AmeriCAN-DO Attitude

Are you an AmeriCAN or an AmeriCAN'T?

Are You a Communist or an American Citizen?

Amazingly enough, though this is an old movie, the message is very appropriate for today’s times.

Some excerpts:

“Our freedom stems from the fact that America is a republic, founded on a constitution, and dedicated to the principle of democracy and the worth of the individual. The people rule.”

“…and if we remember our previous lessons, we know that this economic abundance is possible in America because incentives for progress and other factors built into our dynamic private enterprise system have enabled us to utilize our resources to the fullest extent.”

*****

“If we permit our great system to crumble through the apathy of our citizenship, we shall lose not only our freedom, but our prosperity and our still brighter future.”

*****

“What then must we do as citizens? What are our obligations of citizenship?

1. Understand what makes America tick
2. Understand tactics of communism
3. Understand disguises of socialism
4. Understand propaganda techniques
5. Take interest in education
6. Become active in government
7. Strive for spiritual growth
8. Dedicate part of every day to citizenship
