VD and OB brought this to our attention. Thank you. Look up any word you like, especially those that have been recently redefined to fit the narrative of our enemies.

American

AMER’ICANadjective Pertaining to America.

AMER’ICANnoun A native of America; originally applied to the aboriginals, or copper-colored races, found here by the Europeans; but now applied to the descendants of Europeans born in America.

The name American must always exalt the pride of patriotism. – Washington

 

It was a nation of a people, not of a nebulous “proposition.” This dictionary definition fits precisely with those of the Declaration, the Constitution, early Republican law, and with the general, common understanding of the term at the time of the Revolution and the Founding. Why change it now?
