AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL???

It pains me to write the following, being a Vietnam vet who served faithfully 44 yrs. ago. Has America ever been truly beautiful? Europeans come over here to escape tyranny and religious persecution, then promply proceed to kill, persecute and tyrannically force the indigenous peoples off their land, put them in little swatches of land, default on promises to help them,. While importing slaves from another country to further subjugate the human race. Then take credit for those peoples inventions and hard work. Unfortunately this is still a priority of that same part of the population, same game another name (tea party). The poor,elderly, those on social programs (even their own group) are the neo slaves the corporations slave masters, the members of that collusive group of conservatives neo overseers.  Today they want to murder the middle class and poor by deprivation of basic rights that were the compass of which this country's greatness was defined, before the money and fire power which just made us feared. America the Beautiful,            you fill in the blank.
