So let this be the message from left to right, from Democrat to Republican:

We are Americans. In time, far more of us than of you will define what IS American.

Join us in this great and diverse work - in good faith and in peace. Work you profit from in every aspect of your life: good clean water. Good schools. Affordable housing. Safe working conditions. Promotion of the arts and sciences. A strong defense. Good roads. Child care. Care for your disabled friends and family. The means to support every senior citizen you know.

And you dare call what we do un-American. There's more of America you thank God every day for - when you should be thanking us.

But, no. You won't thank us. Some of you would rather take up arms against your fellow Americans. All this talk and debate and pretending to be about winning elections is getting tedious. You're impatient. You want this sorted yesterday.

Fine, then. I add this warning: Fight us, and reap the whirlwind, for whether you acknowledge us as your countrymen and equals or not - we are Americans all.

We know how to fight for what's ours and what's right.

So if this be the end of the Age of Reason, never let it be said that this dreadful tragedy happened without a fight, the consequence of sighs of exhausted despair.

For whatever madness has overcome many of our red brethren, let it be said that, win or lose, Americans true and blue fought to the last to defend their lives, their liberty and every good thing, for friend and foe alike.
