Happy Independence Day!
Today, while in the car, I was listening to NPR. (When I'm not in the car, I listen to WIAMRADIO.COM. If you haven't listened to this internet station, you're missing a delightful experience.) Sorry for the detour! They interviewed two people who were advocating rewriting US History for the emerging generation, stating that 1776 means nothing to them other than "white supremacy" and "capitalism."
My heart is heavy and deeply troubled to think that a constitution built upon the cornerstone "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness," would be labeled "white supremacy" and "capitalism."
How many times have you said, how many times have I said, "Only in America." And it is true. No nation on earth gives people the opportunities to fulfill one's dream like the good old USA. Only in America can you be born in poverty and become President. Our history isn't perfect because people aren't perfect, but what we have as Americans most people can only wish for.
We are NOT English Americans, Latino Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Italian Americans, Irish Americans, German Americans, Indian Americans ... and the list goes on. WE ARE AMERICANS period. "We are One Nation Under God," not a Divided Nation Under God.
