AmericanismAmericanismOur country, The United States of America, bases its self, on our eclectic mix of races. These variations are what makes us American. Although, we are very patriotic, many other countrys view our impurities as handicaps. As metals can be mixed and combined to create new metallic substances that are entirely unique,similarly, we are manufactured using multiple races,that, when combined, produce a new “alloy” of human; the American.
Not only do we retain our own cultural distinctions from the “old country” we take part in other peoples. For example, many of todays restaurants offer ethnic fair. However, their respective ethnicities are rarely the most common consumer of their foods. From Asian cuisine such as Korean, Chinese, and Thai to Latin cuisine from Spain, Morocco, and Mexico.What type of people do you see at these restaurants? Americans. Therefore, one will find that typical American cuisine is commonly derived from multiple ethnic sources. Louisiana, one of the most culturally diverse states in the United States, has a high population of French descendants, and due to its geographic location, is also highly influenced by Spanish, Carribean, and African cultures. These multiple cultures, in addition to a plethora of others, combined and created a completely new American culture known for is Mardi Gras, Zydeco and Gumbo. These people are not French, African, or anything else. They are American, or more specifically Louisianan.
Although America has a rather abominable reputation when it comes to racial bigotry, it should be noted that today, especially in these troublesome times, race is indifferent. Americans stand together. Immigrants no longer belong to their countries of origin, upon entering they are forced to swear allegiance to their new country. However their allegiance is far more then an oral pledge. September 11, 2001 was a dark day in our history, but, despite the terrorists intentions, we became even more united. That day, everyone was an American. Today we fight an endless, and seemingly pointless battle to end terrorism. And although certain victory is unclear, our American voice is clear. Nothing will separate or destroy us.

October 8, 2001. In a speech, former President George W. Bush stated that the United States wanted to be known for helping people. “With our president’s words, I hope America will have its way and become the first country in the world to make it a crime to fight for the rights and freedoms of those who have the power to resist and resist,” Bush said. As people watched, Bush spoke of how he would see his policies changed. He promised he would bring a greater level of involvement than had been had in the past. Bush suggested that the United States would continue to fight to keep our borders open and that Americans could vote in a national referendum, saying, “We’ve been making this country a better place — a safer place, we’re better, we’re better together.” The president emphasized that he wanted to be a “good mother” and promised those of us who supported him the same opportunity he and his party will bring them. Americans believe in the “American Dream.” On May 11, 2001, in a speech during the first Presidential Debate, Bush said, in reference to the fight that is taking place for freedom on the Hill, that he also intends to bring this dream to this party. Bush’s dream might be seen as the most important one in life since the “War on Terror” in World War II that has become a popular belief in the 21st century, but Bush has repeatedly said that the dream has not been put forward too often and that the “war on terror” had the effect of eroding it. “I want to make sure that Americans go out there for who they are, who they love, who they believe in, who they will never have come back to see them again,” he said. He also wants to send the message that people will never come back from the streets. Bush promised that the U.S., like other countries, would not tolerate any kind of government that is based on fear — for fear of the Islamic State. Instead, he promised, America would do everything possible to defeat them so Americans would have the chance to vote for the right people. President Bush also said in the debate that he was proud of the intelligence that he had on 9/11. “There’s just something so exciting about what we’re doing,” Bush said. With just over two months to go until the election, however, the economy came down in a major way and Bush was out at the polls at the end of October with only just more weeks to go until the election. But despite the campaign trail and national press frenzy, the economy was stronger than ever in September and was poised to pick up momentum in coming months as the economy strengthened. The economy contracted at a 3 percent annual rate to January from in December and was up by 2.1 percent since late September
