The American Trinity: The Three Values that Make America Great | 5-Minute Videos

- Nearly every country on Earth is defined by race or ethnicity. Not America. What makes the United States different? Dennis Prager outlines the values that have allowed the American people to flourish and, unlike immigrants almost everywhere else, transformed those who arrived from across the globe into full Americans-regardless of where they were born.
Script:
Race and ethnicity have defined every nation on earth. Except one: the United States of America. It is defined by values.
So, to understand America, you have to understand American values.
They are:
1. “E Pluribus Unum”
2. “Liberty”
3. “In God We Trust.”
I call this “The American Trinity.” I made up the name, but I didn’t make up the values. They are on every American coin.
The first, E Pluribus Unum, is Latin, meaning, “Out of many, one.” When first adopted as an American motto shortly after the American founding in 1776, it referred to the thirteen American colonies becoming one nation. Over time, however, most Americans understood the motto to mean one people from many backgrounds. To quote The E Pluribus Unum Project, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, “Over the years, E Pluribus Unum has also served as a reminder of America's bold attempt to make one unified nation of people from many different backgrounds and beliefs.”
In other words, America doesn’t care about your national or ethnic origins.
This explains why people who immigrate to America assimilate faster and more fully than immigrants to any other country.
Most of those who have immigrated to Europe, from, for example, Turkey - as millions have - are not considered fully German by fellow Germans or fully Swedish by fellow Swedes or fully Spanish by fellow Spaniards. This is even true of the children and grandchildren of those immigrants.
And, just as important, few of those immigrants - or their children or grandchildren - will ever feel fully German, Swedish, or Spanish. But a Turk who immigrates to the United States will be regarded as fully American - as American as any other American - the moment he or she becomes a citizen. And they - and certainly their children - will feel fully American.
Of course, America has not always lived up to this “e pluribus unum” ideal. But the ideal was always there. And it was applied to virtually every immigrant to America.
The second component of the American Trinity is liberty.
Now, you might ask, “Didn’t the French Revolution also enshrine liberty as a central national value? Wasn’t its motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”?

pretty sure race does play a part in usa. the culture is definitely eurpoean in origin.
@@commentfreely5443If no people other than the original English speaking population had ever came here, I would still have my legal and political institutions entirely intact.
@UniverseSpeck Here is liturgical diversity such as Hereford Use, York Use, Sarum(Salisbury) Use, etc. That is diversity to me.
The Creator is unleashing judgment on the US because of all the children sacrifice, idolatry and sexual depravity this land has done. To understand what He does read last chapter of Leviticus.
You can tell I'm American because this video brought me to tears.
I really enjoyed this video. In just over five minutes you completely encapsulated what America represents. That was brilliant.
Outstanding.......every school should be showing this short video weekly.
There's no "liberty" when you force something onto someone else bro.

He said they should show the video weekly. He did not say force people to watch it weekly. That is just you projecting yourself onto others.

"@oldtimefarmboy617 then its a forced showing. But great mental gymnastics there sweet tart"
When you accept taxpayer money you are agreeing to do what the taxpayers want. If you do not like it you can always quit and get a job in the private sector. So, sorry, no one is forcing anybody to show anything. Seems your mental gymnastics can not comprehend the concept of free will.

See look, I can repeat what you say before too. How about them apples. lol
This is the first and last video I show to all of my U.S. History students.
America is hands down, far and away, the greatest nation on earth.
Only to morons who've never left it and been to far superior countries.
My American Trinity is God, Country, Family. I wonder what theirs is.
Liberty, In God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum.
I’ve noticed a lot of stories nowadays have some things in common: Family, Madness, and Fish. Sometimes it’s 2/3. Sometimes it’s all of the above
Wonder no more! Just watch this short video you commented on, and you will know for certain!
@@AidamesI commented before it was live
VERY WELL SAID. THANK YOU.
Very well said. I'm showing this to my kids and my friend's kids.
This is so Thoughtful. Amen
God bless America!
great synthesis, worthwhile discussing 😊 everywhere
I wish there was a British version of this channel. I'm a conservative, but English, and a lot of the USA-centric aspects of Prager I just can't relate to. (in addition to me low key believing the UK is the best country on earth).
