needs said
After hearing that the state of Florida changed its
opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on
her drivers license with her face covered, I believe
this is even more appropriate. Read on, please! This
is an Editorial written by an American citizen,
published in a Tampa Newspaper. He did quite a job;
didn't he?
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 comprised 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! "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, highly encourage you to
take advantage of one other great American
freedoms, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
