this is the worst thing i have ever read
goddamn. i get like eight of these a day from my grandfather. how do i politely tell him i don't agree with any of his views, and that most of the emails he forwards me are actually insulting MY religious/economic/political views?
this is the worst piece of shit i have ever read.
i hate the idea that if you're dissatisfied with this country, you should leave. don't stay and try to change things, don't exercise your right to free speech, just leave. and if you do leave, you don't get to go to europe or canada or trinidad or wherever. in their eyes, it is the u.s. or afghanistan. apparently everything outside of the united states is afghanistan.
this has a title, but it's shitty, so i'll give it an alternate title using a quote instead...
if you guys think america's so bad, why don't you move to russia?

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 composed 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, 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 to take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
i cannot even go in to all the things that are wrong with this. i used to forward this stuff to josh so he'd laugh to. i don't know why i did that. all that ever happened was he'd come over and use it as an excuse to get on his political soapbox and spew chomsky quotes at me. wow! you read a single book on politics! you're so informed! now run off to the MILITARY BASE where you work, josh, and yap on and on about anti-militarism! be a good little component of the military/industrial complex!
