USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS WAS IN THE TAMPA BAY NEWSPAPER


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 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.

Bud.

Couldn't have said it better.
Treason by Ann Coulter is an excellent book on the topic.
Let's not offend anyone because they might get mad. We are a tolerant society but just because we "tolerate" something does not mean we agree with it. It means we put up with it.
I heard an Italian immigrant say it best. When we immigrated in the early 20th century we would never have dreamed of not learning the language. We realized that in order to get ahead we needed to do things the way they were done here. So in order to prosper we learned the language and customs.
The terrorists are mad...Well guess what the USA is mad and now the terrorists should be scared because we are going to KILL them.

That is great guys, and I agree with you both. As for my family, my fathers side came over from the old country and had to adapt to a new language and life style. It wasn't easy considering my Grandfather only made it to the third grade before he ventured into the coal mines of Western Pa. to help support the family. If these SOB's want to cry about the way things are in this country, well I have one thing to say "GET THE F--K OUT and go back to where you came from since they speak you language and have the same culture as you". If you decide to change your life for the better and want to stay here go along with the program that has been in place for over 200 years.....
