Think about just how much we'd get accomplished if we collectively viewed the people with whom we came into contact as just an American and not an American with a prefix.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We may be many things, we Americans, but we always get the job done.
I'm an American. We've translated democracy and brotherhood and equality into enterprise and opportunity and success - and that's getting Americanised.
Having different people come together and be on a team and win a world championship is literally, I think, the definition of being American.
One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work.
I think of myself as a plain human being who happens to be an American.
We've got to be Americans first. We've got to pull together and unite.
The American Way is an amalgam of our compassion, our strengths, our failings and our attempts to build a better world, a more perfect union.
Here's an idea: How about just 'Americans?' That has a nice ring to it, if you ask me. Placing undue emphasis on our 'separateness' is a step backward. Bring back the melting pot.
Americans are far more remarkable than we give ourselves credit for. We've been so busy damning ourselves for years. We've done it all, and yet we don't take credit for it.
I am not an American; I am the American.
