Saying What We Are Not

Our world has been turned inside out and we are unbalanced by the dizzying heights being reached by bigots and racists trying to say that is what all Americans are about. Nothing could be farther from the truth, on the whole, seeing people - everyone - on an equal level, we are all human beings nothing more - nothing less. We all strive to do what we can in this unfair world of ours, politicians and those in government attempt to keep us unbalanced and in dire need, so they can feel self-important, satisfying their own hunger and agendas of greed. Keeping people down is their particular forte and they have practiced this through the years and have perfected it to the satisfaction of themselves only. Whereas, Americans are only trying to exist, get along with others and make our world a peaceful place for all people to live and be friends. Nothing in our minds, no hatred, racism, prejudice, nothing, it is only when we see others step over the boundaries of decency and law-abiding principles that we become angry. Those ignoring our laws, flaunting their criminal behaviors like a slap in the face, these are the people that raise our tempers and we turn against them for that only. Obey our laws, treat all with respect and dignity and be treated the same in return. It's a simple principle to understand and abide by, those looking from the outside in often miss the symbols of humanity that we American's possess. We tread on no one and want no one to tread on us either, we have our Constitution and our freedoms and we will protect them with our lives. To exacerbate our wrath, go against this honorable principle that we live with and you will strangle yourself with your own unfairness. Not with anything we as Americans have against any of you, there is no hatred of others here, just a rainbow of talented people who hold true to our convictions of freedom and democracy for all. There are only a handful of people that the world is basing their opinion of the U.S. on, and they are the racists and bigots that live in every country - they do not represent the people who live here.
