What do you think of when you hear "America"....?

Answer 1

I thank God for the opportunity to live in the greatest nation the world has ever known.

Answer 2

Four songs;
"America, The Beautiful"
"America" - by Simon & Garfunkle
"America" - YES (same song, just different style)
"Monster" - Steppenwolf (lyrics below)

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey

(Suicide)
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

(America)
America where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

Answer 3

I think of Freedom, Equality, and Justice, of Democracy and Peace and Civic Republicanism.

I think of all the true Patriotic ideals we've lost to blind nationalism and fear-based hate.

Goddess bless True Patriotism.

Seek Peace, Fly High, Find Love,
Poncho.

American Soldiers The Flag Freedom (armygirl2675@yahoo)

Answer 5

I think of the early 1500's when an Italian sailor named Amerigo Vespucci sailed the ocean main (the Atlantic) named they name the western hemispheres after him. So therefore he was the first one through Ellis Island. makes you wonder though who was the immigration officer who processed him.

Answer 6

Freedom, Troops in starched uniforms, Sacrifice & pride.
I love every part of America from mountains, deserts, seashore, valleys, cities, towns, & beautiful blue sky.

Answer 7

I think of that song from Team America World Police. And Walmart.

Answer 8

The current superpower that will soon crumble. The defender of western rights and beliefs. Amazing... A country I trully admire.

Answer 9

A Bully Nation. A Nation of warmongers who will go down in shame and eat crow sandwiches.

Answer 10

One word comes to mind, FREEDOM. I'm third generation American and was therefore raised to never take our freedoms for granted like so many Americans do. I'm very proud of my country and I'm proud to say that I've served her in the Navy and that my husband serves her in the Marine Corps in order to insure our children's freedoms.
