THIS DOES SAY IT ALL!!!
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;
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, 2001, 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!
"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 to take
advantage of one other great American
freedom, ................
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE!
