American Or Something Else

The progressives‘ view of equality seems to be, unity through division? Listening to President Trump I heard him speak about, America first, about his agenda to help ALL Americans move up. But most importantly he spoke about unity, the unity of spirit, the unity of all Americans coming together to keep every American on top.

So, why is that a bad thing? Is some how asking Americans to be proud wrong? Is saying “When you open your heart to patriotism there’s no room for prejudice” wrong? I guess I will never quite understand the thought process of a progressives’ mind.

When a conservative talks about unity we don’t usually list all possible parties involved. In most cases we would just say everybody or all of America. On the other hand the progressives have perfected the art of “hyphenation.” Whether it’s Native-American, African-American, transgender-American, LGBTQ- American, Latino-American they seem to have a hyphen for every American. But even within these groups of hyphenated Americans they separate themselves.

If you’re not a Federal Government hating Indian, well you’re not really down with the struggle. If you’re a conservative and black, look out! Then you’re just an Uncle Tom! Are you a pro-life female? Well then you’re of no use to the progressive agenda. And what about gay? Are you a gay conservative or maybe just an independent thinker?

Well, that is just not acceptable to the left. That’s why people like Crystal Wright, Stacey Dash and Milo Yiannopoulos are either not invited to speak at events or are shouted down at them.

The real problem isn’t just the fact that they have hyphenated every group or that they don’t have full inclusion within those groups.

It’s that they have created the groups. For some reason, they have decided that the only way for true, full equality and unity is to first divide us all into groups and then bring us all together in our separate groups. But doesn’t that still keep us separate? We can celebrate our diversity as a nation without it dividing us as a people.

I will close with this quote from Teddy:

“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.” “This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.” Former President Teddy Roosevelt 1915
