1) Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.
2) Only in America could people claim that the government still
discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a
black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is
black.
3) Only in America could we have had the two people most responsible
for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department
and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn
out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
4) Only in America will you find people who burn the American flag
and call America an "imperialist nation," but who get offended if you
say they're not patriotic.
5) Only in America can we have terrorists kill people in the name of
Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might
be harmed by the backlash.
6) Only in America could someone drinking a $5 latte and texting to
his friends on an iPhone 4 complain that the government allows some
people to make too much money.
7) Only in America would people take rappers who brag about shooting
people and selling drugs seriously when they complain the police are
targeting them unfairly.
8) Only in America would we make people who want to legally become
American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of
thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone
who sneaks into the country illegally just become American citizens.
9) Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the
budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as
"extremists."
10) Only in America could the most vicious foes of successful
conservative women be self-proclaimed feminists and the National
Organization for Women.
11) Only in America could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
12) Only in America can we have terrorists fly planes into our
buildings and have some people’s first thought be "what did we do to
make them hate us?"
13) Only in America would we think teaching kids at college is an
appropriate job for communists, terrorists, and other dregs of humanity.
14) Only in America could people demand the government investigate
whether the oil companies are gouging the public because the price of
gas went up when for every penny of profit the oil companies make, the
government tacks on roughly 24 cents’ worth of taxes.
15) Only in America could the first people asked to weigh in on the
seriousness of a racial incident by the media be professional race
hustlers like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Ben Jealous. In other
words, it's like calling in a car dealer as a neutral source on whether
or not you need to get a new car.
16) Only in America does airport security put its hands on your underwear....while you're wearing it.
17) Only in America could the government force a skating rink to have handicapped parking spots and Braille on the ATM machines.
18) Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars
from the people than any nation ever has before in all of recorded
history, still spend a trillion dollars more that it has per year, and
complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

taxes be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't
pay any income taxes at all.

million females babies via abortion accuse OTHER PEOPLE of waging a "war
on women."
