A True American

America was and is an idea born in heaven, whose time is forever                                                              

There will not and must not be any attempt to destroy one's creed or faith                                               Rules of law demand the curtailment of any action endangering others                                        Understandably, I must accept your person, but may disapprove your practice                                       Equal rights are to be both individually distinctive and mutually shared by all                               

Affirmation of the individual helps to advance the finest ideals ever conceived                                     Melting pots, mixing bowls, majority ruled governments without mob mentality                                                                                             
Enemies are not targets for destruction; but are sometimes prospects for change                  Righteousness exalts a nation; sin is a reproach and destructive to any people*           Inclusiveness is when no individual is excluded, and all individuals are included                 Centralizing balanced by localizing, creates the advancement of the civilized Acknowledge God and advocate peoples' right to alter or abolish bad government          None, regardless of color, creed, or origin is inferior to, nor superior over another
