I also got this......some food for thought........

THIS SAYS IT ALL...........

After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered, I believe this is even more appropriate. Read on, please! This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published in a Tampa newspaper.
He did quite a job; didn't he?

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS and CANADIANS, MUST ADAPT.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the ********* attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans and Canadians. 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 and Canada being a multicultural national identity. As Americans and Canadians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our community has served only to dilute our sovereignty 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 Stripes and Maple Leaf's 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. These are OUR COUNTRIES, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his or her opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flags, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other great American and Canadian freedom , THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- I don't want to hear about it.

That was the most stupidest article i have ever read.
Just goes to show you how ******* one sided that mother ****** is.
First of all ALOT of people that immigrate into this or other countires dont do it because they want to, they do it because they have to. Alot of countries are at civil war and the citizen's of that country either die in it or have only one choice and thats to leave that country.
Seconldy there are aloooooooot of people that I know personally that have told me they rather live in the country they were born in then here reason being climate, ways of life etc.. but have no choice.
Third America is a good country cuz its got all the rights and **** but America thinks of itself too much, just because the country has the money, the power, the watever wat nots doesnt mean the country has the right to infiltrate other countries and other country related problems that does not directly concern it. Thats why Osama attacked america in the first place.
Now about the whining and **** yah i agree there are alot of things that immigrants and **** whine about but then again where would a country like Canada or America be without immigrants? The army is not only made of white people there are different colours there aswell and who are they fighting for? the country they love right? exactly
so this writter has no right to say who is to leave and who is not too. Because if there is no complaints and no whining and nothing then a country could never improve itself and man kind wouldnt evolve faster either.
I personally feel really offened by this article and I feel that this person should think it thru before talking ****.

PS> One more thing just because they came into that country shouldnt mean they should give up everything thy had ie. religion, culture etc...

No ones saying they have to give up their religion, but things that **** me off are for instance, why can't we say Merry Christmas anymore? That tradition was here a long time before other beliefs came to North America. If I moved to another country and they celebrated say, i dunno, Ramadan for example.. I wouldn't have a problem whatsoever if on every wall every poster every tv show every song, they said something about that holiday, because it's part of the country that i'm living in. Having to say Happy Holidays, is such a cop out! I was born here with Christmas, and now that people are coming here from other countries i'm supposed to change to accomodate them? My mom immigrated here because she had to, she had nowhere else to go, did she try to change everything? no, when you go to live somewhere sure you can pratice whatever religion you'd like, carry your own customs and so on and so forth, but they can't expect to change the society and culture that they are joining. And when they tried renaming the Christmas Tree downtown, the Holiday Tree?? WTF? i just don't see why everythings so one sided against the majority. Just like they can have Black Entertainment Television, but not White Entertainment Television, these are things that can be argued forever, i just think that in our quest for equality we end up giving up too much to the other side....

I don't care what Mel says.......I have a CHRISTMAS TREE.

BUT....the thing that got me thinking was this.....

After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered,

So I guess ANYONE could now use her DL.

Just curious.......does anyone else seem to think that this is wrong?