Are there any commentators eloquently speaking on behalf of the best of Britain?
One thing I've increasingly become curious about is "colonizing" and how common it has been to dump on Britain for it, but I expect a dispassionate analysis of it is not so clear cut. The criticism probably comes from the "multiculturalism" movement, that is currently leading to Europe's slow suicide.
Sound right?
Go for it in UK! I'm an old guy trying to figure out how to help USA. You do that for UK. Best we can do.
Yes, @@DonTruman.

Nice video!!
This was a GREAT review. Thank you for reminding us all
God bless America

My understanding of E Pluribus Unum is "From Many States, One Confederation" (The motto did precede our present US Constitution.
The teacher vs Athlete pay should be Teachers vs Athletes. 3M teachers earning x 70K = over $200 billion vs 3K athletes x about $4+ million = is about 12-15 billion. Teachers as a whole make about 10 times as much as all pro athletes combined.
And Biggie Smalls pointed out that garbage men make more than teachers
But that would raise taxes and republicants would have heart attack
@@napoleonsolo3784 Actually if you look at who tends to be in trouble for tax evasion...
TEACH THIS TO YOUR KIDS
…and then teach it again.
So basically all three trinities are dead now. It will be interesting to see how the American system continues or not.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of Levin!
Good video. As usual. Don't personally agree with everything about #3, but the algorithm will make sure I get lots of evangelical videos, regardless. 😅
Creator != gawd. In God we Trust was not added to the money for decades after the country was formed. It's a fallacious argument.
Founding fathers were not that religious in a time when everyone was religious. Still that doesn’t convince the religious bunch. They will say something like it was meant even if not said explicitly. Sad really that Dennis devalues his only valid argument - liberty with nonsense like this.
So what else is a creator, from our perspective? If it turns out that humanity was created by a group of magical garden gnomes, they would still be our gods by definition.
@@Aidames what if it turns out humanity created itself? What if you just accept an honest “I don’t know” for an answer. Even though we know the most probable way - abiogenesis and evolution.
@@Letmedoubt Abiogenesis has never been observed even in experiments, so that's a bit premature. Even then, it wouldn't explain where the non-organic compounds came from.
The point is simple. GOD gives you your rights, Man cannot take them away. You can be angry although I'm unsure why. Feel free to substitute the word nature, but the point remains, the bill of rights tells government what it can't do to you.
Amazing.
Thanks
1. Out of many, one
2. Liberty
3. In God we trust
Right on
I know people don’t like that some jobs like teachers don’t get as good a pay as they should but rather than upend the system we should work to better the pay in those jobs. Not saying a teacher should get the same as an athlete who makes millions of dollars a year but you can work on getting better compensation for them without destroying the American system to do it. Where a problem exists it can be fixed without saying “scrap America as is and reinvent her”.
I think we'd be better off if teachers were paid a bit more like athletes. Athletes are (generally) paid according to how well they perform and how much their performance contributes to the success of the team, and those who consistently perform below their capability or who undermine the team get cut.
@@epicnamepwns1242 Good idea. Never get it past the unions or the democrats or RINO’S but good idea. More male teachers in elementary school would help too. So many kids don’t have a father at home with divorce others have an emasculated or soy boy dad that having a male elementary school teacher could benefit them ESPECIALLY the boys. But the female teachers wouldn’t let that happen. Neither would the unions (which also have a lot of estrogen).
The latest thing I've seen is everyone saying they're American. Canadians, Mexicans and folks from South America are "American" now because they're from North or South America. People saying they're American but not specifying the rest.
We are born equal, and die equal, but never live equal.
