SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT!

Hip Hip Hooray!! Finally, someone has said what I think has been on every
American's mind! This is an editorial written by an American citizen,
published in a local newspaper. "IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT!!" I
am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some
individual or their culture, here in the USA. 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 composed 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, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!
ENGLISH. "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, of 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 wor ld as your new home, because God is and always will be part of our
culture.

If the 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. Remember, "Delta is ready when you are
and they can have you there by nightfall."

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 to take advantage of one other great American freedom,
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

If you agree with this message, pass it on. If you don't agree, pass it on
anyway. This is AMERICA, after all.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

i hope i'm not offending anyone--this was sent to me by a very good friend and i had to post it somewhere or i was gonna bust..we as americans do everything in our power not to upset others from around the world...yet an american in one of their countries is fair game for public ridicule and a prime target for a 'patriots' bullet !!-even in the countries that proclaim to be our friends--i've experienced it 1st hand in a number of different lands so please don't tell me otherwise--wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all just get along ??!!!

100% right Terry.

I think those feelings are wide spread, but as you alluded to, we all are so worried about stepping on anyone's toes nowdays, that we all have become mice, not men. What we all need again is some thick skin. A back brace if you will.

Wasn't it Patrick Henry that said, "Give me a spine, or give me death!"

I am dissapointed at the immigrants who don't even try to learn English and just get by over the years through their family translating for them.

I'd much rather have Littlefloor come in to our country.

I agree 100% Terry.

I think Patrick Henry said give me a strat or give me death... Well you see what that got him
