American Rights
11/13/2002
I think everyone on this planet needs to read
this. This was sent by a 78 yr old former nun. the
thoughts are pure and we all understand the point....
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
There are a few things that those who have
recently come to our country, and apparently some
native Americans, need to understand.
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...
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. 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!
Another thing: To those who do complain about
the usage of words like 'God' and 'American' and
speaking the language of our great nation, TRY GOING
TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND SPEAK AGAINST WHAT YOU DON'T
LIKE. YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP JAILED OR
EVEN KILLED.
In America, you take your right to complain
for granted. The more patriotism that is removed
from where our children are taught, the less our
children will learn about what it is to be an
American and our nation's spirit will slowly be
taken away.
God Bless America,our Military and our
Veterans!!!
