Here's why :
Both Teddy Roosevelt nd Woodrow Wilson were unequivocal...
"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all … The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic … There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
(Teddy Roosevelt, Columbus Day, 1915.)
Has anyone heard of hyphenated German-?, a hyphenated Chinese? or whatever living in their countries? NO ! Only in Amierica, in the last 10 years,or so, have we heard of hyphenated whatevers. As the laws are hyphenated, we’ll soon hear of hyphenated Muslim-sheep....Well...we’ve seen the pictures.
I’m an American, my ancestors were on this continent before any Europeans knew we were here. I’ve enjoyed their settlements and industry, through out the couple of centuries they’ve decided to join us. We’ve had a wonderful “mid-continent” to share with the rest of the world and especially their industry, fairness, love of the land, and introducing us to our Living God and His Son. If people want to live in this Mid-Continent, called America, then please join us “first settlers” and be JUST AMERICANS.
