SOMEONE
FINALLY SAID IT.
I think
everyone on this planet needs to read this
letter.
The
thoughts are pure and we all understand the
point....
A
retired 78-year-old nun said that there are a
few things that those who have recently come to
our country (America), 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, San Juan, IwoJima, 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 recite 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 to 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 killed. Keep
patriotism alive.
God Bless America and our Military and our
Veterans!!!
