Immigrants, Not Americans, Must Adapt

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture, here in the USA. 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 comprised 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 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 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, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! ENGLISH. "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, of 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 and always will be part of our culture. 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. 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. Remember, "Delta is ready when you are and they can have you there by nightfall". 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 to take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.  If you agree with this message, pass it on.

BUMP! to a great article!. Good post.

Any attack against nefarious, devious and perverted 'political correctness' is welcome. The premise and points are correct.

But the argumentative value is poor in my judgement. It is a poorly worded essay. Again, not saying the points he/she takes up are not valid; it just lacks a bit of beef and bone and I think liberals could take it apart. Sounds a bit like truck stop chat in Ozona, Texas over chili. Nothing wrong with that, though, we all have free speech rights. I think conservatives can field better than this, IMHO.

Imagine this: The prettiest woman in the world should be the most selective woman in finding a mate? All she has to do is look and see that there is a line of people begging for her attention, willing to worship her, and declare how much they adore her, and would never cheat on her!...Stay with me, please----

Then imagine some liberal congressmen ordering this trophy of a woman to mate with any stinking worthless bum in order that she will give EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to all people. The congressmen say, your mate does not have to tell you I love you, does not have to declare his faithfulness to you!

Now, I bet you got what I am trying to say. The US is the most desirable country in the world. Millions who are qualified and willing to die for this country and its noble principles are rejected in order that we may give visas to worthless Moslems who hate us, and will never assimilate in our society? What a stupid congress, and what a stupid INS!

My Japanese wife has adapted quite well to American culture, she has a credit card, checkbook, ebay account, etc.

Sigh.

[norraad]

No shiete, sherlock, that's because we beat the crap outå them when they'd tried to mess with us & our culture.

Now they behave & assim".

"What we have h'yere, . . is failure to communicate!"

[philosofy123]

That is the thing about mail order brides. They sit in front of the TV, learn from Oprah how to be a bitch, and get a credit card to shop their life away!

Fine and dandy. I like the way you express your frustration. And I agree that immigrants who deliberately act in subversive ways seeking to undermine the security of the US should absolutely be deported or imprisoned. OTOH what do you do about the native born Americans who hate the USA and what this counry stands for? The man who brought the lawsuit to omit "under God" from the pledge is an American born amd bred citizen. The raving lunatics who protest against Bush, free trade, etc are after all American born. The academic university leeches are for the most part all born in the USA nad mostly abhor free market, conservative values. So do most of the media. Most immigrants I know are more conservative than any of us. The real danger to this country has always been from within that is from American born traitors.

Agree with this message, am passing it along and hoping others will all begin to speak out about this subject. Our language is English. Those coming to this country only have to learn one language. We should not have to learn 20 to understand our neighbor. If I intended to move to another country permanently, I would learn their language to make it easier on me and my family. What's the big deal? Do I expect all those countries to learn my language? It's silly. Doesn't make sense and needs to be addressed.

If you are from Canada you know pretty well what the history and makeup of America is;
Why not just try to make your point up front?

[Skwidd]

Met and married in Japan. Nice potshot, though. Twit.

"I'm from Canada, so please excuse my ignorance about American culture. From this article I gather it's primarily made up of speaking English and Christianity. Is that correct?"

Oh, you mean like Canada being made up of mostly French speaking Catholics?

[JustAnAmerican]

Agree 100 percent.

[DM1]

My Japanese wife has adapted quite well to American culture, she has a credit card, checkbook, ebay account, etc.

Oh, no you don't. That will not do at all. She has to be "over the limit" on the credit card and "overdrawn" on her checking account ;-)
