From Tampa Newspaper

Hey All,

This was sent to me and I thought this would be a good article to share w/ res. It would make for a lively group topic. What do you think? This is as I recieved it, so I am not suggestion that you send it out to everyone as it says in the end of this.

 

Story in 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 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.

It is Time for America to Speak up

If you agree -- pass this along;

if you don't agree -- delete it!

 

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
