Are you AMERICAN??.....


Sorry folks but I felt this HAD to be read by as many as possible.........I agree with it 120%!!!

This was in a TAMPA newspaper

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?

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, FL 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 Time for America to Speak up If you agree -- pass this along;
if you don't agree -- delete it--ignore it-- You are in the WRONG Country!

I agree guys.
I think the whole concept of America being a "Melting Pot" is gone. Everyone expects the citizens that are here to adapt to the immigrants ways. No one has to melt, learn the language, etc.
As far as holidays and traditions, I know some people of the Jewish faith and when they say Happy Hannuka, I'm happy that they are wishing me well, not pissed because they are ignoring my religion and beliefs. We teach tolerence of the ideas that are new to most of us but in return shouldn't we get tolerence for OUR beliefs and traditions?
Time to celebrate what we have in common not our diversity!
No more European Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans..Just Americans...United WE Stand..Divided WE Fall!
God Bless American AND her Citizens!

Yeah, but ****tails make the bitter pill go down a little smoother.
;)
I also agree to a certain extent. If people are going to migrate to the U.S., they should do it legally. There should be certain restrictions in place i.e. no high rank political jobs without a birth certificate, they MUST learn and understand the English language, they should be required to invest in the economy, not take...I could go on and on. Being ethnocentric about the country you live in is not being racist.

Also, we must NOT forget the people that were her first...the Indians (not the Cleveland kind)...Native Americans...whatever. It seems like they were made to adapt to the "English ways" not visa versa. Let's not forget about being placed on "Reservations."

Don't get me wrong. I love my country...I'm just scared to death of it's government. It's still the best country in the world...hands down! But if the way this country is ran doesn't change drastically...it will be bankrupt and powerless. That's a whole other topic...

Good one Depp...ya owed me. :P

Peace,
Troy

GOD BLESS AMERICA, IF your going to live in this country you better not offend those of us who believe in God and Merry Christmas, saying the pledge or just in the RED WHITE & BLUE then don't let the door hit you were the good Lord split you!!!! United We Stand or Divided We fall . If you dont believe in God that is your right you dont have to stand and say the pledge or sing God Bless America or even believe in Christmas, Easter BUT Don't STOP ME and my family from doing so!!!

I lost a great friend a little over a year ago that was Blackfoot. His name was Jakson Spires and he was one of the coolest people I've ever known.
