Americans are part of a democratic Protestant society. The Pope is not infallible – in fact he is the Devil incarnate. But America is a society that values free-will and individuality and those values are worth protecting. They stem from a shared history, a shared culture, shared values and a shared religion. These are the values that are constantly under threat from non-democratic communist/socialist ideologies, the different racial and cultural values of Latinos and Blacks, and religious infiltration from the like of Catholics, Jews and Muslims.
Americans, as a nation, must stand strong against these heinous ideologies and reassert our belief in the greatness of our nation, its wondrous superior heritage, the legacy of our forebears paid for in blood and our religion. Full of patriotic fervour, in knowledge of our righteousness, Americans must do all in their power to support the might of our nation in war against the aggressors to reassert our beliefs.
Even though our nation is manifestly unequal and full of racist attitudes we know that we alone are chosen, superior and have the correct ethos. Every one of us is capable, with God’s help, of becoming President or achieving the status of a millionaire.
We demonstrate our support of this narrative through the clothes we wear, the churches we attend, the saluting of flags, pledges of allegiance and singing of anthems.
This is what joins us in one nation (an artificial subjective idea) under one god (another artificial subjective idea).
