Are You a REAL American? Do The Daily Show Math to Find Out
Are you? I bet you thought that by virtue of being an American citizen living in the U.S.A. you truly were a REAL American. WRONG!
You see, there are anti-Americans among us, and you may be one of them!
How can you tell if you are a REAL American. All you have to do is do this simple math problem that Jon Stewart thought up for The Daily Show:
Why might you be concerned about your “American-ness?” Because some nutjobs have raised the issue:
“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, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation.” –Governor Sarah Palin
“I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America, or anti-America. I think people would love to see an expose’ like that.” –Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann
“I can tell you that the Democrats have just come in from the District of Columbia and moved into northern Virginia. But the rest of the state, ‘real Virginia,’ if you will, I think will be very responsive to Sen. McCain’s message.” –McCain spokesperson Nancy Pfotenhauer
So if you are someone like me who grew up in small-town America and moved to a major U.S. city after graduating from college, you might think you are still a Real American, but these people think you are not.
Jon Stewart asks if you are “Pfriend or Pfoe:”
That’s funny, but if deep down inside you are feeling very pissed off at these people for questioning your patriotism, you should listen to what Keith Olberman says about these asswipes:
And if all this sounds familiar to you, well you should reread this 2002 comic from This Modern World.
