I am an American

It used to be when you asked a person from the USA what nationality he or she was you would get the reply, Greek, or Italian or English or some other ancestry. No more. What you will hear now is, "I am an American" and there is no longer a mention of former ancestry.

I am an American who no longer trust those from the "old countries" that my forefathers came from. You who might come up to an American to converse with him or her around the world and get met with a shrug or have a back turned to you, or simply having us not talk back to you, You might consider us arrogant. Maybe its your arrogance that has made us this way. Maybe it is things like went on today around the world as you protested against our government that makes us suspect of you and mistrust you. Thats right! Its our government! We elect this government and when you, who know nothing about it, protest against it, you protest directly against ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THEIR WILL! You are the ones who have driven us away from you and not the other way around! We do not need you, those who think that we cant survive without them are mistaken. We can, and we will, and you can shove your filthy ideals and snobbishness right up where the sun never shines.

How many from America lie buried on your filthy shores from former wars? How many of yours lie on ours shores? Want to compare numbers? How many of you blood suckers have come to this nation to suck the life blood from the hard working men and women of this nation through social programs and public funded educational institutions and such? And yet you dare call us warmongers? Warmongers, when just a short while ago the worst attack ever committed against innocent women, children and men was committed? Was there ever such an act ever committed on your soil which was unprovoked? And what did you do when you heard of this? You cried and you prayed and you sent condolences and you made a huge false show of grief! YOU FILTHY LIARS! You did all that and now you do this? You've forgotten havent you?! You who think you are so pure, so great, so wise, have forgotten those who jumped out of a building to be splattered all over the concrete below to escape being burned alive. You didnt watch it and understand it did you? You have no idea of what it takes for a firefighter to run up a building knowing the thing is going to collapse because the first one did just before. Those police and firemen have something none of you or those in your filthy government will ever have. Its called bravery, gallantry, love, duty, honor, its called concern for fellow man. They are HEROS. They are those on a flight who took matters in their own hands to prevent another plane from reaching its target. Thats humanity, something you will never know as you are selfish cowards being led by greed and lack of morals.

I am an American, and I am comming through! Get out of my way or prepair to suffer the consequences. If you wish to be my friend, then act like it and I will! Untill then, stay clear as I will show you the same hate and disrepect to those who protest against me they show me, their governments included.

I am an American. And I NEVER EVER forget those who stand beside me in times of trouble.

I am an American, and I will never set foot on French soil. I do not want my feet contaminated with the filth of your ignorance and arrogance and greed. I will never set foot on German soil, as I do not want my feet contaminated with the filth of your greed and selfishness. But I will travel to those places who are with us and I will spend my money there with abandon the way I do in travels within my own nation. I will spend my goodwill to those who would spend it towards me. I will remember with those who remember with me. I will not forget, the stab in the back you have delivered against me..EVER!

I'm an American. The old (pre-U.S.) country of my ancestors is Pennsylvania.

I call myself American too, my ancestors came from England, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Northern Ireland, but there were reasons why they left.
The stories of how my ancestors are too long to post here, but suffice it to say it had something to do with America being a better place.

Some great thoughts. However, the French at one time DID stand with us (Revolution). We didn't forget. They did.

I am English, Dutch, German, Swiss, Irish, and Scottish, and there is indeed a reason why my ancestors left the Old World, and I am just so happy that they did. I would never want to go back to any of those Old Countries, nor am I proud to claim them as a part of my heritage.
