I remember watching George Bush's speech from the rubble in NYC. At that point we were not Republicans or Democrats. We weren't black, brown or white. Our chosen religion didn't sway us. We were Americans and soon we were pissed off Americans.
It's a damn shame it takes a national tragedy and terrorist attack to unify us as a nation. I don't understand all these people that preach "diversity". That is what tears this nation apart, when you get down to it. UNITY is what we need.
