What does it mean to be an American?

Random teens interviewed on the street being asked “what does it mean to be an American?”.

The responses are appalling, although I don’t just lay the blame on the public school system. It’s also the parents teaching their children this “What have you done for me lately” type attitude that enables these kids to think that don’t owe anything to America.

Does this reflect the irresponsibility of liberal parents who “claim” they support America, yet don’t promote American values in the home? Seeing the reaction of these teens shows how un-involved the parents are in these kids lives when it comes to being an American. It’s almost “un-cool” or “nerdy” or “lame” to know what it means to be an American.
