All-American Values
“A true patriot is a lover of his country who rebukes, and does not excuse, it’s sins”
Fredrick Douglass wrote those words almost 150 years ago, in the midst of the rise of the Republican Party. When I heard Gov. Palin’s comments today , it made me think about what is Pro-American, and what isn’t.
Pro-American is not shipping jobs overseas, nor giving enormous tax breaks to compaines that do.
Pro-American is not putting our troops in harm’s way for no justifiable reason.
Pro-American is not voting to make returning Veteran’s lives miserable
Pro-American is not voting against energy independence until it’s absolutely necessary.
Pro-American is not voting against recognizing women as equals in the workforce.
Pro-American is not wrapping racism in the flag.
Pro-American is being willing to sacrifice yourself for your country, even for a lie.
Pro-American is being willing to stand up to your country when it’s on the wrong track.
Pro-American is seeing the future from a globalist perspective.
Pro-American is being willing to address poverty, not punish it.
Pro-American is being able to have the audacity to want to change America.
Rhino out.

I don’t understand how not recognizing women as equals in the workforce is pro-american. Explain that one.
I those are values that should apply to any country who want to have a nation to be proud of. Great summary - kind of the idiot’s guide to being a good citizen!
Good post man, this is what people on the right needs to be reading!
Pro American is ignoring logic and fact and acting on a whim.
Pro American is bombing and invading a country for OI…. erm I mean FREEDOM!
Pro American is giving up your freedoms, in the name of freedom!
Pro American is trying to discredit the media so no one knows who to believe.
Pro American is dumbing down the education all across the states by forcing teachers to teach the same.
Pro American is ketchup being considered a vegetable.
(Although anyone who knows me here doesn’t need me to say it, but -sarcasm font)
@skw “Pro American is ketchup being considered a vegetable.” Oh my that is sooooo funny! I’m going to chuckle over that one all day!
