Thought you'd enjoy this---



After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion and let a
Muslim woman have her picture on her drivers license with her face
covered, I believe this is even more appropriate. Read on, please! This
is an Editorial written by an American citizen,  published in a Tampa
Newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he?


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 men and women, on
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, highly encourage you to
take advantage of one other great American freedoms.....
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

Please pass this along if you agree.
