I'm an American! I'm free! And I'm proud of my country! And I'll defend it until the day I die!
July 14, 2009 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 07/14/2009 11:01:47 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

I'm not English-American or Irish-American or White-American or Straight-American or Christian-American or Conservative-American or Middle Class-American. I'm an AMERICAN! And I thank God every day to be born free and fortunate enough to have been born in the freest country on the planet! And among the most determined and most capable people ever assembled!

I refuse to submit to the liberal attempts to divide our free people into organized hyphenated special interest groups and pit us against each other. I refuse to bow down to and tip-toe around the professional race pimps. Or the homosexual lobby. Or the radical feminist groups. Or the radical environmentalist groups!

I AM a native American! And I am proud of my national heritage, all of it! We've had our trials and tribulations have made our mistakes and have fought tremendous battles to right our wrongs and defend our liberty and will continue making mistakes and continue fighting the battles because we are human and we long to be free!

And the war for freedom is never won! There's always someone who wants to gain power over us, to organize us, to control us, to make things better for us, to make our lives more orderly, more organized, more healthy, more efficient, more like the way THEY'd like to see us be! They wish to GOVERN us! To saddle us! To train us! To work us! To control us! To bury us!

No thanks! I was born free and I'm determined to live free and I'm determined to die free and leave a future where my children and their children may live free!

To hell with hyphenated America! To hell with socialist America! Disband your jealousy ridden greedy little I-Want-It-My-Way separatist groups and UNITE under the American banner of equality, justice and freedom for ALL as God intended and our fathers left us!!

You might have a conversation with the haters who tell posters not to join the NRA.

I happen to be a native American (meaning both my parents and I were born as natural Americans).

Not a new concept, but the average Modern-American (joke) is so terminally ignorant that he is unaware of how long the struggle to actually make it e Pluribus Unum was the ultimate goal of the American ethos.

A couple of examples from 90 years ago...

“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americans... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of it continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.”
Theodore Roosevelt October 12, 1915

"A hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts 'Native' before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

...and a contemporary one:

‘If anybody calls me anything but an American-American I am going to slug him’.
George Foreman

Well said sir!

In a free society, liberty is the engine of justice. Justice that is not born of freedom is, in reality, slavery to the capricious laws of men.

To hell with hyphenated America!

My sentiments exactly. It's this hyphenated bullsh*t that's tearing this country apart.

Thanks for posting this Jim. A few of the troops have looked a bit down in the mouth of late and this is just what the doctor ordered.

I’ve been using the simple title “American” in my tag line for some time now.

Good rant, Jim.
