"Pro-America?" Sarah Palin Thinks All People From Cities are Anti-American

Once again Sarah Palin opened her mouth and something stupid came out:

"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,"

What can I say other than, you will never be more pro-American than me Sarah and I would never vote for you. You're the one that has done questionable things while being an elected official, a position that people in America trusted that you would perform ethically in. Unfortunately your idea of "pro-America" equates to those people that want to have you elected which is a minority of the country. Your ideas are radical, you clearly don't have any tolerance for people that don't think like you and you have not performed very well throughout your political career. All things that I think are not pro-American.

America was actually founded on immigrants, otherwise know as including others, which apparently most conservatives can't seem to remember. How many of their families came from Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Now because a new generation wants to make their way to America from places where people don't look like us, we don't want to let them in our country. Let's cut through all of the "they're taking our jobs" garbage and boil it down to what it mostly is - prejudice.

Then we have all of the educated and upward moving folks in cities that understand this. The people that you are implying are not "pro-American." I'm sorry I have a good job and an education and can see through crap being slung by the republican party this election. I'm sorry I know that a lot of people will be severely more at risk with a John McCain health care plan. I'm sorry if I see that the so called "war" in Iraq and Afghanistan can't be won by our brave soldiers because it is now a war of ideologies without true objectives from the top. I'm sorry if I happen to think that the wealthiest in America should pay proportionately more in taxes than the poorest people. But you know what? None of these things make me "anti-American" We are all Allowed under the American constitution to say and speak what we feel, a principle that makes this country what it is. Just because I don't agree with you does not mean that I do not love my country.

My love for my country will be expressed in my vote this November when I vote for Barack Obama.