This is a an interesting idea. I guess the three values before watching. First I thought of Liberty and equality. I was wondering about a third one. I thought of fraternity aka brotherhood. Those are the three values that the French have. The video even refers to that. I greatly admiried the French when they had thier revolution. America and France are very similar in this regard. They had revolutions at around the same time. They value liberty and equality. They even have flags with the same color scheme. It is actually easy to sympathize with the French as a kindred spirit. They even helped us in our revolution. I watched the video. I guess two values are the same. There is liberty and fraternity. There is a nice explanation of E Plubrus Unim. It is about unity. That can be what fraternity is about. When people are unified, they will be like like brothers. I do like the claim in the video that United States is accepting of immigrants regardles of race. Awesome! Lets uphold that even more. Lets have police stop murdering blacks. Lets let Mexicans and Muslims move into America. Lets stop confining Native Americans in reservations. Lets have less racism accross the board. Then there will be more fraternity. Being American means being treated as a brother or sister regardless of race.
There is a difference in that the video had religion and I had equality. I like my idea better. Religion has nothing to do with the founding of America. There can be morality and even inherent rights without a God. Whenever America is involved with religion, it is actually about distance between the two. There is freedom of religion and the seperation of church and state right in Bill of Rights. This isn't worthy of being its own part of the trinity, because that goes under the freedom category. It is best for clergy not to oppress the masses and tell them what to do all the time. In modern times religion is used to justify homophobia and taking away reproductive rights. In Medeval times oppressive theocracy plagued the people. If anybody toes out of line they could risk getting tortured and burned alive. There were colonists that tried to establish an extreme theocracy in the nothern colonies. That ended in failure. People were tired of the opporession, so they revolted. The religious parts of the Bill of Rights are actually the ideas that the rebels had.
Freedom and equality do go together. I think they are still essential American values. One thing that inherently has no equality is a hierarchy. Heirchy puts people into tiers. The top tier people are deemed better while the low tier people. This is inherently unequal. The opposite of freedom is order. Order is done by an authority. Whenever there is authority, there is always power. The people of authority are on top of the hierarchy. They have power over the people below them. There is control and order this way. The top tier people are the elites. In order to get liberty, one has to get rid of the hierarchy. Only when the the elites are overthrown can there be true freedom. A prisoner can only be free if they overcome their captor in some way. This can be knocking out the captor and escaping prison. Liberty is achieved by getting rid of the hierarchy. There are two positive side effects. One is equality. Without hierarchy there is no tiers anymore. Then everybody is at the same level. They are equal. That is equality. Equality is a natural result of liberty. They are not at odds at all. Another result is fraternity. Without the tiers to separate people, the people go together. They have unity. That forms a fraternity or brotherhood. It is the authority and oppression that tends to separate people. There is separation between the elites and masses. Elites can even use the bottom tiered people as scapegoats. That keeps the middle tiered people and the lowered tiers people separated. Fraternity is a result of equality. Once people are equal, there is no divisive hierarchy to drive them apart. Equal people can come together as a brotherhood. That is cool how I came up with this on the spot. Liberty causes equality. Equality causes fraternity. Liberty, equality and fraternity. Oh my gosh! The French were right. That's awesome. Go French!
The best thing about the American and French revolutions is the innovation. It is a huge improvement to chance from a monarchy to a democracy. Democracy gives a lot more freedom in the government. That also leads to more equality and fraternity. There are more innovations. The Civil War abolished chattel slavery. That freed the slaves from extreme classism and racism. I am commenting the day after Juneteenth. So Civil War is fresh in my mind. The civil rights movement abolished segregation. That gave even more freedom from blacks. There are still problems today. There should be more freedom. There should be less racism, sexism and homophobia. Whenever one seems one kind of person better than another, that forms an oppressive hierarchy. There are hierarchies based on race, gender etc. That needs to stop. If all people were equal there would be more freedom. Whenever minorities are promoted in any way it makes them closer to equality. Their should also be less classism and plutocracy. The class system in capitalism is a hierarchy. The corporate ladder is a hierarchy. It is about the bosses controlling the workers and exploiting them for money. There should be more freedom by changing the economy. The difference in class should go down. Workers should have more say in their workplace. This can be done through a union or some similar structure. We should bring democracy into the workplace. Workers should have more control and ownership. They should earn more money at the expense of the boss. If workers work hard to produce valuable goods and services, they should be paid fairly for that hard work. They shouldn't just be paid a small wage while the bosses reap most of the reward. Meritocracy is a good idea. Let's allow people to actually move up. The rich confine the poor people to poverty regardless of how hard the poor people work. Inequality in wealth is not due to freedom. If anything it is due to oppression and control. America is not a meritocracy. It actually shows signs of a plutocracy. What this video says about freedom and wealth is misleading at best. What is it with Prager U video and completely ignoring these glaring issues. I noticed this tends to occor when these videos talk about the economy. One example is makers and takers. I would like to clarify this. The liberals and workers are the makers. The workers actually do the hard labor to create valuable goods and services. The conservatives and the bosses are the takers. The bosses take away the valuable stuff that the worker owned fair and square. If anything, any government welfare a worker gets can work as a reimbursement or reparation. The government takes money from bosses and pays for benefits to workers. This is something that should have happened through a fair wage. Ideally a union would help. If the government intervenes, that works too. The ends justify the means. Dude! If someone knows about the extreme classism, would that count as woke. This is something that is blatantly obvious to the poor. It is not talked about in politics nearly enough.
