I received this E mail last year, and again this morning. In light of today, I want to share it with you guys.
Hello, This is America!
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 nations flag might give the appearance that "they lean one way or another".
Berkeley, California bans U.S. flags from being dsplayed 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 not to 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 Sept. 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 countrys population is almost entirely comprised of descendants of immigrants; However,there are afew 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 sovereignity 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, Vietnam, Etc.
We speak English. Not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian or any other language. Therefore ifyou 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, christan, Right Wing, political slogan; it is our national motto.
It is engraved 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 or history.
If it is appropiate 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 of our culture and we are proud to have Him.
We are proud of our heritage and those who have so honorably defendedour 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 dont like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this world.
The American culture is our way of life, our heritage, and we are proud of it. We are happy with our culture and we really dont care how you did things where you came from, if it was so superior, go home.
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 to take advantage of one other great American freedom, The right to leave.
God Bless America.

Well said whoever wrote that. That's one thing I can stand up for, this IS AMERICA, and we should all be one, but if you don't like it, then you can go F*** yourself. I'm proud to be American, and proud for what our country stands for. F*** all terrorists, may God find you in the end and hang you all by your toenails!
