We Are All Americans - Treat Us As Such

[HARDCORE]

2-12-2020

“Division by choice is just as damaging as division by chance or conquest – count upon it!”

There are certain things in life that just should not be! And granted, some people are smarter, better-looking, financially richer, and even more highly educated than others, but no one is ever better than you are! This is, and has always been, the axiom of life here within “The United States of America”, even if there are some out there who would dispute this fact of democracy!

For after all is said and done, we are a nation of equals, if not always financially – certainly upon the merit of our patriotic values and don’t you ever forget it either!! As a silver spoon, an overly-generous bank balance, political stature, and even that often bogus reputation that far too many of us still seek to endlessly entertain, does not, can not, and will not, elevate you above any other peer. For Once Again, “We Are Americans”, and no loftier, or even nobler a title, can any man or woman ever hope or aspire to attain!

1. Where does the word America come from and what does it mean?

The word meant “at the large hill.” ... The word America comes from a lesser-known navigator and explorer, Amerigo Vespucci. Who made the decision? A cartographer. Like Columbus, Vespucci traveled to the New World (first in 1499 and again in 1502).

2. What does it mean to be an American in modern times?

Being an American means that you can make your own decisions about where you want to live, where you would like to work, who you'd like to marry etc. It means being brave, being proud of this Country, and being confident that we will succeed. Being an American is an honor not a privilege.

3. How is an American identity created?

Culturally, Americans have defined themselves in many ways—through artistic expression, ethnic traditions, work and play, and home and community life. The Museum's collections reflect the diverse roots of American culture as well as common experiences shared across lines of race, ethnicity, and region.

4. What does it mean to be living the American dream?

Definition of the American dream. : a happy way of living that is thought of by many Americans as something that can be achieved by anyone in the U.S. especially by working hard and becoming successful With good jobs, a nice house, two children, and plenty of money, they believed they were living the American dream.

5. What are the 13 American Values?

1. PERSONAL CONTROL OVER THE ENVIRONMENT

People can/should control nature, their own environment and destiny. The future
is not left to fate.

Result: An energetic, goal-oriented society.

2. CHANGE / MOBILITY

Change is seen as positive and good. This means progress, improvement and
growth.

Result: An established transient society geographically, economically and socially.

3. TIME AND ITS IMPORTANCE

Time is valuable - achievement of goals depends on the productive use of time.

Result: An efficient and progressive society often at the expense of interpersonal
relationships.

4. EQUALITY / EGALITARIANISM

People have equal opportunities; people are important as individuals, for who
they are, not from which family they come.

Result: A society where little deference is shown or status is acknowledged.

5. INDIVIDUALISM, INDEPENDENCE AND PRIVACY

People are seen as separate individuals (not group members) with individual needs.
People need time to be alone and to be themselves.
Result: Americans may be seen as self-centered and sometimes isolated and lonely.

6. SELF-HELP

Americans take pride in their own accomplishments.

Result: Americans give respect for self achievements not achievements based on
rights of birth.

7. COMPETITION AND FREE ENTERPRISE

Americans believe competition brings out the best in people and free enterprise
leads to progress and produces success

Result: Competition is emphasized over cooperation.

8. FUTURE ORIENTATION / OPTIMISM
Americans believe that, regardless of past or present, the future will be better and
happier.

Result: Americans place less value on past events and constantly look ahead to
tomorrow.

9. ACTION AND WORK ORIENTATION
Americans believe that work is morally right; that it is immoral to waste time.

Result: There is more emphasis on "doing" rather than "being". This is a
no-nonsense attitude toward life.

10. INFORMALITY
Americans believe that formality is "un-American" and a show of arrogance and
superiority.

Result: A casual, egalitarian attitude between people is more accepted.

11. DIRECTNESS / OPENNESS / HONESTY
One can only trust people who "look you in the eye" and "tell it like it is". Truth is a
function of reality not of circumstance.

Result: People tend to tell the "truth" and not worry about saving the other
person's "face" or "honor".

12. PRACTICALITY / EFFICIENCY
Practicality is usually the most important consideration when decisions are to be
made.

Result: Americans place less emphasis on the subjective, aesthetic, emotional or
consensual decisions.

13. MATERIALISM / ACQUISITIVENESS
Material goods are seen as the just rewards of hard-work, the evidence of "God's
favor."

Result: Americans are seen as caring more for things than people or relationships.

Regarding: "We Are All Americans - Treat Us As such",...I understand such, HARDCORE understands such, and Boats understands such, as I'm sure most all other Non-Fanatics quite certainly understand.

Unfortunately for America, America's Democrat/Leftist/Progressive/Marxist/Socialist Party hierarchy posing as liberals and their lock-step echoing mainstream press/media Refuse to: "Treat Us As Such".

Such power & control hungry/fanatical/nut types as alluded to pander financially to everyone earth (Middle Class US Taxpayers for Everything EXCLUDED of course), just to increase their voter base for achieving ONE PARTY TOTAL CONTROL, just like in communist nations.

The only difference between America's Democrat Leftists and Leftists worldwide,...is that the fanatical Pelosi, Schumer, Nader, Schiff and Waters type duped followers don't run around waving red flags.

Though, one can't help but notice that America's Leftist are getting just as violent, disruptive and destructive here in America, as they are in Europe.

Watch what you say, and watch your back.

