I got this in an email. Can't take credit for writing something this good! I thought you guys might like to read it.
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
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 multi -cultural 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 world 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.
