The Americanist Heresy?
We Believe in One Nation,
The Greatest in Heaven or Earth,
Up-holder of all things Civilized,
the best there is, seen or unseen.
We believe in One Constitution,
the Definition of our Nation,
Inerrantly devised by the Founding Fathers,
rules from Rule, rights from Right, true laws from True Law.
Inspired, not invented, of one Being with the Nation,
Through It civilization was made.
For us and for our emancipation
it came down from Heaven,
a Platonic Ideal of society,
it was ratified by constitutional convention
and became law.
By our will it was amended to include rights
like free speech and the right to bear arms,
and guarantees against self-incrimination.
In the Civil War it was refined further,
above States, not of them,
applied to all regardless of skin color.
It will preserve us always from the sea of enemies,
foreign and domestic, which stands against us.
We believe in the separation of powers, the Supreme court,
the representative legislature and the executive arm,
which proceed from the Holy Constitution.
Together with the Constitution they guarantee divided
government, and this is a feature, not a bug.
We believe in an immutable electoral system, unrepresentative
and slow, which shall elect the two houses of the legislature.
A different strange system shall elect the President, and through
him alone Supreme Court judges shall be appointed.
We believe that without these arcane rules no nation can be civilized,
and to those foreigners who diss our Holy Government we say:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Amen.

Thanks for the welcome! ^_^