Becomes a citizen is the catch phrase.
Not only USA, but Brazil and Yugoslavia too.
Yugoslavia?
My American trinity is small government, small government and small government.
Amen, brother. Wish more republicans agreed with that not in words only but in their actions. The left always promises to promote personal freedoms and restrict economic freedoms but delivers only the latter. The right always promises to promote economic freedoms and restrict personal freedoms but delivers only the latter.
"Ending up equal" - is actually a communist value, well, stated value
Interesting how Jordan Peterson comes to the same conclusion about equality of opportunity and outcomes from a psychological and biological view, not political. That is, the physical and mental damage caused by forcing equality of outcomes.
Three ideals that made the United States the number one choice of immigrants from most parts of the world
1: That we can think for ourselves
2: The golden rule
3: The melting pot idea
What our family celebrated (were to God we could still do so) on Independence Day was not so much a place as an idea - the idea that we don’t need monarchs or aristocrats or clergy tell us what to believe or what to do and not do.
If we wouldn't want civil government to promote beliefs with which we disagree about the universe and humans’ place or role in the universe, the golden rule prohibits us from urging that government promote our beliefs about the universe and humans’ place or role in it. If we wouldn't want government to enforce prohibitions with which we disagree, the golden rule prohibits us from urging that government enforce OUR personal taboos or prohibitions.
The melting pot idea was that the culture of the United States benefited from the strengths of many cultures from many parts of the world to the extent that people from those various places mingled with each other and learned from each other. Sadly, that idea has largely been replaced by the salad bowl idea - that the ideal is for people from various parts of the world to “maintain” their native cultures by remaining aloof (in cultural enclaves) from the general population of the United States. We are being impoverished by this shift in thinking.
I know the trinity. If you know, reply here.
#1 is not a difference in how much we value and love our felllow man, but rather a lack of patriotism in european countries.
People come to america to become americans. People come to europe knowing that they can live in a parralel society that in some instances is so different from what that society is founded on that's it's in practice anti-european.
In europe we love all people, regardless of race and religion etc. Just as you do. It's just that immigration here has been more extreme (atleast until recently) and a lot of people has come here illegally and caused huge problems and divides.
It's a statistical fact that immigrants from some countries don't want to or can adapt here. They do not work and are extremely overepresented in crime. Even the children of immigrants, which in many cases are even worse.
You simply cannot say that this difference between the U.S. and Europe is due to a difference in values, when it clearly is due to a difference of other circumstances.
Make Nationalism Great Again
Make it not worship of natalism but a vector of purpose
Honesty, sincerity and integrity are top of my list. If only the Demowokes had priorities. (or conscience 😮)
I'm confused. Is America great or not? You keep saying it isn't now you say it is.
Embrace the Trinity; declare Jesus as your Lord, believe in your heart that God the Father raised him from death and you will be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit (Romans 10:9).
