Email!

Ignorance is on the march! Grab your guns and shoot anything that isn't pastey white and doesn't hold a bible! My relatives have sent forth another email forward. The email (from my cousin-in-law) will be in red, while my responses will be in standard yellow.

Let the headache begin!

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??????

Is it a country of choice now, since you are forcing your way of life on people? What real changes are we making? And which of those changes directly affect your lifestyle? Why is this only a country of choice for you? Do you really think that excessive punctuation will enrage me more than your words?

Think about it!

I have, and now, I'm coaching you through the process.

All we have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS?

Jesus Christ on a biscuit. Which of your rights have been infringed? Go ahead, tell me.

I celebrate Christmas...........but because it isn't celebrated by everyone..............we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings.

No one is saying you CAN'T say "Merry Christmas." You, my dear, have become a sheep listening to the putrid font of Bill O'Reilly. Many public venues, from stores to town halls, have come to realize that not everyone celebrates JUST Christmas. Some people celebrate New Years. Surprisingly, too, some people don't celebrate Christmas at all! Why should we disinclude them in our society simply because they don't practice your religion? Moreover, the birth of Christ, scholars believe, actually happened in the spring, and it is well documented that the use of December 25th to celebrate the birth of Christ is SIMPLY a way for the church to overtake the holidays of another culture. So, my dear reader, there is no war on Christmas, but rather the Christians are waging war on the TRUE holidays of the season.

It's not Christmas vacation, it's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this
winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday?

It's not amazing, it's logical. First and foremost, it is understood that traditionally, all cultures take a time of respite during this part of the year. It isn't unique to America, and it certainly isn't unique to Christians. Perhaps, if you really want a Christmas break, we should kill the two weeks off altogether, and you can have just the one day off. That will be your Christmas break. Then you can even call it Christmas break. But don't get confused, that break traditionally has nothing to do with Jesus.

We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone,
that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that.

You're not offended, you're stupid. How could you possibly be offended. No one is refusing to recognize the validity of your celebration. No one is forcing you to work or go to school on your holiday. No one is encroaching on your freedom of speech.

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!

I'd like a name of the author and newspaper...it doesn't bode well for credibility if you can't name a source. And he did quite a job being a nutjob, but that's about it.

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.

No one is concerned that your patriotism will offend people. I, however, was concerned when your patriotism led to brutal beatings in the streets of anyone who was a muslim: was that patriotism or a hate crime? I began to complain when your patriotism took away my right to privacy and my right to be protected from illegal search and seizure, among many other things.

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.
Outside of Native Americans, every person here is the descendant of an immigrant or an immigrant himself. And what about this "they're stealing our jobs" nonsense?

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.

Being socereign has nothing to do with how many cultures are inside the borders, dumbass. It means that we can make and execute our own laws. Our national identity? Laughable. What, exactly, is the national identity? Is it the Ku Klux Klan? Is it Japanese Internment camps? Is it slavery or dragging gay people by their feet down the road, tied to a pick up truck? Is it apple pie and baseball- pie being a european tradition and baseball being played by people who more and more being drafted out of latin american countries? I think our national identity is one that makes the statement that people can be more evolved than forming government based on tribal customs. We make laws that cover humanity and encourage unity, rather than splitting our people into tribes and keeping kings and dynasties.

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.

Correction: As Americans, we have many cultures based on communities and backgrounds. A majority of us speak English, but a large number of people speak a second language at home, and our lifestyle is dictated by our class system. Our culture, as a whole, has been developed over a short period of time by raping the land, killing those who aren't like the majority, shitting on women, and excluding large portions of the population- only to slowly allow them in the club because you can only hold on to ignorance for so long. It's only a matter of time before we do the same to Latinos.

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!

Correction: We speak English commonly, but many speak Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and whatever it is that the people of Georgia speak. If you wish to be a part of our society, you should learn the language common to the neighborhood. But don't be fooled, we have no official language because the founding fathers didn't want to discriminate against the Dutch.

"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.

I'm sorry, but we don't trust in "God." If we did, we wouldn't be fighting wars to protect our future interests- we would trust "God" to take care of us. Moreover, the people who founded this nation were deists. Frankly, they didn't believe that God actually made any difference in our lives OTHER than giving inherent human rights. THAT is what's clearly documented. You've just never cracked the appropriate books. You've spent your whole life repeating some stupid party line shit that someone else made up. Congratulations, you're a moron.

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.

I'm sorry, remind me again of which part of our culture God is involved in? Would it be the slavery part in the past? How about racism or white collar crime? Is it the hate crimes? Is it teen pregnancy and the outcasting of gay people? Is it oppressing the poor while sanctifying the rich? God is an ornament slapped on our government so that the ignorant people who were used to having their kings use God as the reason for monarchy would believe our government to be valid. Apparently, that kind of retardation still runs rampant today.

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.

I don't think anyone is offended by Uncle Sam or the Stars and Stripes (other than people who have been oppressed under these symbols or whose houses have been blown up by bombs with American flags). I do, however, think that a lot of people ARE offended by retards justifying outlandish hate with a wave of the flag and a salute.

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.

You must be crazy if you have no desire to change things. I suppose you like the crime rate and millions of people below the poverty line. I hate to tell you this, but people from other countries might actually have valid ideas. Wanna know something else? Our original national philosophy was copied from French philosophers. Go figure!

This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle.

Correction: This is a country owned by crooks, stolen from its rightful owners and lived in by ignorant fools.

Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we
will allow you every opportunity to do so!

Assuming you don't speak too loud, because we get offended if you say something different from what we say, and we will do everything in our ability to strip you of your rights.

But once you are done complaining....... whining...... and griping.......

Like you have been for the past few paragraphes.

about our flag.......

No one is bitching about the flag, dumbass.

our pledge...... our national motto........

I say we use our ORIGINAL pledge, and learn the history of our national motto.

or our way of life....

No, I totally love corporate greed and babies going to sleep hungry. I would never gripe about our "way of life."

I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great American Freedom.....

THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

OR, why don't we fix America and allow it to grow the way the Founding Fathers had wanted it- by leaving the Constitution elastic with the ability to create amendments.

It is Time for America to Speak up. If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it!

Here's a better idea: if you don't agree, speak up. Don't let the mouthy retards take over. Don't let our country fall into decay like the dark ages when religion ruled.

AMEN

FUCK YOU.

I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends
(and enemies) it will also, sooner or later
get back to the complainers, lets all try,
please!

I figure that you need a good history lesson, and that you should stop thinking of your fellow Americans as enemies. You've become a tool for the conservative movement. While you're in an uproar over brown people and Jesus, they're stealing your jobs and killing your grandmother with shitty healthcare. Way to go, moron.
