"We have to fight to protect the American way of life!"

The idea that there is only one, true way of life in a country made up of millions of people in different ethnic, cultural, economic, religious, and social groups, and that anyone who isn't living that way just isn't trying hard enough, is beyond ignorance. It's disgusting.

There is no "American way of life." It is a concept created by the elite in order to convince everyone else that they are where they are in life by their own choice, rather than predominately by factors they have little or no control over.

"Work harder!" they say, while they deny you quality education that will lead to successful occupation and financial stability.

"Stop whining!" they say, when you try to point out inequality in society.

"Be an American!" they say, when you try to point out the fact that America was not founded on the principles of equality for everyone, only the power of a few.
