AMERICA FIRST!

There are folks inside this country who believe that it is right for us to put everyone everywhere across the world first, before ourselves. This may be the hair that breaks the camel's back!

• Unless we put America First, where it comes to jobs, racial issues, domestic (foreign) aid, charity, politics, etc., there will likely not be an America left to help anyone else in the world.
• With manufacturing dieing on the vine and American jobs going to China and other developing nations, the adverse affect on our local communities and our state governments cannot be avoided.
• Without good-paying jobs, not hamburger-flopping jobs alone, these government infrastructures will not hold up.
• More and more our local and state lawmakers will be forced to turn to you and I to make up the shortfall.
• More and more you will see even more of your neighbors, acquaintances, and relatives walking the street looking for work.

The bottm line: unless we put America first, there will be no America left in the end analysis to help anyone else, anywhere else in the world.

The two parties which divide the state, the party of Conservatism and that of Innovation, are very old, and have disputed possession of the world ever since it was made. This quarrel is the subject of civil history. The conservative party established the reverend hierarchies and monarchies of the most ancient world. The battle of patrician and plebeian, of parent state and colony, of old usage and accommodation to new facts, of the rich and the poor, reappear in all countries and times. The war rages not only in battlefields, in national councils and ecclesiastical synods, but agitates every man's bosom with opposing advantages every hour. The Conservative (1841) Ralph Waldo Emerson
