politically correct
From an e-mail I recieved:
After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion and let a
Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered
an American citizen wrote this editorial and it was published in a Tampa newspaper.
He did quite a job!
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 take advantage of one other great American freedom,
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
AMEN
If you agree -- pass this along;
