This is America -

[paparush]

"This is America, where a white Catholic male Republican judge was murdered on his way to greet a Democratic Jewish woman member of Congress. Her life was saved by a Mexican-American gay college student and a Korean-American combat surgeon, all eulogized by our African American President." -Mark Shields, PBS Newshour

14. This is the America that is terrifying Teabaggers.

They want to "take back" the America where Women, Jews, Gays, and non-whites knew "their place" and tried to remain as invisible as possible, while doing most of the work keeping this country going.
