I usually don't make journals like this, but it's so true...So here we go:


Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending
> someone-----YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !!!!
>
> Subject: THIS WAS IN A TAMPA 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 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 - You are in the WRONG Country!
>
> AMEN
>
> I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it will
> also, sooner or later
> get back to the complainers, lets all try,
> please!
