We WERE Americans

[DarkFury]

There WAS a day when that meant something. NATIONAL pride was more then an idea a concept it was a FACT, it was a practice. But it has been slowly stripped away and discarded by political hobo's. I know I am not wrong in remembering this, because it was a part of everyday life.

I'm sure there are MANY members here such as Jackson or randall Flagg even Sonny Clark that can remember this. It was almost inherent in our blood.
Nor are we the only nation or people to endure his FORCED loss. Stratford57 can see it in his country and Lucy Hamilton can see it in hers.

We not only have those left wing lunatics deriding us for ours they insist ALL must give it up. What do our and those government propose to replace it with? SOCIALIST government where NOT a thought is yours. You do realize that government NEVER advances only reacts.

There is no advancement under socialist government because that form of government is designed to be stable and never changing. Under a communist government {USSR} the government builds cars and the design hardly ever changes. MOST socialist countries don't even build cars of their own design.

Canada builds cars for Ford/GM/Dodge/Toyota and Honda. All designed in other countries by other people. Canada builds the Winnebago on an American truck platform. They simply do not design/build their own platforms They have outsourced their tech just as American has outsourced its labor.

There WAS a time when all countries displayed their best. German steel was number one. Russian ship building was the best and America built cars for anywhere in the world on any budget and could handle any road.

National pride. The Russians have re-found theirs in a fellow named Putin. Germany struggles right now to find its and in November the world will watch to see IF America has found hers. We are no more the leader of the free world today then Mexico. Germany is no more Europe's free world leader then Greece.

National pride is the ONLY thing that puts you there because with national pride comes ideas and sweat. Hillary has no national pride and never has. The world has seen and suffered at the lack of Obama. Germany is fast falling into chaos because of its leaders HATE for its people. We in this country have a FLOTUS on record with her hate for our way. Just how stupid was that?

So what makes me think we can make America great again? Because we ARE Americans and that just IS what we do...

Excellent piece, Fury. It is so easy to become disappointed when we see the direction our country is taking. Many of us feel it. And, to think we could have a POTUS that is a socialist or one that has less integrity than a common thief, one just wants to shake their head and take a deep sigh.

But as you said, We are Americans and we have to believe that our citizens and immigrants can work together to make this country the leader of the free world, with jobs for all that want one, where we live in harmony again. It's not too hard if we remember for the most part, we are all Americans and want the best for every man, woman and child. Can we do it? Yes? Is there something more important than Democrat or Republican? Yes. This election, let's find a candidate who can bring us together and work for the greatness of this country!

[Kondor3]

I'm still proud to be an American.

Most folks that I know are still proud to be Americans.

There are a few disgruntled minority-types who were never really on-board anyway, but most aren't that way.

There are more than a few hyper-Leftist LibProgTards - self-loathing types and internationalist idjits who aren't proud, but they aren't your average Leftie...

All in all, most folks - of all economic conditions, races, religions, political parties, etc. - are proud to be Americans...

It's just that the country has become so politically polarized in recent years that sometimes it's easy to forget that shared and treasured commonality...

Yes, you are right...that is so hard. We are so ingrained in our identity to party. Maybe if we actually listened to one another and consciously try to find common ground? Let's give it a try...Anybody else up for stopping the rhetoric and start listening?

I am not sure that is the case either. I see so many people volunteering their time and/or donating money to make their communities better places to live. I think of lot of this is overblown dramatics.

Thank you Lone Laugher! I read on another thread, not too long ago (half an hour) about how you were disciplined. I thought at the time, for someone who is so different, we have the same backgrounds. I don't think we are that different. We both want a strong America. I am willing to listen to your ideas and add my own, realizing both of us have vsalid points of view. And, I promise, no snarkiness!

National pride is not propaganda. National pride is what propels a nation.
