Divided We Fall

It has been often said, "United we stand, divided we fall." It is amazing how long the United States has remained with all the things that divide us.  But, division seems to be increasing more and more.

Politics have always divided people. Politicians depend on it to keep their power and importance. But, today there is a wide divide between those that want to maintain a democratic republic and those that want socialism - even communism.

Immigration is a dividing force. On one side there are those that want to preserve the sanctity, sovereignty and security of our borders. On the other there are those that fight daily for open borders.

Abortion continues to divide people. Some see life as being protected and preserved, while others do not view a fetus as life and can be disposed on demand.

Religion has always and will always be a dividing factor. But, in a nation that was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs, opposing views seek to destroy basic morals and principles.

Racism, real and perceived, continues to set one side against another. Today, if one does not agree with someone, they are labeled racist, without cause in most cases.

The American culture is all but gone. There was a time when regardless of race, creed or color, we were all Americans first. Not so anymore. There are hyphenated Americans that should never have been allowed to separate from just being Americans. America is and has always been a blend of many nations and people. That’s what made us unique.

If we continue to divide ourselves, we will not have to worry about being destroyed by outside forces. We will destroy ourselves.
