Pro-America? Oh please.

Quote from Sarah Palin, visiting Greensboro, NC:

'"We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in the wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation," she said.'

Yeah, that miffs me, too. I'm not so sure the pro-America jibe is so new, it's just so blatant.

[carencey77]

yeah, you're right there. it's been around, but hasn't really crept out of the Ann Coulter cave into broad daylight.

[weaktwos]

How will Coulter go down in history? Will she be forgotten? Or will there be a biography written called "A Woman for All Treasons"?

[pseudohistorian]

I'm on the side of "forgotten." She has about the same level of historical significance as Howard Stern.

Wow that sounds like our politicians who said that a good/ decent/ proper Bavarian votes Conservative.

Good thing, I'm a Firefly/ Serenity fan and say: Let's be bad! ;)

What annoys me about Obama is his "let's change America, let's change the world" speech. Excuse me? You're not a candidate to become world leader. I don't take orders from US presidents. *growls*

[carencey77]

ha, that might just be universal! (realized my first phrasing of that was totally an oxymoron. heh.)

the other side of that though, is that we are always seeing opinion pieces from outside the US basically saying that Americans should vote for President based on what's best for the rest of the world rather than what's best for us. to which pretty much all of us have to reply, "forget that, you don't get to vote!"

[maja_carlisle]

Really? I've never heard anyone ever say that.

But the satire is so delicious! How great was this?

Reporter: At a rally in North Carolina this week, you said that you like to visit the "pro-America parts of the country". Are there parts of the country that you consider un-American?

Tina Fey: You know, that was just my lame attempt at a joke. But, um, yes -- New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware and California. [ she gives a thumbs-down ] But, then, also, too, you have states like Ohio and Pennsylvania and Florida, which could be real real anti-American or real real pro-American. It's up to them. [ she winks ] And now, I'd like to entertain everybody with some fancy pageant walkin'.
