I think you need to get some sleep. You are claiming the majority of Americans aren't Americans because they don't think the way you think an American should. What gives you the right to judge people like that?
The First Amendment of the Constitution of United States, the document the people who aren't Americans don't bother to understand.
I thought being an American was about the freedom to pick the type of government you live under, and changing it as is seen fit by the voters, but apparently its about conforming to a single political ideology without which one cannot be an American.
Like I said, people who aren't Americans don't understand the Constitution so they come up with comments like that one.
Explain what document defines the structure of the United States government and what document provides what procedure to alter that structure.
You speak of independence but yet offer no chance of disagreement.
I'm not saying you can't disagree. But if you're going against the Constitution, you're not a real American.
It's not complicated.
So if I can't be a democrat and still be American, that eliminates a huge portion of the country, and I can't be a certain type of Republican without giving up my "Americanism."
Yeah, that's too bad for you people, but the real Americans are waking up from a century long nap and we're not happy with the damage you've done to our country. We're going to have to ask you to move a country that fits you're vision of how bad a nation should be and stop wrecking ours to fit that vision.
So let me ask you, where can you, a true American, and me, apparently not one, disagree? What is up for debate, whats left?
Don't know. So far you haven't been right on anything that I've seen. You should work on learning more about what America is really about.
What it isn't about is punishing the successful to buy votes from the useless, it isn't about apologizing to the world for existing, it isn't about stealing money to make y ou white guilt go away, it isn't about letting other nations invade us and being afraid to speak against it because that might be construed as racist.
Americans have friggin' backbones.
Lets say I wanted to be a real American in your eyes, what would I have to do.
Grow up and stop demanding others take care of you and stop demanding others take care of the problems of others that seem to be urgent to you. That's the first step.
Let us know when you take it.
I've got news for you. You're just as much an American as me, or anyone else born in this country or naturalized to be a citizen. America is NOT about following a certain ideology or believing the government should work in one way.
Like I said, real Americans understand the Constitution and are incapable of making such a foolish statement. And being an American is about following a certain broadly defined ideology, an ideology that's encoded in the Constitution itself.
And I, along with all my other non-Americans, have the same claim to that title of being an American as anyone else.
Well, all the non-Americans are making false claims. They're claim jumpers, without the huge desserts.
I take few things personally but this is one of them, don't ever say I'm not an American, and don't ever say those who disagree with you are not Americans.
Hmmm....real Americans recognize the true value of this:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
They don't tell others they're not allowed to say things.
Your angst isn't impressive. The goal is to get you off your current path and onto the track to make a real American out of you, if you're in the country legally, that is.
I know many individuals who are more of an American than you'll ever be if you don't change and accept the differences that exist, and have always existed in our country, these are my friends, family, Christians, Muslims, soldiers who've fought and some who have died.
Yes, how droll. Now you're pretending that I don't know there are differences between people. No advocate of any form of socialism fully understands what it is to be an American, and that includes Thomas Jefferson, who wrongly wanted the federal government to fund public education, but who at least had the honesty to understand that the Constitution would have to be Amended to allow this. That amendment was not forthcoming, and the Constituion still does not allow the federal government to fund education, and that means all advocates of public education are not complete Americans.
Any other strawmen you want to set up before you strike the match?
Americanism is about a set of values and personal liberties set in the Constitution and other places, but not what you've twisted them into you with this ignorant self-righteous contempt filled rhetoric.
Ah, so you HAVE heard of the Constitution. All you need to do now is begin to understand it and what it means on a personal level.
