I am an AMERICAN!

[buckwheatpaul]

This was sent to me by a friend....and I happen to agree with it.....Please feel free to put your 2-cents worth in!

I am the Democratic, Republican Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare.

I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker.

That's me!
I am a Master Mason. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.
I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others.
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles .
I believe in American products and buy them whenever I can.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental functionary,

Democrat or Republican, that wants to share it with others who don't work!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

Get over it!
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English.
I believe there should be no other language option.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.
My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and

Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, nor was I a slave. I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted

by the Turks, and neither have you!
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change

your own country! This is AMERICA ..We like it the way it is and more so the way it was ...

so stop trying to change it to look like Russia or China, or some other socialist country!
If you were born here and don't like it... you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.

I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the Congress and all those who oppose the POTUS.
I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches,

where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution?

Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color

you are, but not just because you happen to ride a bike.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license. I think it's good....
And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money..
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running

the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making

'donations' to their cause....Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes a man and woman .
I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA ! If this makes me a BAD American,

then yes, I'm a BAD American. If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know...
We want to return our country to the values it was founded on, and prospered under for over 200 years!
My Country...I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

My great, great, great, great grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the Revolution and the War of 1812.
My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Mexican American War.
My great, great grandfather watched as his friends and brothers died in the Civil War.
My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Spanish-American War.
My grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I.
My father watched as his friends died in WW II and the Korean War.
I watched as my friends died in Vietnam , Panama and Desert Storm.
My son watched and bled as his friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq .
None of them died for the Mexican Flag.
Every one of them died for the American flag.

Texas high school students raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole, other students took it down.

Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.

California high school students were sent home on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with

the American flag printed on them.

Enough is enough!

This message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to stand up for America .
We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough.

I'm taking a stand.
I'm standing up because of the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country,

and for the American flag.

If you agree, stand up with me.

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

AMERICANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS! Let me make this clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally:

1. Get a sponsor

2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past!

3. Live by OUR rules!

4. Get a job!

5. Pay YOUR Taxes!

6. No Social Security until you have earned it and Paid for it!

7. NOW find a place to lay your head!

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

We've gone so far the other way . . . bent over backwards not to offend anyone.

Only AMERICANS seems to care when American Citizens are being offended!

WAKE UP America !!! If you do not pass this on, may your fingers cramp!

I MISS MY COUNTRY!

IN GOD WE STILL TRUST - GOD BLESS THE USA

[kbstenberg]

100% agreement!
If what i do offends you. GET OVER IT
I lost a weeks worth of work. Because another employee thought i MITE hug her. And was told by a supervisor. I had to respect how other imegrants lived and thought. BULL !!!!!

[Lloyd Smale]

yup the problem is to many here will park the Harley for the day and hop in the prius or Tacoma with the wife and head to Walmart to go shopping. Was a time when buying a Harley screamed IM AMERICAN. Today most are sold to yuppies who pretend to be bikers and could care less if it was made in Milwaukee or made in Tokyo as long as they can wear the leathers and do that stupid wave.

[Sig556r]

I'm damn proud to be an American...

[nun2kute]

Makes me wonder, when they're "in the prius or Tacoma " on their way to Wally World if they wave at all the prius's or Tacomas going the other direction.

[DCP]

Lots of truth in your post.
I am a Sheepdog. Just one of many.
I will protect the sheep and hunt down the wolfs.

[Lloyd Smale]

They kind of remind me of the commercial where the guy who works in an office and wears a tie hops in his Toyota and puts a wig and eye makeup on to go to watch his daughter sing.
Makes me wonder, when they're "in the prius or Tacoma " on their way to Wally World if they wave at all the prius's or Tacomas going the other direction.

[Blkpwdrbuff]

I agree wholeheartedly!
And the immigrants need to assimilate into our culture NOT the other way around!

[Battis]

Wrestling is fake? Damn.
Unfortunately, the U.S does not have a national language. Canada has two. We need English to be declared our language. We have a national anthem, bird, flower, etc - we need a national language.

