>> 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!
>>
>> 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 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
>> partof 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.
>> It is Time for America to Speak up
