You say "let love, duty, honor, empathy and compassion take back our homeland."
To me, the United States of America is NOT a "Homeland" -- it is a Nation created based on shared ideas.
When the word "homeland" is used to refer to the United States of America, what I hear is "White Ethnic Homeland."
And I firmly believe that was intended in 2002, when White Nationalists exploited 9/11 to pull the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) into their new mega-security agency, which they, very intentionally titled "Department of Homeland Security."
The word homeland is deeply connected to "origin" -- to ethnicity.
That is NOT what the United States is. The ONLY peoples for which this land is a "homeland" are the Native Americans that many of the forebears of those who currently live within our borders attempted, with too much success, to wipe out.
The formation of the Department of Homeland Security was a declaration that immigrants posed a risk to the "security" of the White European "Homeland" of the White Nationalists" fantasies.
It was a VERY INTENTIONAL redefinition of the United States from a Nation to an ethnic Homeland.
I find the word "homeland," when applied to the United States to be an anathema to the values that have driven every single decent thing this Nation has ever managed to accomplish.
