That was a great backstory on our national emblem. I love my country. A God-inspired, magnificent nation that perpetually strives toward freedom and liberty -- for all. E Pluribus Unum (from many, one). We speak English. Assimilation was expected from the beginning of this nation. And is still expected today. Honor her. Respect her. Or get the hell out. Those that choose to wave a different flag and spit on ours need to make sure they take their flag with them when they leave. We are the world's last great hope . . . fight for her!
