100% American here & was very proud up until just under 4 years ago.
Of course, arbitrary interpteritive terms like Blight's call for "real Americans" are a bit subjective, no?
In fact, I could make a good case why Blight and his thirst for liberty supression are as unAmerican as the genocidal electee that he lusts after .. but I won't.

kaya - I find that poking fun at peoples ethnicity sometimes gets a great ROI - look at xpanda when I call her Quebecois - I guess the truth hurts. As for you; you said you lived in PR (or was it CR - they all sound the same), so, culturally, you're not a real American.
Me, I'm a true American - a mutt - I have the blood of about a dozen ethnicities, and I'm sure a few different races, running through my veins. I've lived in every ethnic neighborhood in Boston during my life, and worked my way up through the socio-economic ranks, from the ghetto of Roxbury, to the suburbs of Boston - a well travelled life.
TT - do some homework - attrocities in Vietnam were few and far between - but lies about attrocities were a dime a dozen. I know because I was there. I know because I've spoken to hundreds of Vets who were there and had never encountered any attrocities, or knew of anyone who knew, first hand, anyone who knew of any attrocities.

Lander, you'll never find me flying the French flag as my icon. You're the un-American one here - trashing everything you don't like in America because it ain't up to your level of acceptability!
Bigots like you used to haunt the halls of the KKK and the Reichsfuhrer - re-enforcing each others beliefs in what is and isn't acceptable in your AmeriKa!

Except that I fail to see how being called a Québecois is an insult. I even asked you that, and you didn't answer. Truly, I don't know how that is an insult. I'm not being a smartass for once, either. Now, if you called me a Newfie, that would be different ...

Puerto Rico and Costa Rica all sounds the same huh? Well I give you one thing you do have the typical American ignorance going there.
Just to clear up your misconceptions, I was born and raised in the States and happen to be living abroad at present. Not a real American you say, well actually Irish American about as American as it gets baby. Remember that the Irish were discriminated upon arrival and had to work harder than many to achieve the American dream and therefore appreciate America more. As far as backgrounds I grew up in typical, small town America, as rednecked and average American as it gets.
A Bostonian you say, so you're like Texans, Puerto Ricans, Alaskans, i.e. almost Americans. Hell you guys can't even pronounce English, did you remember to pak da caw before you got on your computer?

We should all demand more from ourselves, our society and our government. People that settle for mediocracy do so out of necessity not principle (ahem .. they can't compete, dum dum).
I'm sorry that the notion of an intellectual society freightens you.
KKK? Right, reichy. Let's just overlook the fact that they are mostly southerners that mostly vote Republican. You have more connections to the KKK that your brain has synapses ... ok, poor example, but the rest of the forum not named Gameface got my point.

Kaya - I pahked my cah in the garage before I got on my computah.
I know you're an American - but you're a bit isolated down there in Central America.
Xpananda - thow protesteth too much!
Poops - get a job, pay a few bills, and try to give Mom and Dad a break.
Lander - you'd fail miserably in an intellectual meritaucracy - you don't have the mental portfolio.

Lander,
Mommy and Daddy obviously paid for your education; my family was poor and didn't have such resources. I used what resources were available - and I earned the GI Bill

I try not to respond to a thread, like this one, which appears to be ignorant. However, I need to reply to this one.
The author of this thread is stating that who ever votes for Kerry, might be not a , so called, real american.
I believe the post is used to incite the supporters of Kerry, which there are more of, than Bush.
To the author of this post I use my posting message, under my name and my signature at the bottom to further my notion that some of the posters here fit both of them.
