This is an Editorial written by an American
citizen, published in a Tampa Newspaper. He
did quite a job; didn't he?
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
comprised 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 multi cultural 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
