What is an American?

[zardook2007]

Crevecoeur’s famous essay about American Ideals and farmers doesn’t need a definition, nor does Amendment I from the Bill of Rights published in 1791

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.

For the above reasons America has become the dream of all; a refuge where oppressed people seek help, security and food.

Democracy was embodied in America and now with the help of president Bush is being spread all over the world.

The following video shows a short scene of America’s democracy in Iraq. Have a look and see if an American should be proud of it!!

Oh be nice!

Someone who places his hand over his heart during 'God Bless America,' wears an American flag pin, and definitely doesn't have any ties to something Muslimly.

We're Americans. With a capital A, huh?
You know what that means? Do you?

That means that our forefathers were
kicked out of every decent country in the world.

We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog.
We're mutts. But there's no animal that's more
faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt.

you've never seen Stripes?

Search for "We're Americans"

Stripes Script - transcript from the screenplay and/or the Bill Murray army movie

Your lack of classic movies makes me sad.
