Food for Thought: Were 9/11 Victims "Real Americans"

If you apply the Sarah Palin standard the majority of the people who lost their lives in that big-city, eastern, liberal bastion of New York City would not be considered as "real Americans". Nor would those "Washington insider" Pentagon employees or the majority of passengers on Flight 93 meet the Palin standard.

And when you think about it, a large number of US troops probably do not meet the Palin "real American" criteria either.

Of course, as suggested by Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), the media can always conduct an in-depth investigation to see if members of our military are "pro-America". After all, swearing an oath of allegiance isn't enough proof. And if you don't tow the GOP line, being a decorated general and former Secretary of State doesn't count for much either.
