    We Are all Americans

    The American auto companies and the unions cut their own throat. To try to blame the failure of the union bailout is crazy. The bail out was a very bad idea in the form that the socialist democrats tried to pass on the American tax payer.

    Voter wake up get these liberal socialist out of office and get people in that are loyal to America

    So people in Unions aren't loyal to America? And Democrats aren't loyal to America? And while this post doesn't make the point, others are fond of saying the east and west coasts aren't part of America.

    I guess that leaves those CEO's of companies, the ones who are glad to move their manufacturing offshore to pay tiny wages, and like to move their headquarters offshore to avoid taxes, and who make enormous salaries, no matter what happens to their workers. Yeah, they're the real, loyal Americans.

    You don't get to define who is an American. Your group doesn't get to define who is an American. We're all Americans. Even those CEO's (they're just Evil-Americans).
