So Apparently I am Back to Posting Other People's Blogs
It's hard to resist, man. Especially when they are of a gemlike quality, as this one is:
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 beca use it is the Country of Choice??????Think about it!All we have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS?
OK, I just have to interject that I am completely unsympathetic to this viewpoint. Last I checked, no one is making you learn Polish, or eat blintzes, or whatever the hell it is you're afraid of. You can go freely on, living the life you choose, as whitely as ever you please.
I celebrate Christmas...........but because it isn't celebrated by everyone..............we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has tobe Season's Greetings.
Again interjecting. WHAT. I hear this crap from time to time, and I always seem to hear it from people who live in areas where Christianity is the norm, and no one has any problem saying "Merry Christmas!" to all and sundry; but dang if they didn't hear that up there somewheres people are getting ARRESTED for saying it, so be careful, they'll come for you next! Idiocy. I live in a liberal Northern city and no one has ever, ever taken me to task for saying Merry Christmas. Ever. Where are these Hannukah Nazis? And don't say "Berkeley", because I've lived there too, and I happen to know that city is essentially in a bubble anyway.
It's not Christmas vacation, it's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday?
Oh, sigh. Yes, it's Christmas. And Hannukkah. And Ramadan. And some Hindu holiday whose name I can't remember (oh nos, soon the Indians will be wanting a word with me!) I don't understand this at all. It costs nothing to be inclusive, and to acknowledge that there are a multiplicity of faiths represented in our schools. It hurts no one. What's the problem?
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. Personally I am not worried about offending this person. See how nice it is to be an American?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 complainingabout the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.
I was in Berkeley at the time, and I have no idea what this numbnut is talking about now. Seriously. Back this shit up with some citations in an MLA format, por favor? (THAT MEANS "PLEASE")
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone whois 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.
"This idea of America being a multicultural community" What idea? How about a FACT? Let me explain the distinction real quick: i ?de?a /a?'di?, a?'di?/ –noun1. a groundless supposition; fantasy.fact /fækt/–noun1. something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.Get it now? OK!
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.
True, but I am leery of anyone who makes statements about American culture and sovereignity in almost the same breath. It usually means something crappy is about to happen.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become partof our society, learn the language!
Oh, there it is! Again, please refer to above definitions of "fact" and "idea" for clarification. Because, fact: *we* speak all of the above languages. And many more. Because *we* are Americans, we come from all over the planet. Oh and BTW, please everyone calm down with this "learn the language" shit. English is hard. Witness the struggles this writer, likely a native speaker, had. First-generation immigrants struggle with it, then their kids pick it up naturally. And again, I have to wonder where the hell these people are living because I meet people I have to communicate with every single day who do not speak English fluently, or at all. And yet, I survive!
"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 clear ly documented.It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.
Yes, good Christians like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Mm hm.
If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world asyour new home.........because God is part of our culture.If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then youshould 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.If you have no desire to change, maybe you'd be happier with a move to another part of the planet.
Like North Korea. I understand they have this wonderful method of keeping their culture pure and unchanging. It's called a "near-fascist dictatorship." But whatever works, hey? Anyhow, I likehearing how people did things where they came from. It's interesting, learning about other cultures. Fun. Not scary, no no.
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...... andgriping....... about our flag.......our pledge...... our national motto........or ourway of life....I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great American Freedom.......THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
Love it or leave it, right? I find it funny how some people can say in one breath "Well you gots the right to says what you gotta say here, that's what I likes about America," followed closely by, "But if I don't like what you gots to say, git out." Does anyone note a slight contradiction here?
It is Time for America to Speak up if you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it!AMENI 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!
Ha, it worked! Anyway, I sincerely doubt that my objections would make it through the tin hat worn by the writer, so let me break it down in a way that would make sense to him:
LOLOLOLOLOLLLOLLL YOUR STUPID
