Quote II

And what makes America, America? Unilateral global military intervention? Money-lust and greed over civics? Disrespect and dishonor of every other country on the planet... just because? Contempt for wage earners? Hatred of government of the people, by the people and FOR THE PEOPLE?
Yeah. I'm sure McCain will make sure America stays the lilly-white, privileged class, privateering, earth-raping America that Cheney/Bush has created.
(God I really don't like Mitt Romney and is ilk)

You could write a book on this statement and what it means in the context of America.

HA!
I hope you meant that as goodnatured ribbing. Because, I mean, have you seen the Romney's... or a GOP event!? :)

As far as I know, I'm the inventor of "spot the black guy" at GOP events.

Two examples of what Republicans mean when they say "make sure that America stays America."
Rounding up long-settled "illegals"
US Immigration doggedly trying to deport a 15-year-old "Guatemalan" girl who was adopted in 1994!
Your government at work... Makes me sick.
