Will we still be the Country of choice and still be America if we continue
to make
the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to
live in
America because it is the Country of Choice??????
Think about it
All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? I
celebrate Christmas,
but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry
Christmas.
Now it has to be Season's Greetings. It's not Christmas vacation, it's
Winter Break.
Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas
holiday?
We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone,
that I
am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that.
This says it all!
This is an editorial written by an
American citizen, published in a
Tampa newspaper He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!
IMMIGRANTS,
NOT AMERICANS,
MUST ADAPT.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we
are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks
on Sept.
11,
we have experienced a surge
in patriotism by the majority
of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had
barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining
about
the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is
seeking
a better life by coming to America Our population is almost entirely made up
of descendants
of immigrants. However, there
are a few things that those
who have recently come to
our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of
America
being a
multicultural community
has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As
Americans,
we
have our own culture, our
own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been
developed
over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and
women who
have sought freedom.
We speak
ENGLISH
, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other
language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part
of our society, learn the language!
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right
wing,
political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women,
on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly
documented.
It is certainly appropriate to display it
on the walls of our schools. If God
offends you, then I suggest you
consider another part of the world as
your new home, because God is part
of our culture
If Stars and Stripes offend you, or
you don't like Uncle Sam, then you
should seriously consider a move
to another part of this planet. We
are happy with our culture and have
no desire to change, and we really
don't care how you did things where
you came from. This is
OUR COUNTRY,
our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the
right to express his opinion and we
will allow you every opportunity to do so!
But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag,
our pledge, our national motto, or our
way of life, I highly encourage you
take advantage of one other great American freedom,
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
It is Time for America to Speak up
If you agree -- pass this along;
if you don't agree -- delete it!
AMEN
I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends
(and enemies) it will also, sooner or later
get back to the complainers, lets all try, PLEASE
