SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT! Hip Hip Hoorayyyyyyyyyy!!
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.
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 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.
If you agree, pass it on. If you don't agree, pass it on anyway.

Though I was born to royalty, I was snatched at birth, so treat me as the noble I am!!!

Welcome to KS,,,

I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS!
It has finally been said and I'm sure that most all of US on this board agree with it! Now what 's the next step? We have been bending over backward for so long to appease and please these alleged guests who come here crying to get in then want us to conform to their ways and customs from home, THAT THEY JUST FLED TO GET HERE!
Does anybody remember the young student pukes, when Iran invaded US Territory and kidnapped US Citizens, that were all over the place saying how great it was that * Khomenhi had dealt a defeat to the great SATAN (that's us people)?
What do you do about those scumbags? Are we ready or capable as a people of physicaly rounding them up like cattle and sending them back to where they came from, forcefully if needed?
Remember the opening scenes from Ghandi? The South Africans took a public black eye, but the foreign laborers were deported and Ghandi went back to his native land where he proceeded to give the English and his own people fits until his assasination.
That's what it will take, these people ain't leaving willingly. They would have sold themselves to get here and now that they are here they are determined to remake us.
I am not against immigration either. I am all for it, as was pointed out almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants! In my own case
one side of the family has been here just over 200 years, the other side only 100 or so. That's practically fresh off the boat by comparison to a lot of Japanese and Chinese Lineages. My wife's aunt can do her tree back to 1600. The only differance that matters to me is I am an American first, last and always! Not Irish, French Spanish or anything else. I don't want to change my country to something else so it will be PERFECT UTOPIA I happen to love my country warts and all. And anybody else that feels that way, that they want to adapt to this country instead of changing it to what they think it should be is welcome as a fellow American.
Just remember that not everyone that goes around speaking spanish is speaking "pig latin trash". There are a few people that are actually proud to be in this country. My parents both tell me that they feel more American than they do Cuban(they are naturalized citizens of this great country btw). I couldn't be prouder of them and the way the feel...Just want to let people know that there are a few "good" immigrants too.

Alex, that is exactly what I meant, Your folks came here and didn't ask anybody to change for them, they made and are still making the effort! I for one am glad that they and you are here, no matter what language they are most comfortable in they are Americans.
