What the hell PR?
Why the hell is your example American shooting an animal only found in Africa and India?
As quintessentially American as shooting critters in the face is, I find it hard to believe that couldn't find a photo of an American shooting a proper American varmint, such as a timberwolf, white tailed deer, buffalo or ghetto-dwelling-minority. You're obviously trolling with that pic.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

Never the less; I'd much rather be hunting along side Sara Palin than along side Dick Cheney.

There are 2 America's.
Rural America
Urban America
With completely different sets of values and ideals.

I would argue that there are more than 2 Americas. Suburban America, for example, is significantly different from both Urban America and Rural America. In addition not all of these types are alike.

America is far too complex and diverse to define so easily.

Urban, Suburban, Rural, Corporate, and the Silicon Valley cultures are the different major cultures I've seen. I used to divide them up by geographical region with exceptions (i.e. this area is surrounded by sub-culture A but is itself sub-culture B), but the exceptions have become so frequent that geographic divisions ended up being entirely useless. Silicon Valley is a holdover from that time, and I'm sure my model is still incomplete. But, yeah. America is complicated.
