(PUBLISHED IN A TAMPA FLORIDA NEWSPAPER)

UNITED STATES???

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 September 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.
***
The idea of America being multicultural 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 of 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, 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 or her
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!!!
