The United States

[Hagbard Celine]

Not "America." We don't hear Germany calling itself "Deutschland auf Europa." We don't hear Mexico calling itself, "Mexico de America." We don't hear China calling itself "The People's Republic of China of Asia." So stop the madness. The country's name is "The United States." Not "Amerricuh." Not "America." Not "merricuh." THE UNITED STATES. Write your congress men and women.

I have always refered to this country as America, and I likely always will. If another country worth a damn suddenly appears on either American continent, I may consider changing that. Until then, insisting that America should not be called America is Hispandering, and I'll no longer go along with it than I will 'undocumented workers.'

You have got to be kidding me!

READ THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!!!

Then read the Aricles of Confederation adopted by the Second Continental Congress on 15 November 1777....the name of this nation is The United States of America.

::sheesh::

I forgot to mention the Constitution as well....you know...the supreme law of the land...specifically this part:

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Bolding is mine...I don't believe the Founding Fathers would have bolded the original document even if they could have.

Now this is just the dumbest thing I've read in the last century.

Who gives a hairy rats ass what other countries call themselves .........Oooops!! Forgot, the LIBS DO. It's "scandalous" to have national pride........we must level bring ourselves down (Hilary humility) to the level of the remainder of the world and quit calling ourselves "Americans" for criminy sakes!

Haggie .... you never let me down when it comes to proving liberals are stuck in a "group think" mindset.

The country's name is the UNITED STATES. America is the continent we live on. And there are other countries living on it too. You're comments claiming not to "care" what other countries think or say is indicative of the decline in class and education that is slowly eating away at the fabric of our society. It's foolish, manifest destiny bullsh*t to call the country "Americuh." And it makes you sound like a hillbilly. Laugh all you want and call me wrong all you want, but it won't change the fact that you all sound like hillbillies.

A short list of some hillbilly songs;

America The Beautiful - by Katharine Lee Bates http://www.scoutsongs.com/lyrics/ame...beautiful.html

America - Neil Diamond

Living in America - James Brown

God Bless America - Irving Berlin

A short list of some hillbilly movies;

American Pie

Team America

Air America

American Graffiti

So, are all the people involved with the above, praticing in the foolish, manifest destiny bullsh*t to call the country "Americuh"? The use of the word America in all of the the above does refer to the country of The United States of America.

Just because popular culture has embraced the term doesn't make it correct. If Neil Young jumped off a bridge would you jump too? Jesus.

[MtnBiker]

So popular culture does pratice in the foolish, manifest destiny bullsh*t to call the country "Americuh"?

Perhaps we should denounce popular culture? Really, what a bunch of hillbillies.
