America grants over 165,000 foreign nationals work visas requested by Corporate America, twelve million illegal immigrants’ benefits and protective services that many Americans whose family history precedes these foreign nationals are denied with nearly 750,000 Americans are unemployed, denied civil service positions or even the opportunity to take civil service examinations in a fair and responsible manner.

While foreign nationals are granted easy access to these positions, run political offices and organizations, maintain political positions, and engage in nepotism, denying Americans the same rights and privileges convenient to foreign nationals and their brethren inclusive of those born in commonwealths and other such territories. Among such states engaged in such activities is the State of New York but more so within New York City where even the mayor has little regard for the laws of the land least of all the voice and vote of the people or even Bronx County for that matter. Therefore, truly what does constitute being American?

Surely, based on the aforementioned it is not a birth right nor is it seemingly a constitutional right or privilege and so what truly does constitute being an American. This question has prompted civil suits related to the president-elect however this is an issue that goes well beyond his election but to the very core of what once was a great and powerful nation – The United States of America where today each state operates independently of such unity while demanding tribute from this defunct organizational structure where God and Country meant something. Whereas today it is gods and I that means more than the blessed unity that once made this nation great. Yesterday, sixty-seven years ago America was officially brought into WWII after the attack on Pearl Harbor, since then there has been Korea, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf but no group of veterans were treated so badly as those returning home from Vietnam.

Today, Americans throughout this country are experiencing a small portion of that which these veterans experienced. The political and judicial systems reject any and all notions of God and godly principles and precepts and both the Democrats and Republicans though blaming each other have reduced this nation to the most despised among nations. A nation that clearly prompts dual allege based on ethnic identifying characteristics – African-American, Korean-American, Jewish-American, Italian-American, Japanese-American and this list goes on and no longer is there any pride, self-respect or dignity related to being an American citizen. I would be interested in your response apart from the obvious animosity generated from asking a most profound question, which has no bearing on sociological or philosophical ideologies born of Eurocentric or Afrocentric dogma. Therefore, who can answer the question – What constitutes an American?

While I appreciate your sentiments that Obama will and has inspired the masses what worries me is what he will inspire the masses to do. I mean, there were many people in history who have been inspiring and we know how those stories ended. (Hitler and Stalin were two of the best orators this world has ever seen).

Also, Obama rose purely on the appeal of his personality and the promises he made to his followers. This means that the followers have not thought for themselves but rather put all their faith in one man. This is not the way people lift themselves up…by relinquishing their ability to think to someone else.

Anyway, those are just some thoughts.

I enjoy your blog.

i have an idea that, in theory, will get more fans of every sport to
the sporting venues-globally.

yes, the concept is a mix of branding, marketing and a vehicle that
will encourage the fan to physically get closer to their idolized
player(s).

so far, i have a concept digitized into a CAD drawing and am looking
for investors to fund a prototype production and seed money.

this is not the most eloquent of posts but i just wanted
to touch base and see if you’re initially curious. my goal is
to rock football(soccer) on a global level.

i’m a chicagoan.

cheers,

Already broken promises abound…..1)he appointed a man who was on the board of Fannie
Mae as his chief of staff, 2)he has appointed lobbyists to his transition team (this from the man
who said lobbyists would not be part of his administration), and 3)so many of his
appointees are Clintonistas. So much for CHANGE.

Promise the fools anything! And shame on anyone who believes the promises. You bought
a prettily wrapped package without a clue as to what was inside.
