Thus it is clear Obama is not an American.
American culture is not monolithic.
Are you familiar with all its infinite variations?
My guess would be no.

They are not connected to the 48 they have some of their own indigenous people who don't consider themselves Americans who rather be independent of the U.S. some of them love US some of them don't.

Indonesia is a Muslim country and culture and we don't chop peoples heads off here because people change their religious affiliations.

American Samoa,Guam,Puerto Rico are dependent on US but probably not wanting statehood but I know these very people served the flag of the United States thus received Citizenship.

I would agree. Obama having been raised much of his life outside the U.S. I also don't believe he shares traditional American values.
So what do you believe are traditional American values.

Traditional American values in my book are multiculturalism, the rich paying their fair share in taxes, a strong public school system and industrialism. From my point of view it seems most Republicans don’t share traditional American values...

Oh, so anyone who disagrees with you isn't an American? I'll bet that would include the majority of Americans. You know what? People with your values already tried to secede from the Union once. It didn't work out. But I'll give you a little tip: a lot of the people who were unhappy with the "regime change" in South Africa moved to Russia. You might consider following suit.

Default Republican Congressman, Says Obama Is 'Not An American

Old Gringo says Republican congressman is not a moron.

He doesn't qualify.

Moron is a term once used in psychology to denote mild mental retardation

He did NOT say better American, he simply indicates his dissatisfaction with the actions of the country's elected leader. Which would lead me to form the opinion that YOU are satisfied with the actions of our Dear Leader.

So be it. We can agree to disagree. At least until or unless proven results of November change things.
How do you know what's in that congressman’s heart is discontent from actions and not prejudice? Did you get his attention with the Republican foot tap in a bathroom stall and convince him to pour his heart out to you… I don't think so...

A teabagger is a deragatory term for homosexual men so why does the left continue to call the "teapartiers" that term if not to demonize them?