I came to America in 1963, I was 13, from a wee tiny island in Shetland, Scotland. Five years later I went to Vietnam; that's when I became an American Citizen. Just because you get here doesn't mean you are an American. Rome became so full of itself that, by the end, brought on the end, their military was filled with Non-Romans. It counted on it's ancient reputation for its protection. Surly once someone got to Rome and saw the obvious benefits, all would want to be a Roman, a Citizen of Rome...and like Rome we are too fat and unappreciative of those before us, or care less about those before because they are not ME. I live as I did on my island, as my parents and people on the island told us, but more important than that, they SHOWED us how to act. We are TOO EASY and that's WHY things are where they are. The Chinese, though i'd imagine all cultures have similar sayings, but the Chinese say: the happy man is the man who knows his boundaries. Here, in The West we have NO BOUNDRIES so there is no way to see your uniqueness, anything that looks like a Culture. Every 65 minutes of EVERYDAY a Veteran puts a bullet in his ear. No other group of people has such a tragic statistic. But of all groups no group is more put upon than the military. If you want a say in any group you must have "skin in the game". Only those of us who have braved the bullets and bombs of war should have a say if WE go to war. You MUST EARN your voice. But you must have people who understand the logic in the service of your country and your people. I've been to war. That war of mine was NOT of my doing. The people who start the wars have NEVER been to war and have no intention of doing it now; so they send your kids and kin to be ruined while they and theirs PROFIT from your families loss. Most all the people I know who went to war do NOT want war. You don't deserve the right to vote (et al) until you've done something for everyone...by the way, military service, like the service I was in and those before me were in, is SLAVERY. You DO NOT have a life. Your life is now in service to everyone. You are told what to wear, when to wear it, how to wear it, and you could be thrown in "jail" at the whim of someone with a higher rank then you. You, in the military, are there to guard The Constitution who's protection you give up when you are in the military. You see, as a military person you are now under a special law, The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Even a murder in prison has more protection and freedom than do you in the "real military".
Actually some professional athletes DO make less than some doctors and teachers. Just as the WNBA! 😉

The idea that a nation can be defined by values is ridiculous. Values, by definition, are universal, something a nation cannot be.
How are they universal? We are dramatically different from marxist or sharia countries.
I doubt that the former slaves that were promised land and a mule after emancipation were aware of these "values" 😅
Her derr!! Gotcha!!!! Derrrrrr!!!
I doubt that former chattel slaves are still alive. Do you care as much about the sex slaves Biden has been allowing to be brought over the border??????? How about the ones in China making your shoes???????
First sentence: Race and ethnicity have defined every nation on earth except one, the United States of America.
That's where the canadian in me said "f that egotistical self centered crap". Let's find something else to listen to.
Lol it's the dumbest sentence ever. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of American history is slavery lol
Greed
Ignorance
Hypocrisy
Yes, that's the Trinity of the left. You listened.
Like YOUR country has any values. 🙄 Or culture for that matter….
@@lisachapman6492 No these are conservaturd values.
Number 1 - Support Israel. Right Prager?
Yes.
There's an argument that supporting Israel's number one, our only true Ally in the region and the only country in the Middle East that supports human rights and equality for all citizens under the law regardless of religion, race or sexual preference like us
That's not in the video, but what's wrong with supporting Israel?
If you don't want to support an ally against people that want to destroy you, you're the problem.
100%
I think this is a very interesting video, but I think Prager is largely wrong about what American values are. At the end of the video he mentions how many Americans want to change these "American values". If a majority of Americans, or even just a sizable minority of Americans, want to change them they are not Americans values. For national values to be national values, they have to be something the vast majority of the nation naturally wants. So Americans wouldn't be at risk of losing them or changing them if they were actually American values. I also dislike how he implies that "American values" are inherently better than European values. He is treating American democracy like a religion again. I like to think Christian values are better than both American values and European values. But as much as I disagree with Prager, I at least respect his effort to understand what our values as Americans are. It is certainly a question worth asking ourselves.
The problem with "liberty" as Prager defines it--also often called "equality of opportunity"--is that, at best, you can have it for a single generation. Then you end up with progeny that begin at different points due to their parents' choices, which leads to unequal opportunities.
