What Constitutes a “Real American?”
The concept of a “Real American” is something that has persisted within our minds since the inception of this nation. In the modern public square, this question has become contorted by the mainstream narrative to suggest “exclusive discrimination” towards a group of persons, or “ultra-nationalist” to consider current Americans to be exceptionally superior to foreigners. After all, how could one claim to be superior to citizens of other underdeveloped nations? It turns out, this notion could not be further from the truth. Instead, U.S. citizens face indoctrination by globalist propagandaunder the guise of democracy, which persists to sway American influence. “Real Americans” are not agents of division, but purveyors of hope and veracity. To this day, Hope remains a prevalent component throughout the history of America in the hearts and morale of the citizens. A staple of our Constitutional Republic, the structure and configuration of our American nation has created both a sense of staunch individualism and benevolent unity.
While the term “real American” does not signify a superiority over “citizens in other nations,” it does assert the construct of our government as superior over all previous and alternative forms of governance. Foreign governments throughout the world, have historically restricted the will of their people, narrowing each citizen's appropriation of patriotism to conform within a predetermined spectrum. These government interests were without benefit to the people, resulting in subpar liberties, and in turn, reducing the overall quality of life. Institutions prevail, no matter the dire economic conditions or inherent necessities of the people. Monarchies, oligarchies, and aristocracies have historically remained unaffected in crises, shielded by barriers of institutional wealth hoarded from within. Rather than devote the fruits of their ambitions to their rulers, dissidents set out for a new world, leaving their countries forever. What began first as expansion resulted in revolution, and has since remained a defining characteristic apparent in all sectors of our modern nation.
Power of the People
Real Americans are self-governing. This means that our Constitutional Republic grants us God-given individual sovereignty unseen previously in the history of the world. America is a nation that, beyond Native Americans, contains 100% immigrants who arrived from other parts of the world. As Historian Wilfred M. McClay reminds us[1], “for one thing, it turns out that there are no peoples that could truly be called “native” to America, because all appear to have migrated there from other parts of the world.” As reported by the Kirk Center, “the student of American thought and society needs to acknowledge that there is no single body of traditions in America[2].” Our country functions as a convergence of individuals from all forms of governance, who sought a superior form of authority that enabled its citizens to be self-ruling. Real Americans are those who have made the commitment to leave behind the previous caste systems and enter a new world that provided equal opportunity for both poor and rich. English Colonists began with Jamestown, the first permanent European Colony in 1607, spending years experimenting with various forms of self-ruling governance apart from their homelands, over a hundred years before America would be formed (McClay, W. M. 2019, 23). No longer would family lineage dictate social rank, but now wealth would be determined by merit. This trend continues to this day, where it doesn’t matter what class of wealth you are born into, the culmination of experiences, education, abilities, and personal decisions dictates your quality of life. Real Americans hold all the power.
The first word in our country is “United,” meaning that Real Americans also ascribe to existing peacefully within a nation filled with opinions from all walks of life. As James Madison proclaimed[3] on August 31st, 1787, “The people were in fact, the fountain of all power, and by resorting to them, all difficulties were got over. They could alter constitutions as they pleased. It was a principle in the Bills of rights, that first principles might be resorted to” (Avalon). That fountain of power remains the source of America’s prosperity, despite federal and state attempts at siphoning its authority. Being a “Real American” isn’t just about individual liberty. Beyond the individual, lies the concept of unity. The collective weight of diversity found within the American population is the driving force behind the successful adherence to our Constitution. As reported by the U.S. Senate[4], “Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the United States Constitution is the world's longest surviving written charter of government.” While America remains a nation of diversity, its platform for potential personal achievement is granted to each citizen without bias, no matter their background, culture, race, interests, or initial net worth. U.S. Laws demand equality, invigorating principles of self-governance to encourage community and individual reliability. To be an American means the universal acceptance of foreign cultures, religions, and languages, while being free to practice your faith and hold your own beliefs, so long as they don’t infringe upon another person’s rights, in turn violating U.S. law.
Revolution by Constitution
As “Real Americans” we are granted the ability to completely abandon all forms of government assistance if we so choose. This means that in America, it is indeed possible to escape being told what to do, how to think, and what to say, within the context of American law. This, of course, requires independent accumulation of personal wealth, but that can be built by anyone willing to impart commitment upon it. Rebellion and revolution remain founding principles of our nation. Today, political resistance is discouraged in exchange for a public doctrine of peace, yet a mindset of compliance is not what founded our independence. As Historian Wilfred M. McClay reminds us[5], “[w]hen the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in September 1774, it formally endorsed the various forms of lawful resistance to the Coercive Acts, particularly the boycotts, and endorsed a Declaration of American Rights, which expressed the colonial view as to the limited authority of Parliament” (McClay, W. M., 2019, 45).
As U.S. Citizens, (Real Americans) we have the God-given inalienable right to our own individual sovereignty. The right extends to the limitations of the agreed-upon laws, and Constitutional principles which we all equally abide. However, when Real Americans attain some level of influential power to shape legislation and begin to shape society in a way that forces personal financial worship from its citizens, to a depraved and fallen entity, a distinction is created. It is the self-promotion, or individual false ascension to place your own needs above the needs of all others and above God Himself which defies the characteristics of a Real American. “The Americans had always been intractable, rebellious, impatient of oppression,” notes Murray N. Rothbard of the Mises Institute[6].
