After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion and let a
Muslim woman have her picture on her drivers license with her face
covered, one American has had enough.
This is an Editorial written by an American citizen, published in a Tampa
Newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he?
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am tired of this
nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their
culture.
Since the terrorist attacks on September 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
American 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!
"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 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 part of our culture. If 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. 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 groping 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!

I'm creating a religion that requires men to wear hats in public at all times.
They better fucking let me wear my hat on my drivers license!

I was agreeing with him until he pulled out that religion stuff, but other than that and the last part about "leaving", I agree with him. To stand up and say "love it or leave it" is kind of the chicken shit way out of it, for both parties. I think it should be "don't come here unless you are willing to adapt".
The language issue has been pissing me off for a long, long, LONG time now. We get these people who have NO incentive to learn the language because the entire government panders to them. If you learn English, you don't suddently unlearn how to speak your native language. Think of it as learning a new skill: you don't lose an old skill. And then you can actuall COMMUNICATE with people outside your ethnic community! If an English speaking American moved to some country like Turkey or Brazil, you better believe that everyone there would expect that person to learn the native language! In most foriegn countries, if you can't speak the language, most people won't even TRY to be nice! While some may cry "but why should we sink to their level?" BECAUSE IT WILL FUCKING MAKE THE IMMIGRANTS LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH! I"m tired of my tax dollars being wasted on multilingual government documents in every possible language that might be out there! Learn the fucking language people! I don't expect you to get off the boat speaking perfect english with no acsent. But I do expect you to be making an effort to learn how to talk to 95% of the people in this country! I"m done now.

I feel the same.
Minus the "God is part of our culture" stuff (that seem to raise hell and a whole pack of worms in schools, etc . every other week).
As for learning languages in foreign countries - it's quite interesting. Sometimes I get to practice the foreign language, but most of the time the natives are practicing their english on me!
(as for some of the multilingual govt documents ... I doubt that some immigrants know enough english right off the boat/plane/teleporter. However you learn a lot when you talk to ppl outside your ethnic community)

I hate the "love it or leave it" attitude. I love this country, and people like me who see problems can make positive changes. If that seems "unamerican" to anyone, then perhaps they should re-define what they think "american" means.

Patrotism makes me puke-- and my sister and brother-in-law are both in the Army. Let me ask you something...did you people take out the american flags when they beat the crap out of Rodney King or shot Amadiou Diallo or sodomized Abner Louima? Does anyone give a shit that every day your basic civil liberties are eroded by the very ideals you people put out your flags to defend? You are supposed to be able to live without fear or retribution by politicians who seek to destroy your indivdualizm...we don't need some terrorist to destroy our basic freedoms and our lives we are doing that ourselves...think about it...
I refuse to put out an American flag and kowtow to this country's obvious hypocricy. we are supposed to stand for freedom and liberty but we chastize anyone who wont put out a flag or sing the national anthem-- or worse yet refuse to say the pledge of allegience. Where in MY FREEDOM TO DO WHAT I WANT? to be liberal or communist- to be jewish, christian or muslim to be anything...where is my freedom to refuse to say the pledge, to burn the damn flag or to speak my mind even when no one agrees with me?
Patrotism is another excuse for opression of the unpopular thought---going agaisnt the grain...we stopped appreciating peoples individualism and started profiling them instead....
Yeah thats right Welcome to America- the land of Hypocrites and Oppression!
Yeah I dont love this country but I can be here and hate it and that is my damn right!
