O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!


O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!


O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through

wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!
I'm not a caucasian-American, I am an American who is caucasian.
I'm not a woman-American, I am an American who is a woman.

I'm a patriot.

I support and hold in the highest regard those Americans who defend and serve this nation in every capacity.
I hold in the highest regard those who stand with us. 

I love my country with all its faults, its various cultures, diversity, I love we are called the "melting pot" of the world.

I believe in America and the American spirit. The American spirit may be banged up, but it will never be broken.

I'm grateful that I'm free to speak up and speak out against the LAME duck president soon to be removed from leadership after the wreckage and destruction he's caused here at home and around the world. 

I'm grateful to be able to hollar "bring on January 20th so hopefully the healing of my homeland can begin." I'm so sad and disheartened to see my country in such ruin in reputation and infrastructure and left in devistation in the southern portion of the country after the hurricanes, near economic ruin, and lost credibility.

But America is 232 years old and despite everything, America goes on.

President Bill Clinton once said "There is nothing so wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America".
I share that idea and cling to it. That's the American spirit!


Happy Birthday to the United States of America, the good ol USA!
