Are you a true American?

BabyRider · Post by **BabyRider** » Mon May 08, 2006 1:38 pm

I know some of you are sick of my constant patriotic stance and views, but....oh well, here's another one:

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

Not to be antagonistic but being a true American allows for the opposite of all of those situations, in fact maybe more. People exercising their rights regardless of popular opinion is what its all about. That would include Nazi's, Ku Klux Klan, and puppy haters.

I guess I just see things in more simple terms, Nomad. I was born about 40 years too late, I think.

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Mon May 08, 2006 1:50 pm

Well my point is that most of those things you stated would be accepted as American ideals, but the true American spirit allows for all degrees of beliefs. Whether we disagree or not, its the peoples right to display their patriotism in many ways. Thats what really makes us great.

Like the old saying goes. I disagree with you but Ill fight for your right to say it.

valerie · Post by **valerie** » Mon May 08, 2006 1:51 pm

Puppy haters? PUPPY HATERS? No, they aren't TRUE Americans. My kind,

anyway, and that's the only kind I care about!

:yh_flag

(I should add to this: That I understand what you're getting at,

Nomad, and while I would never burn our flag, I think one of the

things it stands for is a person's right to burn it!)

I understand what you're saying, Nomad, but to say the opposite of all those things could be true as well just doesn't sit well sith me. It's ok to disrespect your elders? It's ok to spit on returning vets? Not in my book.

No no not to spit on vets or disrespect elders, thats not ok. Im talking about free speech, free thinking, the privelage of being unique or different, worshipping bananas if thats what floats your boat.

I agree with all those things. Whether this makes me a true American, or just a person who respects a certain set of values, is anyone's interpretation. But I respect our vets, appreciate the values our country was founded on, have no problem with the phrase "one Nation, Under God" and try to treat everyone with respect.

I didn't say you made me feel ridiculous. I said you "try" to make me feel ridiculous. No, you don't have that type, or any other type, of power over me.

Why is it, that whenever I post something about being appreciative of my country and my pride at being an American, it turns into this sort of "oh that's propoganda crap" argument? It's incredibly frustrating. Why can't a person just be proud to be American without constantly having to defend that position?

Isn't it strange that jingoism has taken over from national pride and promotes national arrogance and contempt for other nations and peoples in North and South America.

To a Peruvian and to a Canadian the jingoists of the USA, are devoid of intellectual and reasoned argument, human respect and good manners, especially good manners.

Not only do they claim to be the only Americans, but they also claim to be the only ones with correct political opinions. Every other civilised American and every other civilised citizen of the world stands astonished at such crudity.

We all must become aware that any AMERICANS in big letters are only intellectually ignorant people, bound by superstitious reasoning, brainwashed by clever advertising, devoid of logical discussion and bereft of any respect for the rest of the human world.

In my lifetime, the epitome of arrogance has been stolen from the English aristocracy and now is invested in AMERICANS in capital letters.

Oh dear!

WHAT DOES BEING AN AMERICAN MEAN?

Being an American means enjoying more security, freedom and liberty than any other nation in the world. Being an American means supporting and defending American democracy and every democracy that supports America. Being an American means pledging allegiance to the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands.

Being an American does not mean coming to America to become an American for no other reason than to have the freedom to harm other Americans for profit. Being an American means to be free from those who come to America not to become Americans but to harm Americans on behalf of foreign powers.

Being an American means being educated and participating in democracy. Being an American means learning about American history and what it means to our survival. Being an American means re-examining ourselves in times of adversity and coming to no uncertain terms with those who threaten or undermine our freedom.

Being an American means trusting in the establishment of our Constitution "...to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity..."

Being an American means that we cannot abide any attack against our people or our country by any evil in the world. Being an American means that we must exact American justice against all those responsible for acts of terrorism against America up to and including the cowardly, heinous acts of war committed on September 11, 2001 in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

What does it mean to be an American? It does not mean living in fear of terrorism. It does not mean living in a culture of social aggression, political rancor, legal anarchy, superficial selfish interests and media-driven chaos. And, clearly, it does not mean living in fear of terrorism. Being an American means living free, love of country and the constant effort to make it better. At this point in time it probably means that "we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore."

However, there's something else about being an American that's disturbing, indeed, self destructive. Before the smoke of death had settled on the day of infamy, this American watched a troubling segment of a program that aired on public television. "History of the Future: Technology and the Global Village" contained a piece by a teenager about being American.

In the production a teenage girl skated around on her roller blades talking to people about what it means to be American. Her conclusion between each interview was to skate up to the camera, smile and say, "What does it mean to be an American or to be in America? Nothing! It's just a place where you live." Then she made the peace sign and roller bladed away.

Is that casual glibness our future? Considering the way our culture has eroded, maybe so. Meanwhile, this American wonders what America will do about this deeply seeded crisis, and what that young film producer thinks about being American now...

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in publicplaces.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart whenthey play the National Anthem.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
