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, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German 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, 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.
It
is Ti me for
America
to Speak up If you agree -- pass
this along; if you don't agree -- delete
it!
