Again with the idea that only conservatives are true Americans

By Richard K. Barry

In a speech at CPAC, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida let loose a bunch of quips that show Republicans never tire of breaking the country down into makers and takers, and by extension into real Americans and the pretend kind.

One comment was this gem:

We don't need new ideas. The idea is called America and it still works.

It seems that conservative ideas are American ideas and everything else is either European or Kenyan or socialist or liberal, anything but American. Anybody that wants to change anything about America, other than whatever it takes to return it to its previous pristine state, ought to be run out of town on a rail.

Yee-haw!!!
