I have had this hub name "American" for quite some time but I could not motivate myself to choose a theme for this American Hub. The motivation finally came on November 3, 2009. Following is the short story of how I was motivated to write the American Hub.

My health is failing and it is now necessary to take a nap almost daily, for many this is normal, but it is not for me. Yesterday, as I awoke from my nap, a dream I had during my nap kept running through my mind, over and over, I could not shake it. For the life of me I could not understand why the dream ended as it had. If I could not understand the end, it was impossible to understand the meaning of the dream.

It finally came to me, and when it did I was deeply impacted by its' meaning, and the motivation came to finally write the American Hub.

The American Dream, I had:

There were four characters in this dream, a young lady about 25 years old, her two children, and a stout, rugged, tough man.

The dream began with the young lady walking down a road with her two children. As she walked on the burly man came along side her. Her attention was focused on the road ahead of her. As she walked on she continually looked over at her children.

The man began to scold this young lady as she trudged forward, "You foolish lady, you will never make it!" But she stayed focused and continued on. The further she walked, the harder the path became to walk. After some time, and many negative remarks from the man, she was then seen with her children crawling on the ground through mud, busted glass, sharp steel etc.

After several miles of this the young lady and her children were almost physically destroyed and the man continued to badger her and her children. This man was not affected by the journey and remained strong.

The scene then moved to a location high off the ground, she had taken her children up high in an effort to make the journey somewhat easier, but she became very weak and could hardly continue any further.

When I awoke from this dream it was to the fact that she had died in her pilgrimage, and just as the man had said, she did not make it to her destination.

I was very troubled by the way this dream had ended, the ending did not appear to fit, as I pondered I thought that this dream should have ended with the young lady reaching her destination and goal.

It then hit me that this young lady represented the heart of those who founded our great Nation. Not only were our founders willing to die for the cause of freedom, many of them did die. And my friends, this is what we face in America today, will we pay the price to stop our leaders from destroying the freedoms that make this Nation America?

Another point I noticed in this dream was the fact that this young lady was not only pursuing freedom for herself, she was concerned about her children and the freedom of the next generation.

And one last thing, the point is not that she died, the point is that she died trying! She did not set on her rear and talk about it, she took action.

I must be bold and honest with my readers, if you are one of those who are backing the socialism which the republicans and democrats are pushing down our throats in America, you are my enemy! And it is sad but true, many today who say that they are an American, are liars. The word American is meaningless if it is not backed by the same substance that our founding fathers had.

Well, I just wanted to share my dream, and I pray many of you will awaken from your sleep and remember what it meant to be a true American. Feel free to bash me, to trash me, or join me in my disgust.

Thank you,

Robert

An American is not what we see today in most of America. I will explain what an American is, and how one determines what an American is. The issue before us is that the meaning of what an American is, has changed from the original meaning. What it meant to be an American in 1776, is far different from what it means to most in America in 2009.

This problem is identical to the meaning of a Christian in 2009. There are multitudes who say that they are a Christian, but when you discover what the meaning of Christian is, you quickly learn that there are few true Christians in 2009. The meaning of Christian to most today, has a far different meaning in 2009 than it had in 100 A.D.

Jesus said; Matt. 7:21-27  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

I just wanted to alert those who visit this American Hub, the biggest search engine has removed this hub from their index. This is not the first time I have had this happen, it seems that someone at the top does not like sites that promote the Constitution and The Bill of Rights. My reply to them is if they do not want to back and support America, get out!

In the meantime you can all help by leaving links to this hub at all the social media websites and any site on the web that supports real Americans.

If my opinions appear to be radical to you, perhaps it is because you have lost sight of what it means to be an American.

It should concern every American when Muslim hate groups are allowed to preach hate and death to Americans on the streets of New York, yet when someone who loves America speaks, they are silenced by the corporate powers in America. If this does not raise warning flags to you, you may already be dead and just don't know it yet!

If you read my comment in the comments section about the Patriot Act, please copy and paste the following list of Congressional emails into the Share This Hub area. Email them and ask the simple question as I did, Are You Going To Stand Up?
