What is a Real American

What is a Real American

And I don’t mean what is a “Legal” American, I mean what is a Real American? What is it in the heart of a person that makes them a Real American, a Patriot?

Well, a real American IS a patriot. He would gladly serve his country in time of war. He would come to the aid of a neighbor. He knows America is an exceptional nation. In his heart he loves Liberty, Freedom; he appreciates entrepreneurship, he has the drive to make his way in life without a net and rise or fall on your own efforts like the pioneers did, and he knows that God endowed him with the right to Life, Liberty, and to pursue happiness

That is a real American.

Would you call some America-hating socialist or Leftist a real American? . . someone who mocks trucks and guns? . . someone who does not want to work and wants to live off of welfare? . . someone who despises America and hates our history and our traditions and our values and embraces evil ideologies? Is that a “Real American” just because they were born here?

Some people might say they are real Americans too because they were born here. I say those people are wrong. Such sick anti-American haters may be legally American if they were born here but they are not REAL Americans in their hearts. They are not Patriots.

Is this all too hard for a person to understand? If it is them maybe that person not a real American.

Have you heard people talk about fake Christians? Sadly there are people who call themselves Christians, and maybe they even go to church once in a while, but they do not have Christ in their heart. The lie and hate and do bad things. We all know they are out there. We see them all the time. Simply calling yourself a Christian and going to church every Easter does not make you one. Most people understand that, right?

Why should it be any different for being an American? . . a Patriot? Any fool can be born here. But when you are an adult, do you realize what a wonderful exceptional country American is and are you a patriot? Or are you a blood-sucking socialist democrat who enjoys the fruits of the land but hates the nation? If you are the latter then you are no American, born here or not.

Some people cannot grasp these concepts. That is too bad for them,

"a blood-sucking socialist democrat who enjoys the fruits of the land but hates the nation?"

On the Right

"a real American IS a patriot. He would gladly serve his country in time of war. He would come to the aid of a neighbor. He knows America is an exceptional nation.

Thanks for the off topic ignorance

He's correct.. Terrorists and true believers.

Let's just watch our heritage disappear. That's what liberal Democrats want to do.

Just so you know, I am a retired veteran. I was also an acolyte of Bill Buckley and subscribed to National Review when I was 15 years old. I spoke at my state legislature on multiple occasions for right wing causes and was a proud member of Young Americans for Freedom.

So, yeah, I guess that makes me a patriot.

In the service, one thing we always did after a particular operation was hold a Lessons Learned meeting to see what mistakes were made so we could learn from them and do better the next time.

America needs to bravely face its mistakes so we don't repeat them. To deny them, or refuse to examine where we went wrong, ensures it will happen again, and we are seeing that in our country today. Bigotry and racism are back on the rise. I am frequently astonished at the profound ignorance of American history on the part of people claiming to be patriots.

It is precisely this ignorance upon which propagandists depend. They exploit that ignorance to push their agendas of hate and divisiveness. They increase the stupidity and bigotry among their readership and viewers, and they fill their heads with preposterous manufactured bullshit.

Examining our past mistakes is not hatred of America. It is a desire to make America even better than before.

We really need to walk a mile in the shoes of those who have been oppressed and see things from their point of view.

As for socialism, I've seen the disastrous effects up close and personal. This is why I would never join the Democratic party. Not every Democrat is a socialist, but they tolerate them and I cannot abide that.

Have you heard people talk about fake Christians? Sadly there are people who call themselves Christians, and maybe they even go to church once in a while, but they do not have Christ in their heart.

Most people understand that, right?

I see a lot of fake Christians in my community and on this board. They are filled with hate and use the Bible as a shield for their hate.

I still cannot fathom why evangelicals supported such a thoroughly corrupt and unrepentant serial adulterer, pathological liar, and con man who made his fortune with gambling houses, contests of the flesh and robbed from the elderly with his fake university. It baffles the shit out of me how any Christian could support that animal. He is a hateful egomaniacal idiot.

It is precisely because the GOP has lost its way that I resigned my membership after Trump was elected. I am now a registered Independent who voted for Jo Jorgensen in 2020.

That piece of ignorant stupidity nullified the rest of your post. Do you know who wrote most of the New Testament? A man who literally killed thousands of Christians Paul, who was Saul.

Christianity is about redemption. Your comments reek of ignorance and judgmentalism.

In case you didn't know, Trump was voted Pro Life Person of the Year by Operation Rescue.

What have you done for the unborn lately, big mouth?

Trump is unrepentant. Therefore unredeemable. And I have NEVER heard any right wingers talk about redemption for Hillary Clinton. Ever.

Jesus dislikes hypocrisy more than just about any other sin..

And I know all about Saul. He was on the road to Damascus to persecute more Christians when he was blinded and spoken to by Jesus. He then became the greatest Christian apostle of all time. My favorite books in the Bible are Acts and Romans.

Paul REPENTED of his sins. Trump never has.

Trump was a far left pro-choice advocate. He approved of abortions all the way to the ninth month.

He only became pro-life because he knew he could exploit the gullibility of the Right more easily than Hillary's supporters.

The man faked his way along. He didn't even know how pro-life people actually think. When asked if the mother should be punished for an abortion, he answered in the affirmative. Then he was informed that was contrary to what most pro-lifers believe, he turned on a dime.

The man has no idea what it means to be pro-life.

As for his appointments to the Supreme Court, I believe that is the only thing Trump did right. However, ANY Republican would have done the same thing. Trump had no clue who to appoint and went with that the Federalist Society told him to do.






After Trump registered as a Republican and announced he was running for President, you could see the chameleon huckster change his colors in real time in his natural habitat, television:

TAPPER: Let me ask you about a few social issues because they haven't been issues you have been talking about for several years. I know you're opposed to abortion.

TRUMP: Right. I'm Pro-Choice.

TAPPER: You're pro-choice or pro-life?

TRUMP: I'm pro-life. I'm sorry.




As those of you who have been on this forum a while know, I am pro-life, and always have been. Let me ask all of you pro-lifers out there something. Have you EVER in your life accidentally identified yourself as pro-choice?


Me, neither.

I have been pro-life my entire life, unlike Trump. And until 2017, I was a Republican all my life, unlike Trump.

 

[Red Storm Rising]

Trump is unrepentant.

Oh, so now you know his heart and you know his prayers to God. When did you get promoted to being the new God? Judgmental POS's like you make me sick. You may have served the country but that does not give you the right to play God and be an asshole.

I judge him on his behavior. He is unrepentant. He continues to push hate and he can't open his mouth without lying or bearing false witness against others.

And again, I have NEVER heard any of you speak that way about Clinton.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. - 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Or as the pathological liar would say, "Two Corinthians".

 

[g5000]

But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. - 2 Timothy 3:13

All terrorists think of themselves as "patriots".

Those who really rule declare who the terrorists are. Today it is a parent that does not want their daughters raped who are terrorists and by golly, they will be made to pay and be destroyed if need be.. That is how low we have sunk. No society survives these things for long periods of time.

 

[g5000]

Romans 16:18 for such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.

Says the judgmental fraud playing God who thinks he can read Trumps mind.

Judge not. You are not our judge.

What did you do in the service anyway, peel potatos and tell lies?

 

[g5000]

All terrorists think of themselves as "patriots".

I've often said that there is no one more dangerous than a maniac who believes he is doing God's will.

 

[lennypartiv]

So g5000 is going to make a big deal about Trump being a ladies man. That's what all men want to be. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
