We are a country of Immigrants. No question about that. Because of that we are, as a whole, a nation mostly of people who migrated here for various reasons. Some originally because this continent was a large land of wilderness and unknown resources, thought to be by the rest of the civilized world as a place to live when there was nowhere else to go.
Some of us were sent here as Criminals and Undesirables for crimes as common as stealing a loaf of bread because we were hungry. It was Britain and France who, at the time had little interest in the new land, except for it to be an ideal place to be rid of unwanted humans.
Some of us had really nothing to look forward to where we were, and saw this as a place to at least own our land and be away from the tyranny taking place in our own Countries.
They had heard how the earlier settlers were surviving and able to live on their labors to get by.
Soon,(Figuratively speaking) people from all over the known world were getting word of the New Land and what they could have as their own if they were willing to work for it.
All they had to do was get there! Much more easier said than done, that's for sure. But they did, and by hook or by crook, made their way across the seas and landed here to set up homesteads that would have to be sturdy enough to withstand the harsh winter months that lay ahead year after year.
Just try to imagine clearing enough land by hand so they could grow enough food to make it through the coming winters. Trying to communicate with your nearest neighbor the Eastern american Indian inhabitants who spoke a different language.
There was no choice but to get along and help each other as best they could. They did it though, didn't they? In so doing they created the heartiest, most determined nation in the world. A tougher bunch of mixed races and nationalities had never been assembled in the world before.
They all fought side by side to defeat the Monarchial and Dictatorial nations who, with greed in mind,would have taken everything the unwanted "Throw-aways" had worked for to get where they were.
Most of us are descendants of these rugged people I speak of, and darn proud of it too!
We survived the battles against Naziism, Totalitarianism, Marxism and all the other 'isms I can think of , just to be confronted by a group of people from within our own borders who, as a powerful few, would change our life as we now know and made of it, to a system that has already failed time and time again all over the world.
But you know what? They're about to take on the most diverse, well oiled group of Patriots in the world, and because of the mixed ethnicity, the toughest, bar none.
In light of what's going on today, we need to continue to stick together as one nation. Together we stand tall, but divided we fall and someone's trying to divide us. The old divide and conquer trick is in play as I write. Just sayin'.
