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 . . .
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.

I applaud the person who wrote this. And Thank you, Larry, for posting it. I certainly agree completely. But so many true Americans have become brain-washed and are afraid to take a stand for OUR rights as true Americans to remain America. If the invaders do not like our country, why come here? I tell you it is set to destroy us. 'they' have most of the jobs right now. 'our' traitor government 'gives' them to them and do not charge 'them' taxes. This is the stinkest mess in the world. Yet through stupidity most of our own people think this is wonderful. I better not get started too much on this...... me |

Covenant of our Forefathers.........In 1837 John Quincy Adams stood and said, "Prosperity, You will never know the price my generation has paid for your freedom, I hope you will make use of it"......These men and women saw our generation when they signed away their lives.......fortune...... Covenant..........Covenant of our forefathers............A Covenant with God........a Light to the Nation...................The God of Abraham, Iasiac and Jacob.......we have no Christian heritage in this nation?........why is there a great awakening today? No kingdom for King Jesus? Covenant of the past giving hope for the future? Will the next generation have the blessing of God upon them? Renew our Covenant today. Men starting trouble all over the world...a revolt.....revolution! Do we change the world or does the world change us? Do we sit back in our comfort or is there something wrong with the picture? Why another message? What are we here for? Where do we go with all of this? Are there new colors Lord? .........are we pleased with the cultural shift in the last 40 years? What in the world happened? America today! Christians in institutionalized religion.....giving up things we always wanted to be free from anyway....bow down to the gods of society......cower in the corner about our faith.....where do we stand today? Jesus never saw His Church in a building! So many moves of God....people wanted to take ownership of it and make it about them. They wanted their names in light and moved from building His Kingdom and built their own empire. America......One Nation under God.........lift up the Name of Jesus....not about you, me ...just about Him. One Name given under Heaven.....not your name or my name. The Name of the Lord..........America remember .....as in 1837.............. A Jesus Revolution......coming........now............. Somebody needs to carry a torch.....who's going to carry that torch? He wants men who will put the swords on the table The family is not a house and the church is not a building......a community is not changed with many church buildings for then we feel we built something. A church that expresses the fullness of Jesus Christ....do we do that now? The full personality of Jesus Christ will be expressed through His Church.....it is stirring.....do you feel the pressure of something "coming"? The coming of Jesus Christ............stop being so cautious.....we have an open window now! "Spiritwalker" |

HellOOOOOO Spiritwalker. Good, good, good to hear from you again girl. Hope all is well with you....... Atta Girl. Now that sounds like my friend I have so missed hearing from. I always loved those kinds of messages. You do send out some good words. That is truly a great call to awaken and get to serving the one and only one worth serving = Jesus Christ. I fully agree. Jesus said His Church was going OUT into all the world ----- not shut up in some building and forbidden to go elsewhere. This church system in our world today STINKS. Love ye Jo |
