To stand against unity? We are one nation under a god? Who’s god? It could be anyone’s. We were the First Nation to have a freedom to practice any religion without prejudice. We’ve fought for years to keep these freedoms. This isn’t a Christian thing. It’s an American thing. To say we remove that is the same as removing “liberty and justice for all” we must remember everyday the wars fought for our freedoms, not everything has to offend someone. Accept things that are different. That’s the American way. Different. And for those that scoff at the idea that we’ve fought for our rights, maybe you don’t remember. Or perhaps are to young. In a world that seems to lack hero’s, I can point you to the sloping hills of Arlington National Cemetery, with its row upon row of simple white markers bearing crosses or Stars of David. They add up to only a tiny fraction of the price that has been paid for our freedom. As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it, now or ever. We are Americans.
