| After hearing that my state of Florida changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered ~~I believe this article is very appropriate ~~ This was an editorial written by an American citizen, published in Tampa newpaper. |
| 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 an urge 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. |
| IMMIGRANTS ~~NOT AMERICANS MUST ADAPT |
| I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeding 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 identitiy. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, and our own language and 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 nation, and this is clearly documented. Its 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, the you should seriously consider a vove to another part of this planet. |
| We are happy with our culture and home 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 to take advantage of one other great American freedom...~~ THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.!! |
