Restoring What It Means To Be An American
Jul 26, 2017 Read More Articles by Lloyd Marcus
Even though I am black, I was raised on Superman’s; t***h, justice and the American way. I always believed Americans were the world’s good guys. As a kid, I watched my mom cry over “I Love Lucy” TV stars Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz getting a divorce.
I remember our entire family, mom, dad and five kids gathered around our single television; nail-biting tension in the air as we nervously awaited the final out for our Baltimore Orioles to win the World’s Series over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Despite our country’s racial issues, we patriotically embraced the distinct American culture. We were Americans.
When President JFK said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”, I believe a majority of Americans agreed with him.
For years, I sang my song, “Celebrate America at Naturalization Oath of Allegiance Ceremonies. I thought it was pretty cool that mine was the first song new Americans heard after taking their oath of allegiance. I witnessed thousands of immigrants who jumped through all the hoops, learned our language and history and tearfully pledged their allegiance.
I still remember a gentleman who appeared to be in his 90s, raised to his feet from a wheelchair by a grandchild on each arm. Their entire family wept as he took his oath. Clearly, it meant something extremely special to become an American.
It pained me deeply watching Obama lower the bar, redefining and dumbing down what it means to be an American.
Obama rolled out the red carpet welcoming tens of thousands of i******s to invade our country for welfare benefits; even benefits unavailable to American citizens. For immigrants legally becoming new citizens, Obama made pledging to defend our county optional.
Assuming Hillary would win the WH, Obama figured his illegal invaders would eventually be gifted v****g rights. It did not matter to Obama that they had no desire to embrace our culture, respect our f**g or learn to speak English. In essence, Obama took the majestic shine off of becoming an American.
The late queen of cosmetics, Mary Kay Ash said the speed of the leader is the speed of the gang. Unarguably, Obama’s disdain and disrespect for Americanism trickled down infecting our country. Public schools banned the singing of “God Bless the USA/Proud to be an America“. Students were barred from wearing t-shirts to school featuring the U.S. f**g on Cinco De Mayo, claiming it was h**eful and insensitive to illegal Mexican students. Multimillionaire pro athletes refused to stand for our national anthem, proclaiming themselves victims of America. Their example of dissing our f**g trickled down to high and middle school athletes across America.
Under Obama, JFK’s words inspiring Americans to strive for excellence for the good of their country were thrown on the junk-heap of forgotten history. Obama’s new Americanism was about demonizing and punishing self-reliant achievers, pandering to lazy parasites and addicting as many Americans as possible to big government dependency.
Due to decades of our L*****t controlled public schools abandoning teaching U.S. history, far too many Americans quickly surrendered their precious God-given and fought for freedom and liberty for a free Obama phone and his promise to Robin Hood the rich. Ben Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Obama actually launched an ad campaign begging i******s to apply for food stamps.
Using a Hispanic soap opera , Obama told i******s that applying for as many U.S. government freebie programs as possible was the honorable thing to do for their families.
It was also painful watching Obama insidiously divide Americans into supposed victimized v****g blocs; b****s, Hispanics, women, t*********rs and so on. Suddenly, we became an entitlement-minded gimme-society; everyone running around claiming America abused them and therefore owed them a living.
I kept thinking what the heck is going on. We are better than this. I wanted to scream from the roof tops, “This is not who we are. Darn it, we are AMERICANS!!!” In my song, “We Are Americans“, I ask my fellow Americans to repent and return to our founding principles.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Mark Levin recently penned a book in which he brilliantly articulated the source of my heartache for my country; the well-orchestrated cultural and moral decline of America.
Levin’s book is titled, “Rediscovering Americanism And The Tyranny of Progressivism”
The good news is Trump winning the WH in an e*******l landslide proves that despite decades of L*****ts trying to convince Americans that we are the greatest source of evil in the world, the masses still love our country and long to see her made great again.
And for that, I am extremely hopeful and grateful. Prayerfully, Trump will usher in us becoming Americans again.

What total unmitigated BS! Unfortunately, the dumbing down of this great country started long before Obama became President. Trump's "landslide" victory? Hardly! And b****s have been running around crying that w****s "owe" them for decades. No, I'm not prejudiced, that's just the fact. I*****l i*******ts have made this their home for decades, as well, with generations of Chinese in San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as Mexicans in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. They have been part of the fabric of our society.
It is hypocritical to blame all of this on Obama. As far as Trump making "America Great Again", except for aid to the military and VA, I'm not seeing it.

Thank you very much for being honorable and bold enough to BE an AMERICAN, and not let the Let turn you into a whining victim. Becareful, being honest about such things can be dangerous, many have mysteriously turned up dead for lesser things. You're a TRUE American. I'm proud of you, as I'm sureour foundind fathers would be too. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

old, I too was raised to believe that we were always the good guys. Along came Vietnam and the Civil Rights struggle, my service in the Navy and afterward college. In other words, I grew up. Reality has a way with interfering with our childhood ignorance concerning the world. I still love this country with all my heart, but I see the world as it really is, not the way a child thinks it is, or the way I would like it to be.

I think you need to read Lloyd Marcus' essay with a little more care and less bias. You very obviously did not get his message; it definitely wasn't that Trump has completely restored America or that Obama was responsible for anything more than attempting to k**l the American ethos.

This is for the people that went to the school of fools (the same as I did) and learned what the government wanted all to know and be taught
Then came the computer that opened or started to open peoples eyes.
So we have no government (but it appears we have two governments, and a corporation that are all a fraud).
If you watch all of these programs and all of their shows you will see what the government, the Pope, Obama and others have done that were not lawful.

The Pope scarcely has relevance in his own church, the prior Pope had to quit because, as some speculate, he didn't want to be murdered.

Just curious why would someone want to murder the prior pope

The Vatican Curia is scandal ridden with homosexuality, pederasty and financial fraud being among the many charges. Pope Benedict was attempting reforms and just like the Clinton witnesses who keep dying, there were a rash of suspicious deaths. Benedict wasn't physically capable of vigorously pursuing the miscreants and taking the Popes life has been done before -- no absolute proof of course but circumstances existed which were too strong to ignore.
