Question

Who knows what Gordon Sinclair and Byron MacGregor did for the USA ?
Who's got a link to it ? (forget about snopes. . . .for some reason they won't remove false information about it )


And how the heck can we get that rejuvenated and on the major airways again !!!!

If these Pro-Americans don't make you get goosebumps when you listen to them. . . . . .I don't know what will !!!!!!
(btw, MacGregor's version is better, although Sinclair authored it and made the first recording of it )

Great . The first guy just spewed something totally unrelated to the question at hand . Perhaps I need to consult with my copy of Yahoo Guidelines and see if NOT answering the question is covered ???

Yes you're right !! There is a method to my madness !!!

Answer 1

What happen to Q&A and dialogue? The bulk of this stuff in USA Politics & Gov just seems to be about venting. What does it accomplish? No one seems any happier for it ... the postings never improve. No one is informing anyone. If anyone even had a valid point sandwiched in the criticism, it would get lost. What a disappointment.

I see Y!A is limiting thumbs up and thumbs down ... removing some of them after placement. I noticed because I check back to see additional answers on some questions today, hoping for some real input and that's when I saw the thumbs up and downs had been removed. It was kind of pleasant actually. It was like seeing a wall freshly painted after gangland graffetti has been removed.

I'll be sure to check out your information. When a question isn't so ranting, it makes it easier to look at the actual issues involved.

Answer 2

Pro American? what is a pro-American? something like a Pro-European? or Pro-Asian? lol

America is a continent with many nations in it. The US never named itself the name of the United States is a designation it comes from the end of the Declaration of Independence, "WE, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS, Assembled...". The preamble to the U.S. Constitution reiterated the phrase: "We the People of the United States..." (The authors of these two documents probably used the phrase "united states" in place of a list of colonies/states because they remained uncertain at the time of drafting which colonies/states would sign off on the sentiments therein.) The geographic term "America" specifies the states' home on the American continent.

It is therefor incorrect to refer to US citizens as Americans with the intent of denoting citizenship, or the United States as America with the intent of denoting a nation. Americans have a term for US citizens, we are called United Statesians by the rest of Americans, to say American with the intent of denoting citizenship or America when we mean the United States reflects poorly on our attitude towards the 70% of Americans that are not United Statesians.

Also, although some people would like to believe that America is not one but two continents North America and South America. If you think about it though the term U.S. of A. is a glaring example that this line of thought is incorrect, if America was two continents instead of one, shouldn’t it be U.S. of N.A. (North America)? We say Columbus discovered..... ? AMERICA, not South America or North America.

Hope that helps.