Pseudo-Americans
To state that there are “Real Americans,” must also mean that there lie criteria that constitutes “Pseudo-Americans.” At first glance, it seems that these must be any American citizens that rejects our Constitutional Republic and advocates other forms of governance. This definition would be entirely false. The difference, no matter the partisanship, is that these nefarious entities do not exist on a civilian level. These are incredibly malevolent dark forces within our federal government, diligently working overtime to undermine our Constitutional principles and sway popular opinion to favor of global legislation and other world agendas.
Beyond demagogue false-narrative legislators and politicians, Pseudo-Americans are bureaucrats. Politically appointed to alphabet agencies by authoritative entities who project replicas of global interests, in turn they neglect, even compromise our domestic affairs. These destructive political operatives exist within our government at Federal, State, and local levels, and collectively hold one similar interest. That is, to redirect our national, state, and local legislations to support global interests, no matter the consequence to America. In this way, the “Real Americans” are used under the guise of “democracy,” to fuel the great Constitutional diversion underway. As Wilfred M McClay states[7], “Being a land of hope may also mean, at times, being a land of disappointment” (McClay, W. M., 2019, xiv).
Education is another right granted to all Real Americans. As Americans, we are able to obtain the complete scope of information required to make an accurate personal assessment of a situation during various crises. This means independent journalists, researchers, and citizens can avoid persecution from various institutions when operating objectively within the context of the law. This principle has diminished in recent years with the influx of national persuasion against the potential use of misinformation. Real Americans are granted full permission to apply critical thinking skills to discern fact from fiction. While some governments around the world actively seek to silence alternative information, it remains illegal for the American government to dictate what we can and cannot think, say, or believe. Yet foreign leaders across the world collude with pragmatic politicians, medical institutions, and U.S.-based international corporations to depose America’s remarkable and versatile configuration. For this reason, its essential to make a distinction in order to recognize, conserve, and preserve the founding principles which bind together the guaranteed liberties granted to each citizen. Revocation of personal human rights is non-negotiable, yet must be routinely considered and defended.
Divine Right
Divine right is another principle that differs wildly from other forms of previous known governance. Prior to America, Kings, Queens, and elite rulers were the only ones worthy to hold Divine right. As a result, those that reigned in power were able to command the affairs of the masses while the actions of society’s political agenda sat far removed from public opinion. Unlike early Spanish and French monarchies that embraced centralized power and absolutism through a Divine Right, Real Americans hold a distinctly different approach. In America, each citizen is viewed as holding their own “Divine right,” that is, God-given inalienable rights granted by our Creator, which sits apart from government intervention. To “Real Americans,” religion, individual choice, and personal belief are not subject to government persecution, should they reside within the criteria of legality. This means that every citizen is given the right to private and personal communication with God, and the right to individually contribute to society in whichever way we see fit. This granted liberty relies on merit. This is, skill and value are required in order to contribute to specific sectors of society. As American citizens, we have an equal right to attain those positions in accordance with our personal interests, skills, education, and experience. Education and experience can be obtained without facing discrimination based on personal beliefs. Today many Americans unintentionally take our sovereignty for granted, exchanging their independence for insubstantial government assistance, alongside an impermanent sense of security among the havoc. Pre-America, McClay reminds us, “[s]uch equality as we insist upon today did not then exist anyplace in the world” (McClay, W. M., 2019, 34).
Biblically, the Holy Spirit reveals to us that Divine right is not artificially exclusive, but directly granted by God. 2 Peter 1:3-5 (ESV) “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.” The Declaration of Independence states that[8] “all men are created equal” and “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,” pointing to a “firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence,” invoking a sense of “sacred Honor,” as described by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston (Archives). It was by these objective “self-evident” truths that the U.S. Constitution was created, our inalienable sovereignty, and the concept of a “Real American” was created.
Conclusion
For this reason, the “Real Americans” must begin to take back our country, one step at a time. This happens by placing our voices independently into the collective narrative propagated by the global establishment. This does not mean breaking laws or inciting violence. This does not condone the national reconfiguration of world order to fit the needs of the Establishment, America should not initiate civil wars outside the interests of our national security. Instead, taking back our country requires the revocation of access from the criminals who have hijacked our domestic legislation in favor of personal wealth and concerning foreign interests. While U.S. citizens and American families of our nation struggle to attain their basic needs, Pseudo-American sway the mainstream narrative to encourage the public into strategic social division, initiating a mass distraction. Real Americans must disregard the obstacles within the public square in order to take back the foundational structure repressed by the Establishment. The same maleficent force that continues to encroach on our civil rights and discourage Supernatural faith in a superior entity. Pseudo-Americans want you to believe that your Real American rebellion is anti-American and therefore a threat to our democracy. Our nation’s threat lies not within the body of the people but those operating against the public interest and the well-being of communities in national, state, and local influence. Real Americans hold the key to the future of this nation, as the answers reside within our original founding documents, their amendments, and current legislation. Definitive labels aside, “Real Americans” or law-abiding American citizens function as the instrumental tools of policy that preserve, sculpt, and defend the liberties of our nation, paving the way for future generations.
