The America that you can inspire to the dream of "having the American dream"
The America where you can make it if you try regardless of your sex, race, sexual orientation or religion.
The America where there is justice for all.
The America that will accept what is on the Statue of Liberty
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
The America where you can get a first class education.
The America where you can get Liberty and justice for all.
The America that we care about our fellow Americans.
The America where there is a separation of church and state.
The America that adheres to the laws of our constitution.
PLEASE ADD ON
This is what we are, not the tea party but "the real Americans".

As long as one is white, straight, male and Christian.
The America where there is justice for all.
For all who can pay for it.

Not likely.
The America where you can get a first class education.
If you can afford it.
The America where you can get Liberty and justice for all.
If you can afford it.
The America that we care about our fellow Americans.
Who look and vote like us.
The America where there is a separation of church and state.
What?
The America that adheres to the laws of our constitution.
Only those laws that protect white dominance.
