What Does it Mean to be American?

[Esther_Helena]

(Stereotypes welcomed) When you hear the word "American" what do you think of? As in the people.
What I have heard Americans being associated with:
Fat
Lazy
Inconsiderate
Wasteful
Rude
Also, what makes them so, when compared to other countries? Is it true we work a lot more? And if so, how does the laziness factor into that?

I think when I hear those terms applied to Americans, they actually are describing post-Americans, iow Globalists/Internationalists.

What Americans are really:
Moral
Industrious
Courageous
Unassuming
I could go on...

G.K. Chesterton probably put it best about what the real American character was, and how it was being replaced by a new, negative culture (read his works 'What I Saw In America' and 'Sidelights'.) As long as Americans are rural and agricultural, they are good folk. Take them away from the land, and mix them with others ... then they become like the stereotype... and what people wouldnt?

I fully agree. Especially after the 9/11 incident. I want people to look at the good side of America, not just the bad. You also have to look at which part of America one is from. For example, someone from New York will generally be different than someone from my state, North Carolina.

privledged elite.

yea we have good qualities, we must be doing sumtin right because we are a world super power.

its the TV programing that erks me. i can relate with those who hate us when i watch, say jerry springer and these gawd dammed reality shows.they see that and think that is us.

i am concerned that we have become soft so to say. yet i cant think of any country i would rather live in.

I mean no disrespect, but I hear that sometimes - "Well we are the world's superpower, so we must be doing something right".

But it strikes me that perhaps that is only the case because it suits NWO / International Jewry.
America is a ZOG country, it protects Israel's interets, etc.
The USA is the Police Dept of the NWO, flexing it's military and economic muscle as needed. If somehow the USA suddenly found itself with a right-wing government opposed to ZOG, I believe America would cease being a super power pretty quickly. Jewish World finance would simply cripple the economy and find some more co-operative country to be the world's "super power", faster than it mobilsed the world against Germany during WWII.

No Empire or Superpower has lasted indefinately, I don't see much changing.

[Esther_Helena]

This is a bit off topic. I agree with something Milesian said. Superpowers don't last forever. America will fall someday, that's just how it works. I don't really understand politics, so I can't comment on the other stuff. I love my country, but I won't be sad when it falls. Chances are I'll have been long dead, but that's not the point. At the end of the day, America is just one more country. The (most) important thing isn't to try to keep it from falling once that starts, but to learn from it, and to try to build a new, better country.

Well, something like that.

Milesian, get on an airplane, come to America, run for President. I promise you at least one vote.
