SPECIAL FROM THE SI JAIL:

(via Gloop)

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
