SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT. I think everyone on this planet needs to read this. This was sent by a 78-year old former nun. The Thoughts are pure and we all understand the point....

There are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, 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 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, 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, Antietam, San Juan, Iwo Jima, 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 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.

If you agree, pass this on to other Americans! It is time to take a stand!

God Bless America and our Military and our Veterans!

The american military has done nothing good since 1945*, other than illegaly stop an election in veitnam and then kill loads of its people, did pretty much nothing overall in Korea and pussied out of fighting the Iranians so your government installed Mr Hussien in Iraq and sold him weapons to kill the Iranians. God Bless America indeed.


*to make it clear I, like everyone in Europe, am very glad America helped in WWII.

Loved the picture and I'm American too.

The biggest problems suffered by Americans are that our country is so big that we really have no sense of the rest of the world and that, militarily speaking, we tred a two sided dagger. We are damned if we do and damned if we don't. I once heard someone say that it was America's job to police the planet, yet if we do that we are under constant fire from our international counterparts for placing our nose where it doesn't belong.

I believe that American's perceptions of the world would change if our government would stop coddling us and protecting us from the threats the rest of the world faces constantly.

There I've said my peace.

well stated.

living in the arab world, i am constantly amazed that americans can't suss out that the way to pull the rug out from under the feet of fundo-terrorists is to solve the problem in palestine.

that is not all that difficult, just give the palestinians a contiguous land mass as their state according to UN SC resolutions and the treaties that Israel has signed on to (Oslo for one). Guarantee the existence of a palestinian state, and help them establish a civil society.

We're talking about the good will of one fifth of the world's people here. Surely that is more in the national interest than supporting the territorial greed of about half of the Israeli public. Especially when it is a principle of self determination.

lots to say, but it is a macos board...

America doesn't have an offically declared language.
