Our culture and identity as a nation are drowning in the “melting pot” our benevolence has created for the world’s oppressed.

One nation under God.

In God we trust.

Merry Christmas.

Happy Easter (complete with Easter eggs, not spheres).

These are part of who we are and we should not have to change them or apologize for celebrating them.

It appears the freedom and liberties our people as a nation fought to win and so willingly shared with others may well be our downfall, for some are trying to suppress our ways and replace them with their own.
