  • Opposes Policy of Prohibiting the Placement of American Flags on Individual Veteran's Graves in National Cemeteries
    AMERICANISM 2016-2017 MESSAGE POINTS Issue – CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO PROTECT THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES Message Points: The American Legion has campaigned diligently for the passage of an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to protect the symbol of our Nation, the Flag of the United States, from physical desecration. Part of that campaign has included the founding of The Citizens Flag Alliance, Inc., a coalition of civic, veteran, business and fraternal organizations which have come together to persuade Congress to propose a flag amendment. The legislatures of all 50 states have indicated by memorial resolutions to the U.S. Congress that such an amendment to the U.S. Constitution is needed in view of the 1989 decision of the United States Supreme Court (Texas v. Johnson) that invalidated all flag protection laws. Surveys have consistently shown that over 80% of the American people support the passage of a flag amendment. Flag protection amendments have passed the House of Representatives six times previously, only to fall short of the necessary two-thirds supermajority required in the Senate. Since the time of the American Revolution millions of men and women have proudly defended our country under the “Stars & Stripes” and, as a last gesture of gratitude, this emblem of our country is placed upon the coffin of veterans as a token of respect for service rendered to a grateful nation. The American Legion will continue to urge the Congress of the United States to propose and approve an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow the Congress to prohibit the physical desecration of the Flag of the United States.

Those principles of Human Rights’ respect, Republicanism and Individualism characterized life after independence and in today’s America. Those bases helped minorities , the Black-Americans and Women, to stir up to grasp their civil and political rights. On the other side, the American foreign policy knew and still knowing flexibility. The ultimate purpose is to preserve the U.S national security and economic prosperity. 4 ________________ Résumé Le but de cette étude est d’étudier les principes de bases de la révolution américaine(1775-1783) qui sont les éléments fondamentaux de la révolution américaine.

  • Gatshy's Pristine Dream: the Diminishment of the Self-Made I\Ian in the Tribal Twenties
    Gatshy's Pristine Dream: The Diminishment of the Self-Made I\ian in the Tribal Twenties JEFFREY LOUIS DECKER The Great Gatsby (1925) represents the diminishing moral authority of uplift stories in an age of declining faith in the nation's ability to assimilate new im- migrants. Through the eyes of Fitzgerald's narrator, Nick Carrawa; , Gatsby appears in the guise of the archetypal, if somewhat misguided, self-made man in America. Gatsby's upward struggle is inspired by traditional purveyors of nuddle-dass success, such as Ben Franklin and Horatio Alger Jr.. Hovrever, an- other less virtuous narrative of Gatsby's self-making unfolds, which connects our hero's business schemes to the tainted hand of immigrant gangsters. A story of entrepreneurial corruption, accented by the language of nativism, competes with and ultimately foils the traditional narrative of virtuous American up- lift. In this way, Gatsby stages a national anxiety about the loss of white Anglo-Saxon supremacy in the Twenties. Nick informs the reader in the opening pages that, despite his herb's crimi- nal connections, "Gatsby tumed out all right at the end" (6). In orde: to fulfill this expectation, the novel's famous conclusion must elide the narrat ve strug- gle—perpetrated by Gatsby's nativist rival, Tom Buchanan—over the ethnic as well as ethical nature of our hero's enterprise. On the book's final pa ;e, Tom's interrogation into Gatsby's clouded past is displaced by Nick's ins >irational vision of Gatsby's inviolate dream of the New World. The narrator cc nceives a myth of American origins by imagining the Dutch explorers' initiil contact with a virgin continent.

