There you go again, banging your "Fund A Mental Cases" drum. You're starting to sound like a broken record, Red.
Hey I thought "Fund A Mental Case " was clever and I really enjoy using it. If it bothers you then that makes it even better.

BTW, please go **** yourself, I bet when you get some you aren't such an A*** little b****.

No prove that God doesn't exist. I can't prove he does either! Really you have an opinion as do I. Neither is fact.

I agree with almost everything that guy wrote. In fact, I had the same exact thoughts myself. What I don't like is that his statements are too obvious, like 'Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!', and 'As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle'. As if anyone ever doubted that!

There's no way to stop immigration -- even if we stop taking in people from overseas, people from Mexico are always going to be crossing over. We need to improve the Mexican economy, then people won't have as great an incentive to come here. Not that immigration is inherently a bad thing. Immigrants do jobs that American citizens would never do themselves (i.e. janitorial work.)

he says that immigrants should give up their culture? america is made up almost entirely of immigrant decendants, who does he think made 'american' culture? it was the combination of all of the immigrants, be they british, french or other, and that is how american culture was made. my $0.02

scary scary aren't we mean.

I never said it bothered me. Re-read the two sentences if you need to.

Apparently I must've bothered you however. It seems you definitely have an axe to grind.

The article started out alright, but it didn't take long to turn to crap. The whole God part was mostly irrelevant, except for maybe a few points. Throwing shits over "In God we trust" in the classroom is wrong, but so are Christian educational agendas. You can't outright deny what this country was founded on, and likewise you can't shove every last detail this country was founded upon down people's throats either. Class prayer is acceptable in communities where religion is a strong foundation, anyone who wishes can respectfully decline to participate. Actually teaching religion is inappropriate.
As far as immigration, illegal immigration needs to be cracked down upon. Legal immigration is all good. The national language here is English, and English it shall stay. I don't want to see roadsigns or anything like that in English. If you want to live here, you should learn English. Anything the government does should be done in English. In many ways I frown upon businesses doing things in non-English, but I don't think it should be discouraged in any way. They should be free to cater to whatever market they choose.
Many minorities complain about the lack of integration of their culture or society, which in many ways is true, but it is equally true that they freely segregate themselves into their own communities and make little effort to mesh with or add to current American society/culture. PC liberals thinking they are doing good by treating minorities like special kids on the shortbus does NOT help, it only makes the problems worse. If they are Americans, treat them like Americans. If you're not going to treat them like Americans, then they certainly shouldn't get priviliges above Americans.
And finally... if stars and stripes offend you, then get the hell out. this is THE flag of THIS country, the one you CHOSE to live in. If you have a problem with it, you clearly have no business being here.



The author of the article severely weakened his argument by claiming he has nothing against immigrants and following up later by saying OUR country. That doesn't cut it, it's the immigrants country too (as long as they're legal). It should be OUR (us & immigrants) country, not OUR (us) country with immigrants living in it.

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.


a lot of these millions of men and women were immigrants (and i'm not talking about the original puritan / native american arguement). all he wants to do is maintain the status quo... if they had decided to do that a while back, then our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle would not exist...

its a infinitely recursive loop as i see it...

culture:
new culture = old culture + outside influence;
old culture = new culture;
goto culture;

... i'm such a geek...

""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."



Our forefathers were agonistic. The in god we trust was put on money and most other parts of the US by religious people that came into office later. Most Americans left Europe (Great Britain) because of religious zealots like this. Government and religion should be separate, like most of our forefathers had wanted.

I kinda see where this person was getting at but they really did a poor job of arguing it.

As with some ppl, I hate all this politically left wing cr@p trying to help the "disadvantaged". If you don't speak English, how far do you expect to get in this country or even the world? If you come to America... guess what... our primary language is English!

I'm still waiting for a lawsuit claiming that an employer was discriminatory for not hiring the person since they didn't speak English. Oh wait.. has that already happened already?

he says "if god offends you..". does god offend you? if you dont believe in god, he cant "offend" you.
He can't. It's those who pretend there is a God who can be offensive.
