American Party

A party without color. A party based on ideals. A party based on a written document. A written document which a country was founded upon. A party who holds no allegiance to people, countries or organizations outside our borders. A party who cares about Americans. A party that doesn't care where you are from, or where you came from. A party that doesn't care who your parents were or where they came from. A party that cares about who you are and what you are. An American. Because within our borders we have differences. Differences of geography. Differences of economy. Differences of opinion. Differences of race. Differences of religion. Differences of values.

But THEY don't care about our differences.

Outside of our borders were are but one people. American people. THEY would burn a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant manager from North Carolina and smile with glee. THEY would burn an unemployed black single mother of two from California and smile with glee. THEY would burn a Native tribal leader from a South Dakota reservation and smile with glee. They would burn a Hispanic Catholic priest from Texas and smile with glee. THEY would burn a Jewish teacher from New York and smile with glee.

Only we see the differences.

THEY see one people and those people are one enemy. American people. The American enemy. It is time we see ourselves as THEY see us. As one people. American people. It is time to protect who we are from THEM. It is time to embrace our heritage.

Our American Heritage.

We can be one people. If we want it.
