That which is not loved - withers and dies!

¶ HONOR ¶ To Be Good
¶ LIBERTY ¶ To Be Free
¶ EQUALITY ¶ To Be One
¶ JUSTICE ¶ To Be Fair

Our American Principles and Honorable Americans are what make our country great. Our American Principles and Honorable Americans are the foundation of American Patriotism.
We hold these truths to be self-evident That all people are created equal That all people are made the same With a Heart and a Soul! With a Body and a Mind! That no one is better than you That you are no better then someone else That it is wrong to bully someone else That it is wrong to make-fun-of someone else
That all people are endowed by their Creator With certain unalienable, natural, rights That among these natural rights are: ¶ LIFE ¶ That it is right for all people to Live ¶ LIBERTY ¶ That it is right for all people to be Free ¶ And the pursuit of HAPPINESS ¶ That it is right for all people to be Happy
