Each time Sarah Palin speaks, she says something outrageous that sends her rabid crowds into conniptions of hate, we learn a little bit more about her; we see the veiled racism, the hate mongering, and the ignorance; we learn things more important than anything we might have learned in a press conference, and more important than any of the stand-up comedy she offered Gibson and Couric.
As we all know, Palin's latest demonstration of her Maverickness is to offer a McCarthyesque sequel to John Edwards's 'Two Americas' speech. Allow me to paraphrase:
There are two Americas, not one: One America that does the work, another that that is lazy and lives on welfare. One America that pays the taxes, another America that takes your money for their foodstamps . One America - the REAL America - who terrorists like Bill Ayers want to bomb, and another America - liberals, leftists, and terrorists - whose every wish is would be Barack Hussein Obama's command. One America that loves America, and another that hates America and wants to destroy it.
Real Americans, Americans who LOVE America don't want to pay taxes, because taxes are un-American.
Palin:
Our opponents, they have some strange ideas about raising taxes. To them, raising taxes - and Joe Biden said it again today — raising taxes is about patriotism. To the rest of America, that’s not patriotism, raising taxes.
Paying taxes so we can provide body armor to Track Palin, and all our soldiers in harm's way? That's un-American. Paying taxes to educate out children so they can be competitive in a global economy? Un-American. Paying taxes to maintain bridges and levies? Un-American. Paying taxes to take care of wounded soldiers and veterans? Un-American.
That's why Joe the Plumber is the perfect example of a Real American. He's so real, he doesn't pay his taxes! Now THAT's a true Patriot.
You know who else is that kind of Patriot? Sarah and Todd Palin.
But let me go back to the kind of real Americans of whom John McCain and Sarah Palin are so proud.
TERRORIST!
Bloodlines....
That's what it looks like when you love America, according to McCain and Palin.
