The very reason I typically dont even bother typing out responces, but in this case... since it's been awhile and AA is always a good place to start a virtual cock fight for sharing your opinion:
No doubt, Political Corectivness is a ridiculous notion and the minority in America is of European decent. No need to beat that horse, but I wanted to share my view on sniper101's granny's post if I may...

IMMIGRANTS,
NOT AMERICANS,
MUST ADAPT.
Yeah. Who amoung you are not of NATIVE decent? Is your familly Immigrants?
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.
Proud I am, yet I have not had a single person tell me to "cool it" I was being disrespectful... can't imagine why..
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.
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.
Yeah.. you are an immigrant too. Your culture has such atributes as Rap music (African), Hollywood (French), & Cars (Ford was a child of Irish Immigrants) The American Language is Latin/Roman. It most resembles English (England) because naturally we used terrorism & guarila warfare to rebel from them. The millions of men & women spoken of are without a doubt 98% immigrants
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!
We speak American Latin. We are also one of the very few countries in the world who have such a poor education that we are only required to know one language. Most European countries require three before HighSchool. Flaunt our ignorance... go ahead.
"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.
In god we trust is not the original national motto, E Pluribus Unum is. Which is LATIN for "One from many". If god is part of our culture, and it is right for us to display it at school, ect, then who are you to say that YOUR god is the real god...when I believe that King Leroy of the Wasnots is really god. Can I get a little support for King Leroy please?
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.
Again, most traditions in America are from Immigrants. I dont know anyone that starts a bon-fire in the backyard and practices the ghost dance to show thier respect for the dead.
This is
OUR COUNTRY,
our land, and our lifestyle.
No it's not. You raped, killed and destroyed the rightful owners of this land. Your the product of European invaders.
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.
THE RIGHT TO BE HIPOCRITICAL

So, that should ruffle some feathers. I fully support the advancement and evolution of America. I cannot express the pride I have to know that my daughter , who is in the first grade can speak Spanish! She has no hate for people who are different, and is much more prepared for the world than my sorry Alabama hick ass was.
Christmas is no more celebrated for what it represents than Thanksgiving is. Yet we dont seem to make much of a cultrual fuss about destroying a entire civilization for the sake of Wal-Marts now do we?
Before someone gets the impression I'm a disgrunted Canadian Bible-thumper or something...
I'm of Cherokee & Irish decent. Just as much a European invading bastard as you are, except my decendants raped more than pillaged.
I'm a US Army vet, and am currently serving in the Guard.
I'm a buddhist.
Just a viewpoint fellas, felt like typing tonight.