This still works if we neglect individual liberty and consider only, say, the liberty of a bloodline. But bloodlines aren't people, so I place little moral import in them.
Equal opportunity means you can pursue whatever aim everyone else can. Doesn’t mean you get to have an equal start. It wouldn’t be fair if parents couldn’t provide benefit to their children.
@Letmedoubt Then liberty is trivial. Any country in which a rags to riches story is even theoretically possible can claim to value liberty by your standard.
Probabilities cannot be ignored. Their equality is what makes games fair, for example. You wouldn't want to play a game with me if I got free mulligans with cards, or free rerolls with dice, just because you could still theoretically win.
Because we do not live in an aristocracy and even the most privileged can fall on their lack of merit just as the talented can rise on their own, @@justinsims655.

I'm Brazilian. This video message is very important. So, other important thing is influence of USA in another nation. So the values and prosperity of USA will affect the World. His fall, too. What we see happen in USA, in little time happen here in Brazil too.
It benefited from high quality immigrants. It's now failing because of mass low quality immigrants.
It’s also failing because of low quality “leaders”
Are you referring to the people who come here illegally? Then I agree.
I get your point, but I think you're missing the mark. WASP Americans in the early 1900s thought that southern & eastern Europeans were "low quality" immigrants. Italians et al turned out to be great, patriotic Americans, minus the Italian mafia. The difference between then & now is Ellis Island. There was a screening process for coming into America. Now, it's a free-for-all and no one knows who's entering. Is this immigrant a decent, hard worker who'll become a good American? A criminal intent on brutalizing Americans? A terrorist intent on destroying America? No body knows because the Biden admin doesn't care & opened the flood gates. Treason. That is the point.
Illegals and too many people who don’t care about assimilation and our nations values. They don’t care about their neighbors or country.
When did the US have high quality immigrants?
Great work Dennis! Scooby snacks for you.
Praying for Israel and the entire Middle East.
My allegiance is to Liberty, and the Repubic.
I was a godless heathen for the first 24 years of my life, and only when I finally accepted the word of god as truth, and Jesus as my savior did I finally start to have a good life and make good decisions that bettered myself and the people around me. Before that moment everything was just chaos and disorder, with a never ending amount of suffering to be had for myself and anyone who associated with me.
Jesus is the way, and the life my friends. To worship any false idol will bring only doom.
It's impossible to guarantee equal outcome of 2 kids raised in the same home, how can anyone expect an entire population!?!
I don't think America expects an equal outcome. In fact this video expressed that. But America does present opportunities that are offered to all equally. It is the best system that has been tried in this world. But, corruption, greed, and self-interest are doing their best to bring America down.
We won't give up that easily.
My wife was born and raised in Germany. She is probably a better citizen than many Americans born in the USA. She has grabbed onto the idea of America with both hands and ain't letting go!

I am not religious, but I acknowledge that a country of people who believe in gd and attribute their rights and freedoms and love for each other, their families, friends, country, and freedoms to that g*d is a formula for success. Whether or not that gd is the same or exists or people are of different religions, it's still a formula for success.
You’re not religious but you just can’t spell god? I don’t believe you. Yeah, no matter what that god is believed to be teaching it still gonna succeed. Remember the aztecs? Their god demanded human sacrifices. Haven’t actually helped them much.
I like the way he says li berty!
MERICA!!!!! Ya not like cliches. The thing about him is they're true.that being said-Land of the free and home. of the brave. Love it or leave it.
does jesse lee peterson get another interview?
I think this definition of equality is colloqually known as equity.
Because “equality of outcome” takes too long to say
The notion that Europe values “equality of result” is fundamentally absurd. It’s not like doctors in the UK or France or Denmark have the exact same salary as teachers or factory workers. That’s ridiculous.
Yes, as someone who actually lived in a European country, I raised my eyebrows at that. But I think he means the current woke regimes in most EU countries, and the EU itself.
It's not something Europe has achieved, but it is a major aspiration there. In America, it's only the far left which demands equality of result.
@@Nonamearisto Since the leadership of the EU is currently occupied by the far left, that checks out.