[SSGOldfart]

Humm I agree,but I think we have let the situation go to far the wrong way

I'm not sure it can be fixed at this point.

[bmortell]

my complaint is, I knew what the whole thing was gonna say after the first sentence..

[WILCO]

Lloyd,

It's called capitalism for a reason.
Don't class warfare somebody because they have money or vote
with their wallet.
If the damn government would get out of every American's way, you'd see even greater things.

[WILCO]

I'm damn proud to be an American...

Me too. Will never apologize.

[KCSO]

I follow TR if you are a hyphenated whatever you are NOT an American! African, Muslim, German ect. One or the other!

[Wild Bill 7]

What sig and wilco said. Love ❤️ our country.

Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

[bob208]

I have been riding Harleys since 1980 I don't do that stupid wave. I don't have stupid patches sewed on my leathers . I road to work road in the rain. my bike was dirty.

[troyboy]

Good Bless America!

[tunnug]

Amen to the OP.

[gwpercle]

We need to be Americans . Not " whatever Americans " just Americans and we all need to stand together and not let the political parties divide us up .
When a Disaster happens (floods , hurricanes , tornadoes ) we all pull together to help one another out , like good Americans should ... I've seen it happen time and again right here in Louisiana .

I'm not going to listen to what the hate mongers , trouble makers and left leaning liberals keep saying . They only do it to keep us divided ...
...Together We Stand , Divided We Fall .
Love and Respect for each other will win the day !
Gary,
Proud To Be American

... a post worth being posted in Spanish as well ;-)

[dangitgriff]

This nation and this country were doomed by the 1860 presidential election.
The principle of state sovereignty over the central government died in 1865...and with it, a Constitutional mandate of self-sovereignty.
Our founding documents clearly dictate the terms of peaceful secession from an over-reaching central government authority.
If American “conservatives” truly desire to live up to the principles of the Constitution, they/we should have already kicked a bunch of psychopathic politicians’ azzes and run them out of Washington, D.C. and every damn liberally-compromised city in the nation.
I don’t know if I’ll be alive for it, but this nation is headed for another very ugly conflict in the very near future. Perhaps we should all do a little soul-searching to determine if we have the guts to feed the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants...and our true patriots.
I am not proud of what we have let this nation become—via the voting booth—since 1860. If you ever hear me or anyone else discredit and disparage democracy, just take a look around this once-great nation and ask yourself how in the hell it got this bad before launching a misguided attack. I will readily redirect you to D.C. and the narcissists embedded therein.
Democracy always, without exception, ultimately leads to socialism, the essence of which is taking wealth away from the productive members in society and redistributing it to the non-productive by government force legitimized through the ballot box.

I started working when I was 13. Dollar an hour back in 65. Mowing lawns. Hard work in the hot summer sun for a short kid.

Dad insisted that 50% of all I earned went into a savings account. Half of what was left went into my school clothing fund, but that was ok, because now I had a voice on anything I paid for. I got to choose.

So I was left with a quarter, back in 65 you could get a good BIG candy bar and a cold coke for a dime. That left 15 cents for rainy days.

Dad was really good to us, he bought the mowers, used lawn boys. Cleaned the carbon out of the exhaust ports and they ran like new. He even bought the gas. In return, every thursday we mowed our own lawn, made sure it was spotless. Perfectly mowed, clipped, trimmed. So the house always looked good on weekends.

In one slick move he got his lawn mowed, taught us a work ethic, a saving ethic, and the value of money. We sweated for that money.

When I turned 44 I finally found the right girl. We got married, and that lawn mowing and saving bought and paid for in full our house.

Not a big house, busy corner, but workable, and MINE. Not the Banks, MINE.

All of the above seems to be what is missing from todays generation.

Yeah I'm proud, and to the OP, AMEN!

And yes, I too am an American, and proud of it. Staunch believer in the Declaration of Independance, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Nothing else counts. When in doubt, go back to the big 3, they say it all.

[samari46]

I have a good friend who told me this is not the country that I fought for back in '64-'67. I whole heartedley agreed with him. Frank

Lloyd,

It's called capitalism for a reason.
Don't class warfare somebody because they have money or vote
with their wallet.
If the damn government would get out of every American's way, you'd see even greater things.

The whole "Class Warfare" tripe is a a false narrative. I do not buy into the whole lower class,lower middle class, middle class,upper middle class and upper class propaganda. This country was founded on a society of all men being equal. The founders were trying to abolish the European class system. The 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence states "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. If all men are created equal you cannot be tucked away into some nicely packaged class system which shall be your lot in life with no chance mobility. That means that the common man was equal to the King. This putting people in class structures is a Marxist idea. It is designed to cause friction and jealousy between people.

[curdog]

Amen to that. I am a Master Mason too. My great great great great great grandfather fought in the revolutionary war, great grand father was a confederate soldier in the civil war and my Dad fought in North Africa and Italy in ww2. God bless America.

[dangitgriff]

Hey Cheeto, are you saying that bankers, blue-chip company CEO’s and politicians are jus’ like us po’ folks? [emoji23]
We still drive the economic growth in the country, but get paid less over time:

Some Americans receive more than their fair share of this pie, all else being “equal”:

Some Americans will not get the pensions they were promised by politicians and corporations:

Small business startups are in serious decline...entrepreneurs can’t afford real estate, regulations and laws (minimum wage floors, for instance) that drive the costs above realistic expectations:

Why Is What Was Once Affordable to Many Now Only Affordable to the Wealthy?
“Ownership of speculative capital is concentrated in the top 5% of households, guaranteeing that speculative gains from asset bubbles are also concentrated in the top 5%-- roughly 6 million households, with the majority of the gains concentrated in the top few hundred thousand households.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190731/f0df2b63cab968e8830b10584da30847.jpg
Outsized gains are now only available to the few with the skills and experience required to gamble high-risk assets successfully, and this is becoming more difficult; even the professional class of money managers are increasingly unable to beat passive index funds.
The top 5% are riding high now that central banks have inflated stupendous bubbles in stocks, housing and other assets, but these gains are speculative. These gains are often viewed as permanent entitlements (i.e. bubbles never deflate), but if history is any guide, those holding speculative gains as if they were a form of savings are in for a rude awakening in the next few years.”

AMEN brother, AMEN! To the original post.

[bedbugbilly]

AMEN! The Brother who wrote this has it right. I am going to copy and paste this and pass it on - we all should. I'm not a veteran, but I doubt that any vet that has been on the line stopped and took a look at the color, religion, political leaning or any other aspect of the "brother" who was covering his back and whose back he was covering . . . they were and are AMERICANS. I could go on and on . . . . but the posting you put up pretty much says it all. Thanks for posting . . . . and Ill say it again. . . . IMHO, President Trump has only been wrong on one thing . . . he referred to D.C. as "the swamp" . . . perhaps he was showing too much restraint . . . he should have called it for what it has become . . . a "septic tank".

An American flag is a very inexpensive thing to purchase . . . DO IT AND FLY IT . . . the price paid for the flag through the years came at a much higher cost to ALL AMERICANS who believed and still do believe in it and what it stands for . . . . the tears shed for those who paid the supreme price were "colorless".

[Boaz]

Good post Paul . Thank you . A lot of us are tired of it .

[dangitgriff]

I’m tired of all the socialism in the United States.
When one of these democrat idiots debating this week about how they’re gonna give more ‘free’ stuff to everyone who votes for them is our next president starting in 2021, looking out at a flag flying in my yard isn’t going to make the problems go away.
Pride goeth before the fall...or so the saying goes. We shall see.

[robg]

The UK has gone the same way .the safety net is now a lifestyle choice for the work shy and bone idol .it used to be no taxation without represention .if it was changed to no vote if you don't pay taxes just might change the balance of things.
