[DMCForum] Sort of related to the Christmas debate

[Chuck McKnight <gullwingdoors@xxxxxxxxx>]

I recieved this so I thought I'd pass it along.  It has some relevancy to the Christmas debate.

  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 th is 
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!

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!
