Hey...this is my blog...I really don't know what to put in this intro box...

I'm getting sick of people who say: you're not an American. You know what I think? Probably 80% of these people are full of shit. They don't know an American from a Nazi.

Let me tell you what a TRUE American is. Let me tell you how far this nation has gone from it's path.

You think me saying that is unpatriotic? Well it isn't. A person that cares about what his country does is a true patriot.

 Because our country is ranked 37th in the world's education system (beating Madagascar, last checked), I will give what a true American is in bullet point form.

A true American is:

• A person that cares about what his country does
• A person that cares about how his country is seen by the rest of the world (for us, we are seen more and more as war-mongering, oil-addicted bastards)
• A person that doesn't give a shit what another person believes in, as long as he believes that man is born free, and should remain free
• A person that helps other people, native or foreigner
  
• A person that THINKS before he votes on an issue
• A person that listens to all opinions
  
• A person that freedom must never be sacrificed for safety (hence "Give me LIBERTY, or give me DEATH" - Patrick Henry)
• A person that will do what's right, not what's best for him
• A person that knows the difference between wasting lives, and spending lives
• A person that thinks all are created equally from the time they enter this world to the time they leave it.
• A person that is a Human Being first, and a Citizen second
• A person that speaks out when something is wrong
• A person that isn't afraid to speak their mind
• A person that defends the weak
• A person that seeks unity and despises hatred
• A person that despises corruption
• A person that is honorable
• A person that is noble (not in the monarchical sense)
  

Now, I know that is a tall order, but if you can't handle that, then you are not the American.

Here's somebody who is an American:
