What does America mean to you?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Why was Jefferson such a terrible writer?

fpbp.

It's god's gift to his followers
It's the only first-world country that's majority Christian
It's the most beautiful country in the world
Not even nukes could make my nation as shit as yours

The greatest country now and forever.

He wasn't the one who wrote that. It was George Mason

I was born here but I have nationality abroad as well. I'm thinking of jumping ship because I think things are gonna get ugly soon.

The first thing that comes to mind is evangelicals preaching about how becoming rich is morally correct.

literally what is morally wrong about becoming rich?

>I'm thinking of jumping ship

please do

Where did I say it was or wasn't? I just said that's the first thing that pops in my mind.

you think people saying you should get rich is a symptom of the decline of America

A constitutional republic of sovereign states and that have the right to self determination. Our land that allows us and those around us to better ourselves through the freedom of self determination. A country that believes the best version of itself will come through voluntary action and desire for itself to do so.

Basically voluntary action is the most pure, best action: the country.

Isn't it derived from the magna carta?

it's like being a vampire

whereas being one by itself isn't wrong, getting there and maintaining it might require a few amoral actions to be done

>commie rifle

An entire continent.

there is literally nothing more american than being free to choose any rifle you want.

plus, SKS's are dirt cheap and not bad.

I thought it was a slight change of something Locke wrote

Innovation.

Hate thy neighbor and vilify anyone who disagrees with you.

>"An entire continent."
>posts two continents
What did he mean by this?

It is, Locke mentioned property (I think he may have meant owning your own property) as a right.

>The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated [the land], far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Could be better. Could be a lot worse.

the Great Satan

Life, liberty and property

Latin Americans consider it a single continent divided in two parts, like Western Europe and Eastern Europe are part of a single continent, Europe.

Family and Faith

It's far more legitimately two continents than Europe and Asia.

OP here. Just got back from a Dem meeting (not in relation to the election. It's just when we had it prescheduled and I'm active politically).
I want to thank these user's specifically for their answers, for they are the ones that let me know I'm not alone. Thank you.

The USA? A young and vibrant culture, but one that could do with a bit more self-effacing humour and self-awareness.

t. buttblasted redcoat

I don't think there is a more self aware nation in the world.

>It's the only first-world country that's majority Christian

Bullshit piece of Fuck

An imperialistic power who controls Europe,promoting shitty ideology and consumerism that makes people dumber and dumber. A country that I would nuke if given the chance

An exciting and vibrant gay scene

>Spaniard
One of the country my ancestors explored. The first Europeans to put a foot on that land, to see the Mississippi river, The rocky mountains, the Grand Canyon or Yosemite park.They brought horses, pigs (there werent pigs in the new world) and established there latifundios and cowboy riding style typical from southern Spain. Sadly most American dont even know about this or just think about mexicans.
