By Don Jans The term American is widely used. For our purposes we will define American as an individual who believes, supports, and promotes the principles that made America unique at the time of its founding and have been widely characterized as the reasons that the United States became the world’s standard for liberty and for prosperity. I understand what I am going to tell you is not widely taught today, in fact, it is widely disclaimed. This is a standard procedure when an ideology is trying to transform a society to another ideology. Specifically, a collectivist (Marxist, communist, socialist, progressive, Democrats, – all virtually the same) movement has been committed to transform the United States from a nation based on individual rights and liberties to a Marxist totalitarian state adhering to collectivist values of subverting individual rights and liberties to what is termed, the best interest of the collective.
