Take Our Country Back???

     Recently I saw a Facebook post that said, "Let's take our country back!" Not being very bright, I was immediately confused. I broke the sentence down and came up with the following: "Let's" is the contraction of Let Us. Who constitutes "us?" Further, there can only be an us is there is an opposing group labeled, them. Next is the word, "take." You can only take something you do not have. "Our" is the possessive for the country that belongs to the us group. Now, to take something "back" you had something you no longer possess and want to regain that something, in this case an entire country. In sum, Them took a country from Us, and now Us wants it back. Hmmm, quite a pickle.
     In order to resolve this, my feeble brain concluded that we must first identify us and them. The country in question, of course, is The United States. That is the simple part. My confusion arises when trying to discern who belongs to the us group. You see, once that group is identified, everyone else becomes them. The person who posted this inane command on Facebook is a white, Christian, heterosexual male. Although this is a strong lead as to who believes themselves to be the rightful "owners" of this country, I do not subscribe to the belief that; a) this man originated the post, nor b) all people fitting the above description feel as though they are the dominant, us. 
     I then switched my strategy to trying to uncover the identity of them. Since this group now has the country, it seemed much easier. That being said, I used what little deductive skills I possess to reach the following conclusion: Them has the country; Americans have the country; therefore, the them group consists of Americans. Huh, how about that? The opposing group (us) can only be made up of people other than Americans. Who are these people and why do they want to take my country away?
     Yes, I am a them! And I hope the people who support the above mentioned FB post understand that, "It is not in numbers but in unity, that our great strength lies." (Thomas Paine, Common Sense) Dividing a nation is not a solution in addressing her problems. We did that once and more than 628,000 Americans lost their lives in a vain attempt to assert supremacy. All of those who deem they belong to the us group are all to fond of (mis)using the tenets of the Founders; the one deemed greatest is George Washington. I humbly ask that they deeply consider his words, "it is of infinite [emphasis mine] moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union."(Washington, "Farewell Address, 1796)
