I received this garbage in my email today. If the
majority of Americans would read this they would no doubt whole heartedly
agree. Now as your reading this, think about metrication and what the
author of this trash and those that would agree with it would think about
metrication.
This is the biggest battle that has to be fought in
metricating the US. Overcoming this attitude of superiority and we don't
need to change because the world is metric. America is different...blah,
blah, blah.

Subject: Article from Tampa Bay
newspaper..............
THIS WAS IN THE TAMPA BAY
NEWSPAPER
Will we still be the Country of choice and still be America
if we continue to make the changes forced on us
by the people from other countries that came to live in America because it is
the Country of Choice??? Think about it . .
All I have to
say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? I celebrate Christmas, but
because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry Christmas.
Now it has to be Season's Greetings. It's not Christmas vacation, it's Winter
Break.. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas
holiday? We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend
anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem
with that.
This says it all!
This is an editorial written by an
American citizen, published in a Tampa newspaper. He did quite a job, didn't he?
Read on, please!
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 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,
THE RIGHT TO
LEAVE.
If you agree -- pass this along;
if you don't agree -- delete
it!
AMEN
I figure if we all keep passing this
to our friends
(and enemies) it will also, sooner or later
get back to the
complainers, lets all try,
please
Have a wonderful
day!
