Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

CNBC reporter Darren Rovell denigrated Meb Keflezighi's wininthe New York City Marathon -- the first time an American has won that grueling competition in 27 years -- as being not "as good as it sounds" because Keflezighi is an immigrant. This "takes away form the magnitude of the achievement the headline implies." Although Rovell later posted a convoluted sort-of apology the question remains: How long do you have to live in America before you're an American?

So please remind me why should we care what a d-bag talking head from CNBC has to say?

To answer the question: you become a real American when you are born here or when you are granted citizenship. Period.

When the NYC Marathon story came out Sunday night I joked around about the guy's name, saying, "what the hell kind of American name is that, whatever happened to real American names like John Smith or Adam Johnson." The man is an American, like our president, he is a naturalized citizen.

But all kidding aside. I have met foreign-born naturalized American and even legal residents of the United States who have chosen not to become citizens who are more "American" than many native-born "Americans." These people understand what being an American is about while many native-born people, many of them Drudgies, have no clue, they just happen to be legally a natural born American because they happened to be born within a legal/geographic area.

How come the link goes to Diane Sawyer's tofurkey attack on Al Gore? Of course, that's interesting too--liberal media maven playing an attack on liberal icon? And btw, the food-related way to environmental change is not vegetarianism but the localvore movement... (Of which I am not an adherent.)

"How come the link goes to Diane Sawyer's tofurkey attack on Al Gore?"

Scroll down the page.

Thanks, Doc. Is that because the site changed, and the link was to the site?

*** How Much Time Before You're an American? ***

......just until you manage to exterminate 95% of the ethnic group that made up Americans before you got here......

These people understand what being an American is about


Damn right!

I understand what being an American is all about... it's the right to fight over a parking space, like I did.

It is the right to take a shot at your neighbor when he trespasses on your property to steal your newspaper.

It is the right to flip a finger at a judge.

It is the right to spew right-wing ignorance on TV.

etc etc

Most will not understand.

It is also the right to steal elections like folks steal bases in baseball.

Only us Americans can understand.

It's Wednesday... I'll be American till Sunday.... halfway there!