  • TRACING the DISCOURSE of AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM by Aron Tabor
    DOES EXCEPTION PROVE THE RULE? TRACING THE DISCOURSE OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM By Aron Tabor Submitted to Central European University Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Supervisor: Alexander Astrov Word Count: 93,194 Budapest, Hungary 2019 CEU eTD Collection CEU eTD Collection ii Declaration I hereby declare that no parts of this thesis have been accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. This thesis contains no material previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Aron Tabor April 26, 2019 CEU eTD Collection iii CEU eTD Collection iv Abstract The first two decades of the twenty-first century saw an unprecedented proliferation of the discourse of American exceptionalism both in scholarly works and in the world of politics; several recent contributions have characterized this notion in the context of a set of beliefs that create, construct, (re-)define and reproduce a particular foreign policy identity. At the same time, some authors also note that the term “American exceptionalism” itself was born in a specific discourse within U.S. Communism, and, for a period, it was primarily understood with reference to the peculiar causes behind the absence of a strong socialist movement in the United States. The connection between this original meaning and the later usage is not fully explored; often it is assumed that “exceptionalism” existed before the label was created as the idea is traced back to the founding of the American nation or even to the Puritan origins rooted in the colonial period.

  • Burying the Ghost of Degaulle: Anti-Americanism and Ideology in France
    Burying the Ghost of DeGaulle: Anti-Americanism and Ideology in France Introduction The American preoccupation with the opinions other nations hold of the United States can be traced back to the concern that the founding fathers expressed in the Declaration of Independence for a “decent respect for the opinions of mankind.” Benson (1968). Few nations have invested comparable resources into developing, monitoring, and analyzing their international image. French criticism of the United States seems to cause a particular sting, and the French are frequently stereotyped as inveterate anti-Americans. Although French opinions about the United States are far from being the most negative in the world, or even in Europe, (Pew 2009) the French stand out in their ability to attract American ire. This paper examines the ideological loading of French anti-Americanism among the mass public from 1982 to 2006. It finds both a broad tend in shifting ideology, and short term effects of specific political debates. Anti-Americanism does have a long pedigree in France. As described by Phillipe Roger, Anti- Americanism is a discourse shared across French political families (Roger 2002). It has, historically been more prevalent at the extremes of the ideological spectrum. During the cold war both left and right indulged in anti-American discourse, albeit with the understanding on the part of the center left and center right that a security arrangement with the United States was indispensible given the potential threat of the Soviet Union. However, the nature of anti-Americanism differs along the ideological spectrum. If leftist anti-Americanism centered on capitalism, and the deficiencies of the American overreliance on the market, the left was divided on the geopolitical position of France during the cold war.

  • With a Pan-American Umbrella in the Western Hemisphere, A
    Moulton 1 …With a Pan-American Umbrella In the Western Hemisphere, a unique idea developed which encouraged the juxtaposition of the United States and Latin America. As a result of the geographical proximity between the two regions and the division between the ‘Old’ World with its European nations and the ‘New’ World with its fledgling nations, Pan-Americanism emerged during the late 1800s as an ideology which viewed the Western Hemisphere as a union of American nations which should be linked by prosperity and security. By pursuing key concepts such as democracy and stability, the two regions would mature alongside one another, a model of unity within the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (Smith 47). While such an ideology greatly appealed to numerous intellectuals from both the United States and Latin America, Pan-Americanism supporters quickly found their ideology linked to the growing efforts of the United States to establish political and economic hegemony over Latin America (Campos and Prevost ix). Under the pretext of liberating Cuba and Puerto Rico from the continued imperialistic efforts of the ‘Old’ World, the United States entered in 1898 into the Spanish-American War and ensured the independence of Spain’s final colonies in the Western Hemisphere. Although the rhetoric presented by many of the supporters of the United States’ entrance into the war emanated the democratic ideals of Pan-Americanism, the United States immediately assumed a ‘guiding’ role over the two newly-independent nations. With the incorporation of the Platt Amendment into the Cuban Constitution, anti-imperialist reactions emanated from Latin America due to the continued role of the United States’ government in the domestic affairs of a nation which should have received not solely its independence but its sovereignty following its citizens’ wars for independence (Smith 62, 66 – 8).
