"My Fellow Americans in the Good Old USA"
I think that almost all of us can say that what we saw in DC today is not what America is all about, nor should this ever be the face we show to the rest of the world. That being said it is easy to see what may have motivated many Good American Citizens to involve themselves with rabble, and indulge in behavior best suited for lessor developed countries than our own. We have a great divide in our country which is hurting all of us. We have seen major changes in the makeup of our country over the past several decades which challenge our traditions, our values, and our faith, as well as our ideals when it comes to what the country of the United States represents.
It is possible that a full half of our citizens embrace these changes without realizing how much some of these things tear at the fabric of our nation. On the other side, there are those who cannot except even the beneficial aspect of the changes in our country. These people are hurt, scared, and angry because they feel that the America which they and their forefathers loved so dear, is disappearing. Many of these are among the folks in DC today doing things that they themselves don't really approve of.
The truth is that change is unavoidable, and is neither all good or all bad. The same is true for tradition. To be able to combine the best of both change and tradition has been a large part of what has made America great over the last few hundred years. There is one other important factor to be considered, and that is wealth and power. We must all decide what we as a country are all about. Is it change? Is it Tradition? Or is it the struggle for wealth and power, and who will steer the ship of state.
It is my observation that many of our politicians and journalists are simply part of the problem in their pursuit of both of these entities, and are not nearly focused as much on what is really best for us the American people.
I hope that as American citizens, we can see the value in all the citizens of our great country. If we fail in this, then the face of what took place in DC today, will end up being the face of America, because when we hate our fellow countrymen, we actually hate both our country and ourselves.
