Awww, I give up - I've deleted somehow the post with
the titles of those books and Mr Kahn's first name, too,
if it was in the previous post - please send it again, privately ?
so as not to annoy other people who aren't as cross-
fingered as I am .... Thanks !

My wife forwarded this mailing from a friend of hers. Thought it would be
appropriate to send, in light of some of the recent threads.... Enjoy (or
not, whichever).

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??????
Think about it . . .

All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? 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. It's not Christmas
vacation, it's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS
occurs over the Christmas holiday? 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.

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!

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
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.

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!

"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 take advantage of one other great
American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
