This all falls back on the beginning of this thread, James is a bigot, pure and simple, is he a bigot because he is truly xenophobic or does he feel it better defines his constituents, I don’t think so, but, we shall find out via vote (personally, I hope he gets 1 vote, his dads).
I just think as Americans we should try not to separate our people by terms that don’t politically define us and that in turn become derogatory when they typically are just stating location, regardless from what state or n,s,e,w you come from, you ARE an American. If someone is acting like a bigot, call them one, but don’t define their location as such just because of them, they don’t deserve that power or that credit and it hurts those who reside in those areas so very much, both personally and externally, as the youth read these statements and perpetuate ignorant stereotypes.
Obama is not our country; his is a representation of it, voted into office by more that half of its people, but not all. If someone wishes for his failure, that’s not unpatriotic, if it is the entire country they wish to see fail, then yes, they are unpatriotic.
I have no intent of "getting over myself" when it comes to vocalizing just how proud of my country I am. I believe the Melting Pot IS "True America".
