> Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American. (From [*National Review Online*](http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-ferrara092501.shtml?ref=dashhouse.com))

[Rachel](http://www.cre8d-design.com/journal/2003%5F01%5F13.php?ref=dashhouse.com) disagrees, and she makes a lot of sense. Read the comments – they’re fascinating. [Joshua Claybourn](http://www.joshclaybourn.com/blog/archives/000223.html?ref=dashhouse.com) weighs in as well. I once heard someone say that Baptists are the embodiment of truth, and that anyone anywhere who holds to truth is a Baptist. Seems to make about the same amount (zero) sense.
