The American's Creed

by William Tyler Page
"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
"I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."
Written in 1917, it was accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.
Hat tip to US History.org
Imagine that, a creed that says we're governed by the consent of the people. Try telling that to some Republicrat politicians these days. They won't believe you.
