Immigrants In North America Must Adapt!

I'm 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 and Canadians. 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'm 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 America and Canada being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans and Canadians, 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, Chineese, 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 principals, 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, stripes and a Maple Leaf offend you, or you dont 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 dont care how you did things where you came from. These are OUR COUNTRIES, our land and our lifestyle.
Our first ammendment gives every citizen the right to express his or her opinion and we will allow you every oportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining and griping about our flags, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of the other great American and Canadian freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE!

AMEN!
