have to begin with an apology.

It wasn't that long ago when saying you're an American really meant something good.

But today, the left has destroyed that, steadily chipping away at American integrity.





Lefties have no backbone. And I would also venture to say that they're the example of what a "real American" is not.

That poster was NOT apologizing for for being American & was in fact, responding to my post.

So...in your opinion it's them there dam lefties! They don't have a backbone, etc, etc......waaaaa
Keep drinkin the kool-aid.

It's almost not worth the effort to even respond to those so narrow-minded they actually believe those with different political views other than there own are un American....sheesh
