Re: If you\'re causcasian you\'re in big trouble
A friend emailed this to me today.
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT!
Finally, someone has said what I think has been on every American's mind!!!!! This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published in a local newspaper.
"IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT!!"
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture, here in the USA.
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 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.
This idea of America, being a multi -cultural 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! ENGLISH.
"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, of 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 and always will be part of our culture.
If the 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. Remember, "Delta is ready when you are and they can have you there by nightfall".
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.
If you agree with this message, pass it on . If you don't agree, pass it on anyway.
What the heck! This is AMERICA, after all!

Re: If you\'re causcasian you\'re in big trouble
<font color=red> I understand that 40 people may have been killed. Thats 40 too many but it pails compared to the 3000 that were killed in our country. Sorry, no tears here. </font color=red>
Innocent people are innocent people. If we don't care about the deaths of innocent people in other countries we should not be surprised when they don't care about our pain and suffering. I care more about American lives too...they are closer to me, and "of mine". I'm not about to spout some bleeding heart liberal prose, but just for the sake of common sense we should at least act like we feel the much quoted "do unto others" should be applied to people outside our borders. Remember the embassy bombings in Africa? How many american lives were lost? How many citizens of the host country were killed? Our news made it sound as if no one but Americans were killed. That's fine, since all we cared about were the Americans, but imagine the relatives of some of those non-Americans and how they must have reacted to our behaviour. As to "dem Afghanis" firing guns at weddings....apparently that's their tradition. If they were firing at our planes, thay made a major mistake. If they did not, our pilot made a major mistake. It is only reasonable that our forces should be expected to make every effort to avoid civilian casualties, and it is in our interest. The fewer enemies we make, the fewer we will eventually have to deal with. Walk softly and carry a big stick is a great slogan, if we remember that both parts are needed to make it work.

Another good reason to oppose gun control, it denies minorities the right to freely practice their traditional customs in this great multi-cultural land of ours. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: If you\'re causcasian you\'re in big trouble
Good point! Now I'll have to re-think all my clearly thought out positions. We're gonna have to create some sort of cross-reference thingie so we can keep track of what's being said on each of these threads. I can't even recall where I was told to love it or leave it./w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif
