Wake Up America
« on: January 08, 2005, 09:03:27 PM »
Story in Tampa Newspaper

 

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 I 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!


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 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.
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

This contradicts the hell out of his rant about freedom. And I'll say this: I know no intelligent people who think "God" is a part of their culture. Everybody I know who thinks so is right wing, racist scum (there's a lot of that in Texas). My Aunt's a racist, as well as my Uncle, my Mom, and three of the six people on my block. And they're all devout Christians. Republicans too, I might add. I will say that it's different for Catholics. I've got Catholic friends who are a lot like me. They're a different breed.

Another thing: Could all of the Italian, Polish, and German immigrants speak English when they came to this country? No. Much of the Northeastern population is a mix of these nationalities, and they all speak English now. America's known as a "melting pot", and will continue to be one. Do you actually think that all of the Mexican and Latin American immigrants in the Southwest are going to be around for hundreds of years? Their children usually speak English, and are just like any other American kids.

You can probably see that I'm getting sick of the oppresive, authoritarian stunninghunks who write this crap. I'm not sorry if this offends any of you religious zealot types, because you people offend me on a daily basis. The only relief I get is when I spit on the cars parked in front of the Cult that's housed a block from me.

Thats the part that pisses me off more than anything about stupid emails and opinion pieces.  Basically, this fool is saying "I get to have my say, but you don't.  I want you to hear me, but I don't want to hear you".

I had an aunt kept forwarding me this moronic rants emails.  I had to ask her to stop sending any that including this crap.

Have your say, but don't tell people they then can't have thiers.

Who is stopping you from saying what you want? Get a grip. Christians are the majority. Persecuted? BS

They're persecuting others. Remember when they burned that gay guy a few years ago? After the Christian Broadcasting channels got word of it, they started their anti-homosexual crap.

You have no idea of how much I despise people like this.

What I've always found interesting, is when someone asks me what 'race' I am (or just where I'm 'from'), they give me a funny look when I say 'I'm American'.
  Then they say, 'but where are you from?'
'um, America'
 
'ya but where are your parents from?'

'um, america. you know, this  country.'

I'm curious as how I seem to be the only American in this country, and everyone seems to be 'from' somewhere else.

Gear,

I know how you feel. Britain is suffering the same way. It's getting hard to find greeting cards that say "Merry Christmas" and the Christian message is even perceived as "offensive" to other religious groups eg. muslims, hindus.

I don't mind if people want to celebrate diwali or ramadan - as long as other groups (eg christians) can do their thing.

HOLEY JEEBUS THEN NAZIS ARE COMING......THE NAZIS ARE COMING RUN FOR THE HILLS.


so by some of ya'lls thinking ALL muslims are in fact terrorists.  Some of you can be really insulting when it comes to christianity.  Not all of us want to persicute gays and burn them at the stake.  I don't even want to convert you! "EEGADS HE'S USING MIND TRICKS"

In addition not all conservatives are christian and not all christians are conservatives.  Maybe based on your thinking I could say ALL liberal blacks are genetically disable and inferior????  Nope I can't say that because its bigoted and just plane wrong.

"all the people I know that think like that are racist" "The nazis had a saying like that once"

Again get a clue!  The Christian storm troopers are not going to be knocking down your door to haul you off to re-education any time soon.  If anything it's christianity that's constanly singled out and attacked.  There's numerous examples of "anti-christmas" junkies that were out in force this year.  Whats sad is most of these people probably have a christmas tree in their house and gave out presents on the 25th.

This has been going on in america since the pilgrims invaded plymoth rock.  Relax, vote when the time comes, and live your life as best you can.  And love one another.  Do not hate.
