God Bless America!
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. 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. 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. 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.
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
reconsider living here, 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.
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!
Keep patriotism alive.
It is time to take a stand!
God Bless America and our Military and Veterans!
If you agree, pass this on to other Americans!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
