The Census & Your Race — Are You An ‘American”?

2010 Census Form No 9

When you get your official 2010 Census form you will notice that a significant section is devoted to determining your racial identity. On that question number 9, you can do something legal and that will also send a message to the race-obsessed in our government; Check that last box and fill in “American”. And, not one of those hyphenated Americans either. Michelle Malkin notes that Theodore Roosevelt didn’t think much of that type of moniker and quotes this passage from True Americanism:

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all… The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic… There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Remember — for your race, write in AMERICAN!

    It never fails to amaze me how lame lefty trolls are — never met one that understands how to use the “shift” key.

    Irony is wasted on kids, pets, and stupid lefties. Must be all that-there hyer edjukation!
