Unlike Europe, we are a Republic founded on an Ideal..not a historic boundry or race.

That's a lie, of course, but a very useful lie which has gotten a lot of play over the past 20 years. But it simply is not true, as anyone who knows any real history could tell you (as opposed to the ideology mascarading as history which causes people to believe the lie that "we" are an "ideology" and not a nation). No true American 18th, 19th, or early 20th century American would have ever fallen for so preposterous a lie.

The reason I used the word republic instead of nation, is just that the US is a republic of independant nations..each state being it's own nation. (At least we were before FDR, activist Supreme Courts, 14th Amendment ect). Now, with that said, If you want to treat the entire US as a single Nation, fine, than we are a nation based on an ideology, not a race or history boundry. This is different from any other nationalism.

I'm not sure what you are considering a lie, but I assuming you don't know squat about history either.
