What does Sarah Palin and her ilk think I should do to become a real American?
For starters, stop calling yourself a “Sikh-American” and refer to yourself as an American.

Notice the absence of any mention of Native Americans in her call. Kinda stupid comment considering that Todd is part Native Alaskan.

Sikhs have been in this country for over a century; Sikh workers participated in building the Panama Canal in 1903-04. Panama is not in the United States and we no longer own the canal.

An immigrant from India, I am a Sikh-American, and wear the markers of my faith long unshorn hair covered by a turban. Sarah Palin had just sundered the nation into us and them, and relegated people like me to the category of incomplete Americans. Thin-skinned rant checklist: 1) Hearing things that aren't there 2) Hyperactive sensitivity to same 3) Pre-existing political bias 4) Self-regard based strictly on ethnic origin

I guess Palins campaigning with Bobby Jindal, whose parents were immigrants from the same India, don’t count?
Neither does her opinion.

What makes this jack*ss think Sarahcuda was talking about people that look different, speak with accents or pray to false gods?I think she was referring to leftist unAmerican trash like Bill Ayers. Or, perhaps, those that disdain wearing an American flag lapel pin or who reach for their crotch when the national anthem is played.

...and cheerfully marched in a parade led by Gloria Steinem and others down Fifth Avenue in New York City in support of womens rights. How did you feel about Gloria Steinem when she defended Bill Clinton, serial rapist, when he was caught lying under oath and paying others to lie under oath for him to cover up his sexual affair in the workplace?
How does THAT help women?

A hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts Native
before the hyphen as of the man who puts German
or Irish or English or French before the hyphen.
Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.
We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any
other allegiance.
Theodore Roosevelt, 12 October 1915

Ah, no. You did that to your self. If your information is true you are just as real an American as the rest of us. That is why you have the right to attend your protests and voice your opinions. Unfortunately, being an idiot doesn't prevent you from being an American, real or otherwise.

We forget that in a melting pot, the ingredients lose their individuality entirely, as if they were processed in a homogenizer. Some observers, instead, posited a tossed salad of many cultural, religious and ethnic peoples as the model for America. But we forget that salads may get tossed a tad too vigorously, and then some ingredients suffer needlessly; examples are the incarceration of the Japanese during the Second Word War, as also the long history of slavery and the Blacks. Also, the ingredients in a salad may interact with each other only minimally. Balkanizing the nation by trying to institute special "separate but equal" courts for Islamic law (Sharia) is not the American way. It is Imperialism by Islam. They come as missionaries to establish a foothold here, not to participate in "cultural exchange". They do not permit our culture into their homelands.
I recently rewatched a documentary on Max Ernst, the artist. He was German born but moved to France. During WWI he was arrested on the grounds that German citizens posed a threat to the security of France. He was married but that did not matter. Someone spoke out on his behalf and he was released but he was eventually arrested again.
It is foolish to believe that only America ever instituted such a policy in wartime.

Let me put it in the simplest terms...if you push marxist slavery (see Dem party USA)and fight against the freedom of others, you are not a "real" American because you want to be totally controlled and have others be totally controlled by government. That's not what this Country is about. Got it? Everything else is window dressing.
Now go push your "I've got it rougher than you" whining on someone who has never had to struggle a day in their life..maybe you could get some guilt leverage there for your agenda. Not here...not ever.

Perhaps a better analogy would be that of a mosaic, in which even the smallest piece has a place and enriches the whole pattern by its presence. But a mosaic, one could argue, may present what is not a dynamic but static reality. One pixel "out of step" does not ENRICH a tv picture...

Just because something is different does NOT make it good and not all cultures are equally beneficial.
