Are there two types of Americans?

Question

The first: Those who try to get their hands on all the information from all sources i.e. realising that not all American Media (in fact very little) is un-baised. Those who don´t enjoy being steered into decisions and relish hearing both sides of a story.
Those who have a respect, concern and understanding of other cultures around the world, and therefore a common realisation that people are inherently the same wherever you travel with the same basic needs, namely food, shelter and love.
and then the second type: right wingers?

Answer 1

Every human being is the same. We all want things to improve for ourselves and our kids. We all have our dreams.

The more you know about people the less there is to fear.

Problem is American kids are not taught this in school. Instead they are taught how they beat the British and how they won WW-One and WW-Two.

Result, a nation of ignorant people who know nothing beyond the borders of the State in which they live and who have little or know knowledge of world history.

Answer 2

Basically yes, but many others fit into your respective groups. I would classify your first type as the Constitutional Republic upholding, freedom loving, gun toting red blooded Americans who believe in the USA for what it was, and is by law supposed to be. The second group is virtually the progressive movement who think the Constitution needs to be rewritten as they deem(and it's followers). They want to control every aspect of every ones life, and every inch of ground that is America. They've been entrenched in government for a long time slowly eroding away our rights, and Constitution. I think right now though they are becoming impatient, and are going for the gusto(or Gestapo). The problem with this is that government as a part, or whole is an unprofitable business in itself. We can't all work for the government, and the few who don't work for the government can't afford to support the whole house of cards. Americans (at least half of them anyway) won't tolerate this for long. Either Civil War II will break out, or the government will grow powerful enough to capture us in Nazi/Stalin/Mao fashion and all dissent will be met with the barrel of a gun. I truly believe that there is more division in the two sides of what Americans believe right now than in the Civil War. Tyrants who want to control America and the world are all those mentioned below, Illuminati founded 1776 Progressive (New World Order) milestones(rotting America from within) over the past hundred years; Federal Reserve founded 1913...Worlds largest counterfeiters Council on Foreign Relations founded 1921...political arm of the Federal Reserve International Monetary Fund founded 1944...where did Nazi gold go?! United Nations founded 1945...No explanation necessary Bilderberg group founded 1954...Set America's political goals, and direction Club of Rome founded 1968...look this one up! Global warming started here Trilateral Commission founded 1972... Think Dub-ya retired to Texas? Think again!

Answer 3

How you can say that I just don't know, only two types of Americans? How many types of Brits are there?
American media? Is that different to British media then? Do you actually believe all British media is unbiased? In fact I cant really think of any media that is unbiased!
Sorry it's just not possible to categorise people into just two types. No matter what part of the world they come from.

Answer 4

It's easy to arbitrarily divide any population in two on some criteria or another.

If you were to divide the US population into basicallly open-minded vs basically closed-minded, you'd have a very small fraction of the population in the former group, and most self-identifying 'liberals' and 'conservatives' in the latter.

Answer 5

Extreme Left and Extreme Right are the same thing... Dictatorship. History will show you that more than adequately.

Americans are just like anyone, they want to get on with life.

You did well to start with, then got lost in some political/hate clap trap.

Answer 6

If by "hearing both sides of a story," you mean listening to the crap that terrorists spew, and giving it credence;

or if by a "respect of other cultures," you mean respecting a culture that praises a 12-yr old beheader;

or if by "realizing that people have the same basic needs; namely food, shelter and love," you mean realizing that people who praise and support hijacking a plane and smashing it into a building has the same basic needs as me;

Than YEAH! there ARE two Americas.
The RIGHT American, and people who want to destroy it.

Answer 7

By posting such a question in the manner that you did shows your own bias.

I was actually on board with you until the last sentence.

I would like respect, concern and understanding for the American culture that so many far left seem to be repulsed by.

Answer 8

The first type are clearly those hearing an opinion they like. If an opinion is given they do not like they classify such a person as "narrow minded" or "bigoted" or as in your case "right wing."

Answer 9

I think you have oversimplified it a little bit. I agree with your general idea that the left is generally more international in thier viewpoints, but those on the right are sometimes just as well informed, they just come to different conclusions.

There are yahoo nut jobs on both sides of the isle. You have your dirty pot smoking hippies who don't work on the left and you have your ignorant southern budweiser swilling red necks on the right.

Answer 10

Hmmm - I think you're thinking a bit too deeply.

There are indeed 2 types of American - thin ones (1.5%) and fat ones (98.5%).

But then, of course we could add into the mix those with something resembling a sense of humour, but that's only about 0.0000001%, so not really worth bothering with.
