[I]Although the following commentary captures how most Americans feel about immigration, I'm sure most of us here have a much more conservative stance on this issue.[/I]
[B][URL=http://www.talltexian.com/TallTexiansThisnThat/id31.htm]"IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT"[/URL][/B].
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. 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 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. 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, Portuguese, 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 griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom:
[B][I]THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.[/I][/B]

True idiocy. Cuts the ground out from under himself with that, then expects us to listen to his whine.
He who concedes the main point ahead of time has no reason to complain.
Immigrants will not change their behavior while they are being encouraged in it by elites from the government to the Ford Foundation.
There's only one possible take on immigration anymore: [B]End it![/B] :angry:

This is a good example of the 'safe dissent' of 'outlaws' like Charlie Daniels, Ted Nugent and such that starts finding its way into everyone's email inbox around election time.
"Bush may have his faults, but he's no Kerry!" RNC rallying the troops.

Those who are against the Bible, against IN GOD WE TRUST, against Jesus, against a free America,,,,,,, are not the emmigrants. Look at the 2% that live in this country and yet they are not part of this country, look at those who use our armed forces in order to fight their war of conquest,,, THE KHAZAR ZIONIST JEWS....... "When the truth comes into the light, the lies will hide in the dark"... Ponce
