Nationalism not Race
Nationalism is a dirty word. To first feel you belong to a nation sets you apart from the political correctness of race, sex, religion or country your parents may have come from. Nationalism...American...America first....no race, no religion, no political parties....America.
For the idea that the world can be governed by a one world government, have a one world judicial system, have a one world military that can act in every continent of this world demands a death to nationalism. A death to the ideas from the greatest nation on earth that we are all one and we should impoverish our nation to make the world better. This means teaching that every one is equal, where your family came from or the method your family arrived in America is more important then being an American, an American of today.
This nation is young. It is more of an experiment in allowing cultures to blend then any nation in the world has ever allowed. However what has taken place is not a blending of cultures but a defining of cultures in groups threw out America to the point that they are no longer becoming a part of America but forcing the past on Americans and are willing to harm this nation with their cultures.
If you are beyond the religion, cultural, country/continent of origin, sex, or race concept and are calling yourself an American then you are a real American regardless of heritage or religion. If you place any noun in front of the word American you are living the lie both parties have fostered on this nation. To survive with out another civil/race/religious war, to grow as a nation, we the people have to accept one language, one set of laws and that we are very very pro American.
A few years back we were attacked, a few decades back we were attacked, we were attacked because those who hate the USA felt we were weak. Today, if we have a weakness it is because of the poor leadership, having only two parties we are allowed to vote on and multicultural over a common heritage.
Common heritage.......is not what you brought from the old country it is what you will give to this, your birth nation. Common means all. Heritage is different for each generation. But!!!You decide if you are an American, a half American or just stealing from this nation while yearning to go back home.
Today I will charge you to simply state that you are an American. You will work for America. You understand that we as a nation have flaws, but this country, like no other, allows you to grow, be educated and do what your natural limitations will allow you to become. I charge you to become a true American, when asked what your country of origin is say America. When asked race say American, after that be what ever you want...but always state American first!!!!!
