If you want to be an American, then BE AN AMERICAN


After hearing that the state of Florida changed its
opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her
drivers license with her face covered, I believe this is
even more appropriate. Read on, please!

This is an Editorial written by an American citizen,
published in a Tampa Newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't
he?

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 composed 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, 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.

Please pass this along if you agree.
