[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is “real America”?[/quote] I remember when this BS started ... the first time I remember hearing it was in the 2008 campaign with Palin. She was talking about how places like NYC weren’t “real America.” I sat there and recalled how my dad barely made it out on 9/11 and thought, “Do the lives of the 2,000 people who died that day, and the countless New Yorkers who were traumatized not count as the experiences of real Americans?” Then I moved to DC and met people who lost family members and friends in the Pentagon attacks. I met federal employees—a common target for these “real America” people—who literally slept at their offices afterwards because they were working such long hours to try to deal with the aftermath. I suppose none of these people are real Americans, since they live in DC and NYC. It remains one of the most offensive things to me. [/quote] 2,000 should be 2977. [/quote]
