You apparently are a victim of the US MISeducation system. Here;s your re-education about AMERICAN culture. >>So...what IS our "distinctive language and culture"? We borrow almost half of our words from Latin, the other almost-half from Old German...a smattering of French, Spanish, Native American, Chinese, Japanese, etc makes up the rest.
Our culture is a hodge podge of cultural traditions from all other countries, brought here by IMMIGRANTS.
Liberals have no sense of American culture. Total ignorance. Ever hear of Rock n Roll ? (AKA Rock music) the Blues? Bluegrass Music ? Jazz ?
Poets > Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Bob Dylan, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Longfellow, Ezra Pound, TS Eliot, Carl Sandberg, WH Auden, Langston Hughes. etc.
Then there's graphic arts, filmmaking-movies, TV shows, etc etc.
And there is the American English language.
And let's not forget about our US history. The wars we fought. The soldiers who died. And of course our US CONSTITUTION.
