This was sent to me by a good friend. He always sends me stuff about the our troops, the war and President Bush - with whom we love.
But this struck me and felt a need to post it.
All I can say about this is BRAVO!
FROM THE TAMPA BAY NEWSPAPER
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 God-fearing men and
women, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.
It is certainly appropriate to display that motto 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.
great article,should be required reading at every level of our educational system.
Posted by: krkrjak at October 2, 2004 10:54 AMI'm sorry to hear that you people agree with what this article is saying. Tell me this, why is it alright for America to go to forign countries, invade their property and force America's beliefs on those countries. How come you people don't respond to those acts. Why is it that when things happen to Great "Holy" America you guys get your panties in a bunch. Think about all of the countries and people America has harmed in their history, all of the geneocide that they have committed. Take for example the Bikini Atol bombing. What gave America the right to go and bomb the $#!t out of that island full of native people. What about the Americian Indians? Aren't we the immigrants in their country. Shouldn't we be living by their laws. Just a little food for thought.
