A letter from an American citizen

Got this from a friend.

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 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 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.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

This reminded me of a letter I once read written by Ted Nugent that was filled with Many quotes that I strongly agree with. One of which is in my signature. Now that I'm thinking of it I'd like to share another one with you.

Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives in vain and defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell me it's a living document ever changing and is open to interpretation. -- Ted Nugent
