Mycket av det Robert W Malone skriver är applicerbart på och gäller för Europa och Sverige också.
For U.S. citizens, this is our most patriotic weekend of the year, so it seems fitting to rewrite and republish an essay that I wrote two years ago on Americanism. It is important to remember that in most of Europe, Patriotism is considered a bad thing that can lead to ‘far right” totalitarianism. Most U.S. citizens see it quite differently, and we celebrate patriotism, particularly on the Fourth of July every year.
Americanism can be defined as a belief in devotion, loyalty, or allegiance to the United States of America, as well as respect for its flag, traditions, customs, culture, symbols, institutions, and form of government.
At the heart of Americanism is loyalty to the United States, its culture, and its political structure. These ideals include, but are not limited to, independence, justice, freedom of speech, democracy, the Constitution, our Republic, and economic progress.
“True Americanism is an ideology that is continually nurtured within one’s soul through individual daily actions, thoughts and beliefs in what their responsibilities are to be, blessed to live in one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all.”
Rich Anderson – American Legion Americanism Commission chairman
Americanism is a word that has fallen out of common usage. I am not sure why, as it so clearly defines what so many of us yearn to return to, and what we wish for with our dreams for the future. It is a uniquely American version of conservatism.
Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy that seeks to promote and to preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values. The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the culture and civilization in which it appears. (Wiki)
