In today's America, everyone can be offended but Americans.
We are a country of immigrants — legal immigrants.
We are a country formed around religion — the Christian religion.
Our flag is the American flag. No, our flag is on the ground being stomped on, and going up in flames — with the Supreme Court's blessing — while being surrounded by flying Mexican flags, or sometimes ISIS Flags. As if the fighting at the Alamo never ended?
Our young citizens are sent off to war to shed their blood, physically and mentally alter their lives — without the proper V.A. care — or worse, die, only to give up what they fought for, and won, with an early exit, only to soon resume the same fight for the same territory. Many American citizens supported this early exit.
If you shoot the American Bald Eagle, our government hopefully will still arrest you, but if you have a field of hundreds of windmills our endangered American Bald Eagle is allowed to die in masses with our government's blessing.
Gays and transsexuals now have a place to go to the bathroom when in a public place — where were they going before?
Can't teach religion in school, but can teach Muslim religious history. How do you teach religious history without teaching some type of religion?
We recognize a never-ending war on women, racism, poverty, drugs and now climate change, along with fighting for Islam. Why is it we don't recognize the war on America, Americans, American lives, American language (English), American religions, our American jobs and businesses, our American culture and our American Constitution.
And, if we do recognize it, why are not all Americans defending them?
