So Republicans aren't Americans? |
|
Cindy McCain just quoted her husband, saying "This is a time when we take off our Republican hats and put on our American hats."
Gee, I'm a Democrat, but I'm also always an American.
Does that kind of multi-tasking confuse Republicans?

2. No. You can't be both a Republican and an American. |
|
I hear'd John McCain say it hisself.

3. An Americans first loyalty is to their country. Republicans first loyalty is to the party. |
|
They're like Communists in that way.

4. They have been accusing us "liberals" of not being Americans since 2001 |
|
I didn't know that being American was something you could turn on and off.

7. And soon I'll take off my daddy hat and put on my hubby hat. |
|
Everybody has different roles to play. "Hat" = "role". Of course, my wife is sick, so that actually means "cook's hat" and "nurse's hat".
Not that I usually cook my patients. But there's overlap there.
Looking for the meaning that's probably intended, not merely checking that the meaning you want to be there is absent, is a big help in comprehension. (As if that's actually what's wanted. It's a very inconvenient way of doing things.)

I got a little dizzy reading your post, especially the last paragraph.
I think you misunderstood the OP.

11. I'm an American first |
|
I was born that way.
I chose to be a Democrat. That in no way keeps me from being an American. John McCain's comment suggests that you can be either a Republican or an American, not a very salubrious way of viewing the electorate.

15. He meant to say "our fictional good and decent American hats. " |
|
Most republicans are Americans but few republicans are good and decent Americans.
