We the people.
Those three words are the start of the most important document in our nation, the foundation for our society and our way of life, the Constitution of the United States. But it's more than that, as well. Those words are the basic symbol of American unity. These words imply that we are a people, not just 310,000,000 individuals who happen to live in the same place.
We are a people. We are a nation. When the nation succeeds, we all succeed. When it fails, we all fail.
That is patriotism. That is love of country. Anyone who disagrees with this is not only unAmerican, but anti-American. They are against the very essence of the foundation of our country.
The Republican Party has shown itself to be anti-American. No, more than that. Over the past few years, the GOP has bragged about its lack of patriotism. It's shouted its hatred of our nation from the highest rooftops it can, and all the while it's plastered American flags on every free surface. As if we're so stupid that we'd be tricked by that.
