What Makes an American?

by
WHAT MAKES SOMEONE an American as opposed to, say, an Englishman, or a Frenchman, or a German, or an Italian? Within these other countries, the answers are fairly simple. For example, a German is someone who can demonstrate that his ancestors were German-speakers originally from those areas in which Germans have been historically concentrated in central Europe. Thus, the Volga-Germans, descendents of German-speakers who emigrated to Russia during the time of Peter the Great in the 18th century, have been able to claim German citizenship even though neither they nor their ancestors for many generations have ever been to Germany. In Asia, in countries such as Japan or Korea, the defining characteristic is race. There are a large number of people of Korean ancestry in Japan, in many cases representing five or six generations, who have ...

A Republic, Not an Empire

by
Predictably, the key lesson of the recent China incident has not been learned. That lesson is this: America was designed as a republic and should not act like an empire. When it does act that way, the American people, not to mention the people in other countries, suffer. Why does the U.S. government need to send spy planes near China?

It is no secret that American officials, having enjoyed the status as heads of the chief Pacific power for some time, are ...

Perhaps the release of the U.S. pilots who were spying on China will cause the American people to reevaluate the U.S. government's foreign policy. For decades, the U.S. government has stood for empire, extending its military domain and supervision over much of the globe, much as the Roman empire did in its day. The empire threatens, intimidates, terrorizes, bombs, and spies, which has produced enmity against the American people among people all over the world. After witnessing what the U.S. government has done to the people of Iraq and the people of Yugoslavia, is it any wonder that the citizenry of China are so antagonistic to our government, especially when, by its own admission, our government is actively spying on the Chinese people? It's time to dismantle the empire, bring home the troops, and privatize them, and make the American republic the beacon of hope, liberty, peace, ...
