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??????
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.
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.
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.
However, there are a few things that those who have
recently come to our
country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. 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.
