>I, for one, am quite disturbed by these actions of so-called
>American citizens; and I am tired of this nation worrying

>I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against

>First of all, it is not our responsibility to continually try
>not to offend you in any way. This idea of America being a
>multi-cultural 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, called the "American Way" has been
>developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by
>millions of men and women who have sought freedom. Our
>forefathers fought, bled, and died at places such as Bunker
>Hill, Antietam, San Juan, Iwo Jima, Normandy, Korea, Vietnam,
>etc.
>
>We speak English, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
>Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to
>become part of our society - learn our language!
>"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some
>off-the-wall, Christian, Right Wing, political slogan -- it
>is our national motto. It is engraved in stone in the House
>of Representatives in our Capitol and it is printed on our
>currency. We adopted this motto because Christian men and
>women, on Christian principles, founded this nation; and
>this is clearly documented throughout our history. If it is
>appropriate for our motto to be inscribed in the halls of our
>highest level of Government, then it is certainly appropriate
>to display it on the walls of our schools.
>
>"God" is in our pledge, our National Anthem, nearly every
>patriotic song, and in our founding documents. We honor His
>birth, death, and resurrection as holidays, and we turn to
>Him in prayer in times of crisis. 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 and we are proud
>to have Him.
>
>We are proud of our heritage and those who have so honorably
>defended our freedoms. We celebrate Independence Day,
>Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Flag Day. We have parades,
>picnics, and barbecues where we proudly wave our flag. As
>an American, I have the right to wave my flag, sing my national
>anthem, quote my national motto, and cite my pledge whenever
>and wherever I choose. If the 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.
>
>The American culture is our way of life, our heritage, and we
>are proud of it. 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. We are Americans, like it or not, this
>is our country, our land, and our lifestyle.
>
>Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express
>his opinion about our government, culture, or society, 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.
>
>If you agree, pass this onto other Americans!
>It is time to take a stand!!!
