Color, creed, physiognomy, and partisan identity are not part of it.Having immigrant parents makes one no less American than having immigrants who first appeared in America in colonial times. Having ancestors who arrived from a ship only to be sold to the highest bidder makes one no less American than having ancestors who trafficked in those slaves or owned them on the plantations. Having ancestors  who fled pogroms in Russia makes one no less American than having ancestors who fled the Irish potato famine. Being on the side of labor or management in a labor-management dispute makes one no less American because one side is less "American " than another. Being a conscientious objector or a war hero makes neither more or less American than the other.

Classic X'er, you do not understand what it means to be an American. Your view is just too narrow.

Hmm...All I see coming from you are partisan Democratic/ liberal views and talking points and political narratives and a life long devotion to supporting one party. I agree that race, creed, and partisan identity aren't part of it as you said. You don't see how partisan you are? I've got news for you, we don't live colonial times or live during the time of Manifest Destiny or during the time of the so called industrial age. We live in a fully established, fully developed nation with the exception of Alaska which is largely wild and undeveloped at this point. So, whose view is narrow and who doesn't understand what being an American means these days? I don't like YOUR stuck up, piece of shit liberal elites for a reason. I didn't like them much thirty years ago and I like their children less today. How do we get rid of them or force them to grow up and come to grips with how stupid and careless they are as people? What do you know about sacrifice? Fucking up and paying the price ain't sacrifice.
