If we allow Democrats and Republicans to conduct business as usual, America's national debt will grow until America fails. We cannot allow this to happen. This plank was deduced from a breakthrough in science. Like using the correct equation when doing math, applying a new understanding of human nature will resolve all of America's social problems. Sending Patriots to Congress will insure politics, big business, political correctness and special interests do not come before America.
Point-by-point explanation…
We will implement policies and programs that unite us,…
We will narrow the gap between ethnicities by citing America first when differentiating people according to the origin of their ancestors. After all, we are all Americans of some decent. For example, a citizen of Italian ancestry will be referred to as an “American of Italian descent.” Likewise, a citizen with African ancestry will be referred to as an “American of African descent,” and so on.
We will establish a specific definition of racism, so we can be free to discuss racially sensitive issues without fear of being unfairly labeled a “racist.” To that end, we will promote the following definition of racism:
“Racism is the belief that people of the various races have different intrinsic values as human beings.”
Note: Any statement that does not indicate one's belief with regard to another person's “intrinsic value as a human being” cannot be a racist statement. Likewise, any person who believes the various races are identical in their value as human beings is not a racist.
The definition of racism is liberating. Any opinion not espousing some difference in “intrinsic value as human beings” cannot be racist by definition. Without an assessment of one's “intrinsic value as a human being,” an opinion or expression may be biased, bigoted, prejudiced, discriminatory, hurtful, insensitive, stupid, cruel, and unjustified, but it would not be racist.
Although people of all ethnicities have an “identical value as human beings,” the various ethnicities have different general characteristics. To express an opinion on the general differences between races or ethnicities is not racism. Even expressing a preference or dislike for one or more supposed characteristics is not racism.
Note: The Patriot Party® believes all people have an identical intrinsic value as human beings, regardless of their race or ethnicity. See the book A More Perfect Union for details.
…retire or retool policies and programs that divide us,…
We will eliminate programs that treat Americans differently.
“Black History Month” should become “American History Month,” so one ethnicity is not forcibly featured above all others. Various ethnic groups (such as Americans of African decent and Natives of North America) can be featured, but as a subset of our one American culture.
Race-based assistance programs such as “Affirmative Action” will be re-commissioned as “Career Training,” targeting poor unskilled Americans. In this way, we will transform “Affirmative Action” so it serves people of all ethnicities who are economically disadvantaged, rather than discriminate on the basis of ethnicity.
We will advocate not using the labels “black” and “white.”
Neither label is correct. All people of all ethnicities are a shade of brown. We differ only in the amount of “melanin” (pigment) in our skin.
Simply referring to people as being of some decent serves us better by helping to unite us as one people. To illustrate, rather than say, “He is black,” we will advocate saying, “He is of African decent.”
…establish English as America's official language,…
Establishing English as our national language will provide two key benefits. First, it will help unite the country. Second, it will give our children a competitive edge at home and abroad.
The way to success in America (and the world) is through mastering English – the language adopted by Europe and the United Nations.
Note: The argument “learning a foreign language develops the brain” is weak. Studying English and creative writing develops the brain as well, while making students (our children) more competitive in America and the world.
We will eliminate foreign language requirements in publicly-funded high schools, colleges and universities.
Losing the foreign language requirement in high school will free up 6 courses of the 40 that students take over four years (15% of the high school curriculum). The additional 6 courses will enable students to develop their writing skills.
Note: Naturally, students who wish to study other languages may do so as elective courses.
…and encourage legal immigrants to assimilate so we unify society and America that will still be varied by our many diverse backgrounds.
We will advocate the concept of the “American Stew” over diversity. Rather than encourage or discourage diversity, we will tout the importance of assimilation wherein citizens form one American culture that is “flavored” by our various ethic backgrounds.
We will reverse the efforts to make America bilingual.
Immigrants who come to America do so by choice. They should be required learn at least one sentence in English. “For instructions in a foreign language, press nine.” (After all, we all know what “Parlez-vous français?” means.)
Pressing #9 on the keypad will bring up a menu of foreign languages, depending on the local
clientele. Adopting such a policy will make the statement we are proud of our one American culture, and we intend to protect it. This practice should be adopted with little resistance because it still accommodates those who do not speak English.
Note: Of course, businesses may reject this policy. However, citizens should view those businesses as being indifferent to protecting our American culture.
