Sarah Palin is right about one thing: this election is in fact a battle between the "real America" and a pretender. But it's not quite the battle she imagines.
Let's hope more people will think about today's situation in togetherness terms, not we versus them, because that state of mind cannot solve the problems we all share today.
It fits in this evil-good doctrine that Sarah Palin can categorize the country into Pro-America areas and call her opponent somebody "who is palling around with terrorists."
