I think for the U.S. government the Sandinistas represented a threat to their dominance of Latin America.

America Is Not... Is
America is something far greater
beyond the borders of the united states
America is not made of rock land or sea
America is not the country
we were fooled into
mistaking it to be
America is not a monger of war
not a preacher of nationalism
America does not exploit
the weaknesses of humanity
America has never been
represented accurately
or depicted properly
by those career manipulators
America is not a place
where one man can reject
the presence of another
America is raw unearthed potential
freedom truth beauty equality!
America resides in the heart and mind
America is home of the human spirit
America is a dream of potential earth utopia
America is something we all cherish and long for
America, its time we redefine ourselves
rethink our concept of who we are.

People in Latin America... love America from afar and emulate America in some ways but also hate a lot of things that America does to them.

I believe in an America with a government of men devoted solely to the public interests — men of ability and dedication, free from conflict or corruption or other commitment — a responsible government that is efficient and economical, with a balanced budget over the years of the cycle, reducing its debt in prosperous times — a government willing to entrust the people with the facts that they have — not a businessman's government, with business in the saddle … not a labor government, not a farmer's government, not a government of one section of the country or another, but a government of, for and by the people.

America
(Francis Scott Key)
Oh, say, can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so
Gallantly streaming?
America, America, America
America, America, America
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
Oh, say, does that star
Spangled banner yet wave
Over the land of the free
And the home of the brave!
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America
ooohhh

Overthrow The Status Quo
the greatest terror threat
on American soil lies
in the daily workings
of Wall Street and 'corporate America'
against the common people!
the greatest threat to freedom,
our own government!
the worst drug on the streets
is the lie they perpetuate,
backed by mainstream media.
the worst sin disguised
under 'organized religion'...
the worst slap in the face
to the American worker...
NAFTA!
the best thing that can happen...
workers, men and women,
taking back our dignity!

Fascism is a worldwide disease. Its greatest threat to the United States will come after the war, either via Latin America or within the United States itself.

Risky Business
What is all the screaming about?
Aren't they the ones who said,
They wanted less government in their daily affairs?
'Yeah,
But they are losing their investments.
Jobs, homes...
And with that, their respect.
How are they expected to live,
If nothing left is what they get? '
I haven't seen a dime yet...
Or a dollar printed from the mint,
Without someone from the government represented.
With their face boldly on it.
And 'that' had been a dead president.
And folks say they want less government in their lives?
They've got it!
'Well...'
Well nothing.
They shouted for less involvement,
Now they've got just that!
Less of it being circulated.
Giving people what they ask for these days,
Is risky business.
Especially after they've sobered from a sustained stupor!

Rule separately.
He and his wife are a perfect pair
Though not submissive to the other.
They divided the area of dominance
And the period of dominance, to rule.

It's time that America's government lived by the same values as America's families. It's time we invested in America's future and made sure our people have the skills to compete and thrive in a 21st century economy. That's what Democrats believe.

If the flag of an armed enemy of the U.S. is allowed to fly over government buildings, then it implies that slavery, or at least the threat of slavery, is sanctioned by that government and can still legally exist.

But the strangest thing yet was a jet without wings
Once as a jet it played in the stars
But now on the ground its the king of our cars

The spirit of america, the name on the side
The man who would drive her craig breedlove by name
A daring young man played a dangerous game

Both man and machine had given fair warn
Theyd set a new record on that warm august morn.
