I think this was a joking reference to the Republican habit of referring to people in the middle of the country as 'real Americans'. By implication then, this Conneticut driver would be a fake American.
Maybe it's actually a sensitive acknowledgement of our friends in other regions of the Americas - we're "American," but so are Canadians and, God forbid, Venezuelans. So the quotation marks are surprisingly culturally sensitive/politically correct...considering it's an a-hole bumper sticker.
So, wait, are the not American and proud of it? Maybe they gamed immigration somehow. I'd be proud of that. Thanks, Jenn.

ReplyDeletePerhaps it's social commentary on how so many people say "Buy American," and then continue to support virtual slave labor for cheap prices.

End of political harangue. Thank you for listening.

ReplyDeleteI wish we "Americans" could vote for president.

That's awesome. I tend to think of people with bumper stickers like that as "Americans" too. At least this person is proud of it.
