THIS WAS IN 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 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.
