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 we 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!
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 to take advantage of one other Great American Freedom.......

THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.


AMEN

Gil...Dan...Phil....Where are ya guys??

So many things to say, and I'm near polite enough to say them on the open forum.

Ignorance runs rampant.

Nationalism and Patriotism are diseases, not Juggernauts upon whose shoulders we are carried into success...

If this crap had been written by a Canadian about Canada I would be just as indignant. Its emotionally-driven foolish rhetorical poop...
 
I'm not buying into this rampant nationalism thing. Or even my God is better then your God or even there is no God.
What America has is a system, by design or accident, that seems to just work better than Most. The language is part of it, though there are other languages that do nearly as well.
Like mentioned, a land of mostly immigrants, that have somehow evolved into a (mostly) success. That is actually constantly evolving.
This America love it or leave it crap, has something of the same flavor as the master race or some such rot. Or where you were born is more important than who you are.
Or even insinuating that America is some how homogeneous. Americans use the same money and mostly speak a variation or three of English. And have a plethora of views and opinions.
The guidelines in the constitution are also constantly evolving. The Supreme Court spends and awful lot of time, trying to interpret what they meant, when they wrote the constitution.
 
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

^that is the 1st amendment. whats your reply to that mr canadian?
cant write anything about canada because the queen of ENGLAND says you cant. when you get your own country let us know. ok.

My brain wanders after about 5 sentences. :wierd:

I like mint chocolate chip ice cream :chef:
 
You better be kind to our Canadian brethern. They say the birth rate is going down because global warming is causing a medical condition (hotballs), which is lowering the birth rate in more southern climates.
In Canda because of the cooler weather and the fact that both males and females wear skirts, this malidy is not as prevalent.
In twenty or thirty generations, they may out number us.

Not if they are stuck in the mud... as the glaciers recede, their frozen tundra will melt and they'll have a much harder time getting around in the muck.

Coldballs -- is that what that clacking noise in my pants is ? Thanks!
 
This country WAS NOT FOUNDED ON CHRISTIAN PRICIPLES!

Really people, what makes you think that!

"In God We Trust"

I tolorate that but I don't love it.

God in the pledge...

KILL IT! It wasn't there until the moral BS of the 50's.

The current wave of "patriatism" is actually nationalism. Nationalism is what created Nazi Germany.
 
Ra-ra-ra hear me scream!

the terror that is taking our language...

i love all the "patriotic" e-mails that i get sent - that ammount to:

"Look at whats going on over there! Im glad I live here"

AKA NOTHING!

Several of our founding fathers were Masons, were they not? Speaking of which, I gotta get the mason up the street going on my brick fire pit.
