I Was Born in a Small Town

Thanks, Jon Stewart, for saying what we all think. I was born in a small town, raised in that "pro-America" part of the country. There are many of us from there and still there (my mother, for one) who think Sarah Palin is anything BUT American. Real Americans don't scapegoat other Americans; we don't blame working people who want to own a home and reward Wall Street suits who make up risky investments so they can buy that house in the Hamptons. They don't send young men and women from those small towns to fight and kill and die on a lie and then vote against a new GI Bill. Real Americans care about their neighbor who can't afford medical treatment. They just want to send their kids to college and keep their decent jobs and raise their families in peace. Sadly, too many people who live in those small towns think like Palin and McCain and their lot, my mother excepted. Thanks Mom. And, thanks Jon.

"She said that small towns, that's the part of the country she really likes going to because that's the pro-America part of the country. You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly: fuck you."
