Pro-American – now Palin gets to decide where and who is pro-American – amazing for someone who has close connections to an Alaskan Secessionist group – the AIP, who recently addressed their convention. It’s more than gall – it’s crossing the line.
It seems she has gotten used to labeling Obama as not being pro-American that she felt comfortable enough to divide the country – into pro-and not so pro-American sections. This is not the words of a uniter.
It’s not clear if rankings exist, but North Carolina would apparently rate high in the estimation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. John McCain’s running mate declared her appreciation for the Tar Heel State’s “Pro-America” bent Thursday night during a fundraiser in Greensboro.
- “We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America,” Ms. Palin said, according to a pool report. “Being here with all of you hard-working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation. This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans.”
Ms. Palin’s remarks drew applause for the 500-or-so at the fundraiser, which raised $800,000 for the Republican Party. But some outside North Carolina were left wondering, including a certain Democratic presidential campaign based in Chicago, Ill.
“Just asking,” said Senator Barack Obama’s spokesman Bill Burton in an e-mail to reporters. “What part of the country isn’t pro-America?”
Ms. Palin’s spokesman, Tracey Schmitt, clarified thus: “Governor Palin was reinforcing her message that the best of America can be seen all over the country and isn’t limited to any particular geographic region.”
Update:
- Later on, Governor Palin came back to talk to reporters on the plane and was asked what she meant by pro-America: “Every area, every area across this great country where we’re stopping and where also the other ticket is stopping and getting to speak at these rallies and speak with the good Americans, it’s all pro-America. I was just reinforcing the fact that there, where I was, there’s good patriotic people there in these rallies, so excited about positive change and reform of government that’s coming that they are so appreciative of hearing our message, hearing our plan. Not, not any one area of America is more pro-America patriotically than others.”

What is Pro American? Workers. Tax payers. People who are trying to raise their children to do what is honest, good and true. Just folks. Folks who go to work every day to fund the pork and slush the Feds feed on when they take money without even saying thank you anymore. We who produce the slop that is poured into the national trough on a daily basis to be consumed by the lazy. The stupid. The morons who don’t even try to better themselves, but, instead sit around with their finger in their ass waiting on their next check. Those of us who don’t mind paying the way for the ones who “cannot” but are pissed off, sick and tired of paying
for those who “will not.” The tolerant. The proletariat. The great “unwashed” who are about to be s*domized by Barak and Joe. People like me who will go to work on Monday and support illegal aliens, crack addicts, bastards in jail and the parasites.

On taxes if you make below $250,000 – you’ll get a tax cut
And if you make over this amount – as Joe the Plumber dreams one day of doing – then he’ll be charged 3% higher taxes for the amount over – $250K
but get a tax cut for the amount below.
It’s this 3% on the wealthiest 5% that will go into a tax cut for 95% of Americans – of which – it sounds like – you’ll likely be included.
Relax.
Think of Clinton Economics!

Crap. I won’t get a tax cut. The higher the taxes on those who start, own and run businesses, the less they’ll do. Why would someone work harder to have the government rip the dollars from their accounts? Illegal aliens, crackheads and parasites don’t pay taxes. They only collect entitlements. Obama’s delusions of the Great Society will have to be paid for by somebody. Most likely, me and you.
