What Makes You an American?

Are you an American?


Is it where you were born?
Is it because of where you presently live?
Does a SSN make you an American?
Or a passport or driver’s License?



I don’t think so. The words of the founders themselves, backed up by contemporaneous sources, suggest something else.


I think so.




For them, it came down to three basic points:

They said, “There is a God. A Creator God.

They said, “Our rights come from Him

And they said, “The purpose of government is to protect and defend these God-given rights.”

This is the faith of our fathers and its application to government. It’s what made them Americans. Now let me ask you, “Are our current leaders in government Americans?”Do they believe these things and are they committed to act on these beliefs?

And allow me to challenge you again? “Are you an American?”
