There are a few things that those who have

recently come to our country, and apparently

some 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, San Juan, Iwo Jima,

Normandy, Korea, Vietnam...

We speak English, not 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 cite 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 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 BEHEADED!!

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.

It is time to take a stand!

God Bless America and our Military and Veterans
