Preserving a culture of freedom, individual achievement and initiative, speaking English, and supporting our nation, in good times and bad. If you do choose to serve in the armed forces it better be OUR armed forces (do you hear me Rahm Emanuel)?

I would like to add preserving our constitutional Republic, but it seems that only 10% of our population even UNDERSTANDS the concept, let alone is interested in preserving it.

There is an overriding sense of "Americaness" that most folks can't articulate it, but they live it everyday of their life. Underneath this overriding identity, are various subcultures, including hip hoppers, rednecks, secular urbanism, and fundamentalist protestantism, among others. All of these are as American as pineapple on a pizza.

Secular urbanism; that’s enough to pop my pineapple.

Well, strictly speaking, pizza isn’t “American” either.:)
