Christians and jews abound, many religions can be found. Freedom of speech endeared. Democratic values they share. Homosexuals and gays parade. Abortion: roe vs wade. All co-exist in this country. This a credit to democracy. The Barack Obama presidency, brought hope to minorities. Amonst problems, americans hope! With resilience they cope. Women have been elevated; this can't be overstated. The statue of liberty, the symbol that guarantees. Children rights and all; this inherited from small. America, what a country! A fifty state democracy. This is the reality. America: land of the free. From land of slaves, to home of braves! Looking to the future; God bless you america!

Tribute to all those who serve and are serving. may your spirit fly!
God bless YOU my friend, for seeing what opportunity this country offers. Yes the melting pot as they say..all are welcome here..we just want all to be free!!! It's hard to beleive that in this great country that woman once were not allowed to voteeven though they WERE Americans.We have come a long way..with a long way further to go.
Thanx for this very insightful, and patriotic write ..JG..
hi jerseygirl50, it is my intention to reach the spirits of folks like you. indeed america has come a long way. it was the courage of the fore fathers that brought you thus far! they proclaimed boldly: in god we trust. and this wasn't just any god, no, it was the god of the bible; of abraham, issac and jacob. and that's a might god. For the sake of your forefathers he has blessed you.

Hello byfaith, It is just so refreshing to hear a nice comment about Americans, when we hear so much negative statements.my prayer would be that all would be able to freely do as they wish..as long as they dont harm others,and know that no harm will come their way. there will always be good and evil, but let each choose as they wish. Both sides of my family were immigrants here, and it was at Ellis island that they came, with the promise of their dreams for their children and a better life!!! i wish this for anyone who really wants it!!!
hi jerseygirl50, seems like your history is right in line with the earliest of americans. i feel your vibes, you are a spirited girl, and that is good. I know america is not perfect but there are a lot of positives there. so people can feel free to criticise what the dont like, but they must give credit for the good. My good bless you and your family!
