I am sorry but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in
Spanish - enough is enough. No where did they sing it in Italian, Japanese,
Polish, Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Greek, French, or any other
language because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and
should be sung word for word the way it was written. The news broadcasts
even gave the translation -- not even close. Sorry if this offends anyone
but this is MY COUNTRY - IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP ---- please pass
this along~
I am not against immigration -- just come through like everyone else. Get a
sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by
the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past --
and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
PART OF THE PROBLEM
Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending
someone-----YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !!!!
Will we still be the Country of choice and still be America if we continue
to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that
came to live in America because it is the Country of Choice???
Think about it!
All we have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? We've
gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I
am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with
that. This says it all! This is an editorial written by an American citizen,
published in a Tampa newspaper. He
did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!
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 made up
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, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, Greek, Polish, Italian, French, 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.
