How I see America...

Because being American is a phenomenon. Its not about being born here, its about how it came to be and our way of life. We are all descendants of immigrants, people leaving their native country for something new. Which the world hadn't seen, in modern times, the creation of a nation based on individual liberties and freedom. Our nation is the biproduct of those who left their country because of some sort of oppression and those seeking opportunity.

When once I was in London and explained to someone that I was Italian/French/German and Native American he shook his head in disbelief and said..."thats so American". And its true.

So when I hear people say, this or that will destroy America. I take it with a grain of salt, because America is made up of intangible characteristics, which can't be bombed. It can be disrupted, but can't be changed. Thats why it infuriates our enemies, they can't do a damn thing about it.

Thoughts?

I think the Newt Gingrich post got me thinking...
