What is a “real American”?

Sorry I interrupted earlier; I thought this question was rhetorical and made a statement both unimpeachable and complete.

An imperfect question to be sure and we should be thankful that it never could be "perfected", but germane to any political discussion that takes place. But since America has been reduced to cults and seemingly everyone has placed themselves into one or another replete with the holy words it is probably a question left outside the Holy Citadel of Political Correctness. Myself I'm going to sit back and watch the cult of Israel attack the black liberation cult and have a good laugh as a "Real American." "Real Americans" are a people not an idea.

Maybe a Sovietologist could come out of retirement and compare the current crop of nothings to the last Soviet dicatators. " I've had similar thoughts with respect to our own dear leaders. That being said: I will under no circumstances vote for McCain. If Hillary is the Democratic candidate I will vote for Ron Paul. If Obama heads the ticket he will receive my vote. The illusion of a two party system is one of the most dangerous lies in American political life. I see no advantage in having an unrestrained media whore like McCain looking to score pander points for his "growth" and "statesmanship" while carrying the left's water. I want the blame to fall squarely where it belongs, on the race hustling blacks (et al.) and morally preening liberal elites. McCain just provides four more years of cover for the forces that seek to wreck my nation and my country and I'll not oblige them.

Maybe a Sovietologist could come out of retirement and compare the current crop of nothings to the last Soviet dicatators. McCain as Chernenko, Clintoon as Andropov and Obama as the Gorbachev mesiah figure. I hope I got the names right since all I really can remember of that era is the Burger King commercial "Soviet fashion show." If the doomers here would stop trying to finish the sentences of liberals, and learn to laugh at these clowns then maybe they could be of some use to real Americans.

Bowen, you hit it dead center! It's sad to watch the so many of the elders march off a cliff to their own destruction and doing so knowingly. Do they really think there's that much of a difference between McCain/Obama/Clinton? Bulls-eye C. Bowen, you hit it dead center!
