You Might Be a True American If . . .


Thanks to T.D. who sent us an email whose content you can read below. Similar content appears elsewhere on the Internet, I am not sure of the original source, though this content was provided by a retired military officer, LT. W. E. Wells. Enjoy.

“It is time to change from (Jeff Foxworthy’s) REDNECK humor to TRUE AMERICAN Humor! Only it isn't seen as HUMOR, but the correct way to LIVE YOUR LIFE! ...

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival.

" You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays.

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag.

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

“You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

“. . . AND PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN ENGLISH.” > W.E. Wells. LT, USN (ret)

P.S.

I am enumerating a few more signs of a TRUE AMERICAN, or a TRUE CONSERVATIVE for that matter,in the following postscript to the above list:

Sanctity of Life
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you oppose all abortion on the grounds that it violates one of the basic principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence, that every person has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Pre-born babies are human-beings.

Marriage/Family
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you recognize that the only acceptable family unit is a married man and a married woman (to each other). This is the ideal social unit in which to raise children.

Immigration
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: if you believe that the only way for an alien to enter this country is legally and that one of the requirements of citizenship is to learn English and to be assimilated into American society as soon as possible.
.
The Courts
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you believe that judges should never legislate from the bench, but that they should only interpret law, not make it.
.
Domestic Terrorists
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you recognize that the National Educational Union, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Anti-Defamation League, People for the American Way, Americans for the Separation of Church and State, the Democrat Party leadership, MoveOn.org, and George Soros etc. seek to destroy American values and principles established by our founding fathers.

Radical Environmentalist Fomentation
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you recognize that radical environmentalist do more harm than good. Hurricane Katrina damage in Louisiana and Mississippi and the recent fire damage in Southern California were due in part to environmentalist interference.

United Nations
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you believe that the United Nations should be evicted from our soil and that we should stop funding this corrupt and anti-American organization.

Education
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you believe that taking God out of the schools was the beginning of the end of our schools. The only acceptable alternative to our failing school system is to allow parents to choose the school and method of teaching their children. The Federal Department of Education should be abolished.
.
God is welcome here
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you do not recognize that our founding fathers ever intended there to be a separation of church and state, but it is a fictitious misrepresentation and misinterpretation by the leftist judges with anti-American agenda.
.
Living within our means
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you expect our government to live within its means and not to continuing to amass debt for future generations with which to be saddled.
.
Fair trade not free trade
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you look for "made in America" labels before you buy Chinese.
.
Less taxes not more taxes
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you expect less taxes from the government and not more taxes. You expect less government instead of more government.

I could go on and on, but I will stop at these items that come to mind initially, but if you have any additional SIGNS OF A TRUE AMERICAN please send them to us using the comment feature at the end of this article.
