Angry ** Proud to be American!!! **

And F.U. if you don't like it!!
Read Below:
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 nations 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, 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.

If you agree, pass this onto other Americans!! It is time to take a stand!!

the flags were ordered off the fire trucks cause they were worried that a). it would cause riots from non-patriotists, and b). idiots would grab them off the truck and burn them or something. It's quite a coincidence that september 10th I started reading a book called "patriot games".

oh, and if you want a real example of dumbasses in action, cirtain activists demanded that berkley have nothing to do with the fight against terrorism or they would boycott the city! The head of the activists was on a show (I forgot wether it was the spin zone or something) and the host said "Wait a minute lady, aren't you being a little stupid? Thousands died in the World trade center" and the person replied "We have to think about the victms in afghanistan". That is an example of retardedtry(I know it's not a word)

Amen...

I fully agree Xanth.
The only reason I'm learning anothe language is because you have to know one to getinto college... If I didn't have to, I wouldn't. Example: Your freind comes over to play Tribes. He then sets up his very own config that makes no sense to you... But you're forced to use it because he's too lazy to use yours.

If he's going to come to YOUR house and play on YOUR computer, WHY CHANGE YOUR CONFIG?
That's why I agree.
