America to me is written in the first line of the Declaration of Independence, to wit:What does America mean to you
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,"
And,
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The preamble is both a vision statement and mission statement to the posterity of Americans who followed the Founders and Framers.
Within these words in these seminal documents are rejected by some in their threads and posts. They claim to be a patriot and some wave our flag, but they are not patriots nor good citizens, even if they have been told by some in authority they are.
