Story in a Tampa newspaper
OUR RIGHTS
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 I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS?
I celebrate Christmas, but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no
longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings. It's not
Christmas vacation, it's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break
ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday?? 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!
After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion and
let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face
covered 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, 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 t
his 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 take advantage of one other
great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
