My "duty?" LOL. I never signed up for that. My passport says "United States of America." That makes me American.

You went to America at a very early age and can speak perfect American English, which makes you American. But take the Green Card Americans for example. Is the passport enough to make them "real Americans". No, because they have a language barrier, which stops them from communicating "in depth".

So while you might think people like me are less American, the law does not agree with you, and you just show yourself to be a bigot.

So I did. :) One thing to mind was that America is a civic nation while I was thinking more of an ethnic nation.

Such is the spirit of nationalism. However, I don't believe in nationalism. I think it's a crock. I don't owe allegiance to any country. I owe allegiance to myself. I go where I please and do what I please. I owe allegiance to my family, and to my friends, and the people I know and love. Above all else, I owe allegiance to God.

How you got American citizenship, without "owe allegiance"?:shock:

As for a bunch of fat, old politicians, I couldn't care less about them and it matters not if they're Swedish or American or whatever. They're only looking out for their own wallets anyway.

Country, it is more then "bunch of fat, old politicians".

There's an old song that sums it up.... "some folks are born silver spoon in hand, they'll send you out to war. If you ask them 'how much should you give' the only answer is more more more."

Look on Europe. Just 70 years without war, and people completely degenerated.

**** that. I don't owe America a damn thing.

My children have grown up here and my grandchildren were born. I owe to USA a lot.