Good presentation that covers the basics of the battle (unnecessary and self-inflicted) going on now. Slavery existing at the time of the Declaration and Constitution didn't corrupt the documents, the human behavior was corrupt and below the document principles.
2 Corinthians 3:17 (KJV) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
USA is certainly the loudest champion of all these values you profess in your video and probably more like democracy, equality, etc but when it comes to practice then US actions are less than ordinary.
I agree with everything except the anti-equality message. Also, the Europeans founded our country, so why do you hate them so much?
Dennis Prager forgot about Australia lol
Demonic, bondage and idolatry.
Good bless America!
Free speech
How bout you guys talk about the “antisemitic” speech laws in place in this country. Hypocrites. Cowards
If yall support speech laws of any kind
Who is the "yall" you think you are talking to in this comment?
Any body too sensitive and stupid to realize without the right to speak freely we dont have much else
I agree, there is no such thing as hate speech and speech is not violence. As long as you don't infringe on someone else's rights you can say what you wish.
Be careful not to confuse equality and equity. Americans have had equal opportunity. Europeans and Canadians have equity... that means equal outcomes without equal effort, training, or experience. Equity means communism, not liberty. American democrats want equity... not helping to pull people up, but bringing everyone but their chosen elites down to the least common denominator. Equity means equal misery and poverty when fully implemented.
"Europeans" certainly do not have that. Europe is not a country.

I left the U.S. 13 years ago. I never drank that koolaid.The country and people cannot even find a decent presidential candidate.

I'm a U.S. Army retiree and very much patriotic, I'm also a decades long Atheist, albeit not a militant one, and the assertion that the nation was founded on any religious ideal/principle et al seems a bit preposterous to me, especially since the 1st amendment clearly makes the nation secular. Individuals have the right to believe as they so choose, and I will defend that right to my death, but to insist that the U.S. is inherently religious is just wrong.
Is secularism a synonym for irreligious or atheistic?
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 Essentially
Have you not read any of the founding fathers letters, documents or books? While many were devout several were not, the point was freedom to believe as you wish without the government requiring a specific point of view. Kind of apropos in today's freak show world huh?
@@flkayak5613 so basically you agree with me?!?!
@@ExpatriatePaul Not entirely. Religion, without one being established by the state, was still an important part of the founding.
John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”[1] Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free.
"In God We Trust" didn't become the national motto until the 1950s. The original motto (E Pluribus Unum) was more inclusive towards people of different backgrounds, cultures, religions and ethnicities. "In God We Trust" however excludes anyone who doesn't belive in the god of Abraham, which is not a good look for a country which claims to upholds values like freedom and equality.
America does not value ANY equality. We are only equal in God's love. You can have liberty or equality but you can't have both as equal values. The minute there is liberty, people will achieve unequal results. I chose liberty and despise equality. There is no such thing as The Statue of Equality.
Agreed.
You have freedom and equality under the law whether you are Christian or not.
@@GuitarDog_atxnope. Disagree . Declaration of Independence says our rights come from our Creator hence we are one nation under God. The Universal name for the Higher power. Covers all. It also distinguishes us from being serfs to a King, Dictator or the State.
Yes but "In God We Trust" does include everyone who believes in God, regardless of backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities. And If you have no faith in Christ, the law treats you the same as those who do, regardless.
McDonalds, Coca-cola and Hollywood
Blah blah blah
Everyone just say merry Christmas
That way we are all the same
And people can hide
But Christmas is a pagan holiday it has nothing to do with christianity
@@AlAk-bm8dy Except that Christmas is a day set aside for even pagans to honor Christ being born into this world. So it sounds like Christmas has "something" to do with Christianity. I mean you can't have the word "Christmas" without the word "Christ" so your statement sounds just tiny bit ridiculous to anyone with common sense.
@markrichard3364 first they changed the name to Christmas as it had different name it was so tha to convert the pagans of rome and some germanics but I understand where you went wrong was with the name but it still a pagan both historically and religiously
@@AlAk-bm8dybruh, you ok?
@YouT00ber yes I'm OK I was just helping them understand not to follow pagan holidays or rituals
