To Be or Not to Be "American"

Americans believe in certain unalienable rights and atop that list is Life, Liberty and the Freedom to pursue individual Happiness, also found in our nation’s Declaration as a free sovereign nation.

Americans believe that our rights are not afforded by elected Representatives, but rather endowed by our Creator.

Americans believe that all men are indeed Created equal, with the freedom to use their individual talents to become unequal by way of personal achievement, in pursuit of individual happiness.

Americans believe in a Representative Republic form of self-governance, strictly defined in and limited by our written, not imaginary, Constitution.

Americans believe in the individual right to earn and own, not take, redistribute and waste.

Americans believe in being generous with their own resources, not other people’s resources.

Americans believe in the right to bear arms, to speak freely no matter how offensive that speech might be to some, to clean up their government when it strays off course and to hold people accountable for their actions, both private and public.

Americans believe in free enterprise, capitalism, individual economic freedom to earn as much or as little as individually chosen, to be rich or poor, or anything they desire through honest efforts.

Americans believe in themselves, not government.

Americans believe that a nation of personal achievement leads to real progress and that penalizing personal achievement through progressive taxation of the productive in the name of a greater common good, leads to eventual collapse of the most progressive society on earth.
Americans believe in national sovereignty, which requires national security, including at our borders.

Americans believe in the spread of freedom and liberty around the globe as a means of reducing threats against our own freedom and liberty at home.

Americans believe in the rule of "American" laws, passed by the "American" legislative branch elected of, by and for the people of America, not international laws passed and administered by anti-American regimes around the world.

Americans believe that all of these principles serve the greatest common good of all Americans and that protecting and preserving America means protecting and preserving these principles.

This should be taught, to memorization, to all students. Re-taught, re-taught, and re-taught until it is totally immersed and accepted by every citizen of the republic.
