Hildigunner....America is our name, due to the fact that the official name of our country is:
The United States of America. Even my friends in Canada hold no horror to the distinction and use of that term. The term: States, is even okay in a vulgar or slang sense, i.e.; I live in the States.
Maybe if it annoys you so much, you can use the term: United. There, just trying to help. Me, the guy from the United.

Interesting post.

My understanding is that you are looking at Barack Obama from a tourists point of view. For those of us who live here, "experiencing America" is a little more painful than a tourist who comes to look around and then go home to comfortable Europe. We have to deal with corporate greed and all it's results - no healthcare, no vacation, no help, debt up to our ears, and the helplessness of knowning it will only get worse. So that's what I think of "experiencing America". Barack Obama is a godsend and I hope he manages to finally change the things that are so wrong about this country. That doesn't mean he's going to make it Europe, it means we're going to get a little social justice, thank god.

"True freedom and wealth can only be found in Christ."

Beautifully said. I meant no disrespect to the Bible or to God. I meant that modern people abuse the Bible by applying it to something that is, to some degree, independent of it. For example, in the sixteenth century people abused the Bible by saying that the Bible taught that the Sun moves around the Earth. Religious people eventually changed their minds, but the Bible didn't change and neither did God's moral teaching. I just think that modern conservatives are, once again, in the process of abusing scripture. But God will forgive us if we ask.

And blessings on little Gabriela and her family.

I'm not into politics. True freedom and wealth can only be found in Christ. The Holy Spirit is the only Spirit I care to see moving. Thanks for giving me My Deadly Truth fix. Hope this finds you, your lovely bride and child blessed beyond measure.

@rosy- I checked it out. Interesting.

@fredwrite - Right said fred. There is no one doctrine or one solution to all our problems, there are many. But there is a way which cause less damage than. I call it pragmatism.

@Sharon McPherson - Americanism is unique it a sense that it is culture for itself.

@hildigunnur - I hope America will never be like Europe. I like America the way it is. America referred the what it known to be the USA. When I say "America" nobody thinks "Maybe I'm talking about Brazil". It is a term already accepted.

@staceyjwarner - I watched the movie and the sequel. Interesting conspiracy movies about conspiracies.

"Do you think the United States under Bush was going the right way?"

I think we stop going the right direction when we assume that one person or one set of ideas has all the answers to our problems. I'm almost reluctant to call myself a conservative anymore, because more and more conservatives argue that the Bible, the republicans, or even the U.S. Constitution has all the answers. A basic reading of the U.S. Constitution makes clear that it doesn't have the answers to problems that will come up two hundred years down the road.

This is an excellent topic, 9uy! There will never be a last word on this.

Do you think the United States under Bush was going the right way?

I think making the US a bit (and just a bit) more European won't do it anything but good. For my part I would have hated to live in the US (and what's with the US hogging the name America anyway - isn't America not one but two great continents with lots of more countries?), the country under Obama will hopefully make it a bit more human, a bit less narcissistic and a lot less libertarian.

Or maybe you're joking again...

It's true 'people go to America to experience America itself'.

I think it was Milton Friedman who said, "That Guy Gutraiman is a pretty nice guy, for a socialist." Or maybe it was me thinking it.

Just kidding, my friend. You made me stop and think. I didn't realize you thought about these issues. I really admire our new president, but I think it's wonderful how he's learning that self-government is not dead. Our dear leader is learning first-hand how much we care about freedom and wealth.
