If we could combine the youthful zeal for liberty with the knowledge and dignity of its experience… well…
…and join with these the higher respect for liberty that comes with sacrificing for it… or that comes with having it denied…
…If we would clothe this liberty in humble reverence to our Maker, who IS its source…

The American Identity has been taken from her people, gradually, methodically, and with forethought and malice.
The American Identity has been whittled over successive generations, so as to finish it, and remake it.
In the face of unbelievable American success, indigenous foreigners have undone it, in the name of what.
There can be no other cause for the dire state of our union, except that we the people have allowed for our fundamental redefining.