RECO

You are the best - America needs more like you and HC - it seems
lately this is all we got! Our Flag & our Country - is Our's - nobody's else.
I've had a few shots tonight cause I ran out of beer. It's difficult to not see
more People to stand up and be counted on this site but they reading our
post.

Our Country and our Flag "is ours" nobody's else's. People have
died for our Flag and what it represents. I've never doubted
that. Dare to dishonor it or our Country will cost you dearly.

Reco - I've missed your post I hope to see more of them.
I know we haven't always agreed on things but that's what make
it interesting. HC is my pal - but so are all Veterans and those serving.

What friends I do have - are few. I'm hot headed and often time
out of line - but I'm honest. I"ve had my ass kicked more than once.
But I never back down. I say and speak what's on my mind.
I won't pretend to know as much as many of you - but when it
comes to our Country and our Vet's - don't step over the line.

It's old age (73 now) and the loss of many of my Bud's over the years.
My time is getting close and I don't fear it. The only thing that bother's me
is my wife's ongoing medical issues. She's 90% handicapped and it
continues to take her down year after year. I have to live long
enough to ensure she's taken care of. I'm not bitter if and when
she goes I will be alone and I just don't fit in just about anywhere
I go. I try but it seems I'm just one of those that don't fit in.

I pour my soul out on this site. Folks on site who know me can
sorta feel that when they read my threads. I'm in my garage
now - where my system is - as my wife doesn't like me being on
the computer in the house. This is my only out-lit and basically
the only site I ever go on.

Patriot Files allows one to express ones issues. I'm unemployed
and retired and every one I worked for had no pension plans.
52 years of marriage and two kids and three grand-kids. They
know their Papa isn't playing with a full deck - but they still love
me. I don't go anywhere because of Kathleen's medical issues.
She blames herself for her condition - I said the BS what if it
was me? I try to do whatever I can for her. This frustrates
her because she is supposed to do certain things - and can't.

Just had two shots of Jack with my coke. I wish I had my
beers but at least I will sleep tonight.

To All You Veterans and those Active Service and our Reserves
you have 110% support from this old Boats. I miss the service
- I did 12 years and still miss it. Why? Who the hell knows?

Well I gotta get in house - I know she's OK otherwise she would
have paged me on the PA system I put in.

God Bless You All and All Those Serving!

Boats or youngster (got you by about 10),

Hang tough. That's about all we can do.

Maybe, and if lucky, America's many power hungry millionaires and Total Control fanatical Leftist Governing Rulers and their obediently echoing mainstream press/media (actually Dem Propaganda Ministry) will eventually become honest, wise up, and come to their senses.

Perhaps such Political Supremacists might even display as much concern for Americans in dire straits, as is INSTEAD constantly displayed for MILLIONS of: "Criminally Illegal Aliens" sneaking into America at whim. Don't some illegals even get Free college tuition in California?

Hell. Who knows? If we were so lucky, maybe America would infinitely more sensibly have: "Sanctuary Cities & States" FOR American Citizens INSTEAD,...before we're pushing up daisies.

Think I'm expecting too much from people whom don't give-a-damn about anything other than THEIR achieving Total Power & Control by increasing their voter base (even illegally)?

Hey. I can dream.

Don't stop its dreamers that make this world possible. 10 years on me you old dog you still got your bite though so that means something. The world will be what it is until they learn some hard lessons once again. To many Chief's not enough Indian's. The world I'm afraid - will have to suffer another reboot or reset in order to make things right again.

Regardless who the leaders are - the events of the day - are growing more and more restless.

Populations are growing so quickly and I feel if an all out war doesn't happen - we will suffer an outbreak of a killer pathogen - that will thin out the worlds population. There's way too many things in the fire now a days.

I do worry most for my Grand-Kid's - what world will we leave behind for them? Will they suffer more-so because we couldn't make things right? Are we the people of this world the blame for this worlds current situation?

I listen to the news - do a lot of research on the web - and everything is see and/or read tends to show no positive signs ahead. It may be Climate Change will no doubt be the reset this world needs. The signs are all there but we just ignore the facts. The people on this planet live for today and don't worry about tomorrow. Like I said the signs are there - but nobody does anything about it.

Our main projects of late are strictly weapons of mass destruction. Our Space programs could've given us a different focus other than bombing the crap our of each other. Our management of our country is wall happy. Not infrastructure - roads or bridges or clean water - the biggest money earners today are weapon designers. We don't own our railroads anymore Canada bought up all the lines. Except the inter-city transportation.

Our heavy industry is gone we import everything. Hence lost jobs. Auto's are so expensive now almost the cost of a small home. College fee's are so high the majority of families or their kids can't afford to go to them. Middle Class is shrinking and soon there will be only the rich and poor. Medical is costly as hell. Medications are also up.

Health insurance is up and Medicare can't cover all the expenses. Saving accounts are shrinking and very little interest is ever paid on monies saved. Most jobs available today for those without a degree are min. wages / part time / and no pensions.

I could go on but it's M.O.T.S. (just More Of The Same).

I know I'm rattling the bushes again. I'll end.

Take care old man and watch your back and hug your Grandkids and Great-Grandkids if your so lucky to have them. Get some store bought teeth so you can eat properly instead of baby food in jars. Stay active - go to the VFW and shoot the shit - but don't just sit in a chair and watch your arteries cease up. Keep moving!!
