America and American Rights

America and American Rights were passionately reviewed in the following presentation, “This Says it All,” by an anonymous source. The review was sent to me by E-mail, by a friend, author unknown, on or about October 18, 2001.  An included E-mail address was sufficient to indicate that it may have originated in a federal prison, perhaps an inmate who had lost some of his/her rights or an observing employee.  The views and concerns are just as applicable today.  It appears, from observing recent events, that everyone in the world feels that they have the right, or are entitled, to enter the United States of America (USA) and take advantage of the American taxpayer’s generosity.  Live a life of freedom from responsibility and toil.

The entitlement mentality of large portions of the world has been demonstrated in a militant manner in recent years by screams of discrimination. Discrimination claims over proposed need and intent to close the USA borders and claims of racial and religious bias in refugee processing and in law enforcement.  These screams extend to demonizing attempts to control the influx of illegal aliens and “so-called” refugees that threaten legal, law-abiding citizens.  These criminal invaders feel that they are entitled to be supported by the welfare system to an extent beyond that extended to legal citizens.  Funds are being diverted from programs funded by citizen taxation for the benefit of citizens to those programs necessary to support non-citizens.

The extent of this militant, criminal invasion has been very evident in the criticism directed toward Donald Trump during his presidential campaign. He told the truth about what has been going on in this respect for many years and is increasing now at an increasing rate.  It is threatening the security of the USA and of many of those countries dependent on the strength of the USA.  The borders should be closed and controlled.  We, in order to be secure in our homeland, must know who is in the country, for what purpose, and for how long, and must assure that they leave when their authorized visit ends.  The visits must be in accordance with verifiable background information sufficient to determine risk to the country by their presence.  Citizenship should be controlled and extended only to those who can and will make a positive contribution to the country.  Anchor babies and their illegal families should be removed from the county (the parents are responsible for the situation).  Being born in the country should not be sufficient for citizenship.  I do not believe that the Constitution is correctly interpreted when citizenship is granted to babies born of non-citizens just because they are born in the USA.  Those who assist illegal aliens and their offspring in circumventing our laws should be held criminally responsible and prosecuted, no matter what their claimed or supposed justification.

This Says it All

 Broken Arrow, Oklahoma School officials remove “God Bless America” signs from schools in fear that someone   might be offended.

Channel 12 News in Long Island, New York, orders flags removed from the newsroom and red, white, and blue ribbons removed from the lapels of reporters. Why? Management did not want to appear biased and felt that our nation’s flag might give the appearance that “they lean one way or another”.

Berkeley, California bans U.S. Flags from being displayed on city fire trucks because they didn’t want to offend anyone in the community.

In an “act of tolerance” the head of the public library at Florida Gulf Coast University ordered all “Proud to be an American” signs removed so as to not offend international students.

I, for one, am quite disturbed by these actions of so-called American citizens; and I am tired of this nation worrying about whether or not we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled in New York and Washington D.C. 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. In fact, our country’s 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 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 multi-cultural 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, and 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 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. We are Americans, 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.
