I just read this fellowing Blog on a new Friends page.
It is both Very Touching & thought out.
Our Leaders in Washington should take lessens from him.
I want to thank Big Daddy for allowing me to reblog this onto my page.
Here is his blog without any editing!!
-----------------------------------------------
I agree that the original author does not have a good grasp on the English Language. If fact, it sounds like he (I assume he) is trying to sound like a red-blooded American hick. However, the point that is being made should be clarified. The United States was founded on some of the basic principles that we take for granted today. The most common one is religion.
This is a country mostly made up of immigrants or decendants there of. It was established by European immigrants and has since included natives and immigrants from all over the globe. This is still true today. Anytime that you have a melting pot of that size, there will be a rich diversity of culture and heritage. This should be cherished, after all, that is what America is.
The point that is being overlooked is that America's National language is English. Does that mean that no one can speak anything other than English, Hell No. What it does mean is that the National Anthem of our Country was written in English, adopted in English, and sung in English. Until we (USA) adopt a second National language like Canada, the National Anthem should not be sung in any other language.
The other main point that this individual tried to convey was that this is a free country. Of course, everyone citizen has the right to bad-mouth the military, put down the government and make direct insults to our Command-in-Chief. After all, it's the military, the government and President that gives you that right. Who's the bigger person? If you, as a citizen, do not like this country for what it is, there are three simple choices, run for elected office and change what you do not like, lobby the elected official that you may or may not have voted for (if you even voted) for those changes, or Leave! Talking shit about the men and women that put themselves on the line everyday to give you that right, should not be tolerated, BUT, that is your right and they are defending your right to do it, as a citizen.
The final point I will bring up on this subject is that of being a citizen. There is a process to immigrate into this country. It is really a very simple process. I have absolutely no problem with immigration, after all, it is what America was founded on. The problem is illegal immigration and the citizens who accept it. When you look a statistics, actual facts, about the crime committed by illegal immigrants, it's mind-boggling. Los Angeles county alone has stats that are phenominal. I won't put them here, but I will provide them on request.
Final thoughts:
-All illegal immigrants should be removed from the United States of America.
-Until a second national language is approved by the government, English should be the only language spoken in any goverment building, facility, or property. The National Anthem should only be sung in English.
-The immigration process should be easy to access and understand.
-Languages that are geographically specific based on the local heritage demographic should be taught to a higher degree in grade schools.
-If you do not like this country, either change it, or get out!!!
Original posting:
IF y'all know me.then you know I speak my mind and I mayb right and I may b wrong..so let me know.
1st off I do not have a prejudice bone in my body that I know of. Every body is equal in God's eyes. Right? ok
2nd OUR military went into other countries from way back in the spanish american war to make our country free for united states citizens and naturals. right again? ok
3rd America IS a free country where people can pretty much do what they want. right again.But
you do not break our rules or disrespect us either.
BUT I think is is DAYUM RUDE for people who r from other countries to be talkin a different language in the us of a. when english speaking americans r around when they get together. Americas primary language is english (I realize that they say that we will become spanish speaking ourselves in the future) But when people do not speak in english and our tearing down our help in our stores or bitching about the service or whatever in a different language it is not fair, nor is it right. Because I know if someone was talking about me I would want to know about it. Then when I say something in their language to them they come back this is america a free country i will speak whatever language i want to me in ENGLISH! and I say america is free because we fought y'all to make it free for our people beleive me that was NOT a free invitation for y'all to come here to the land of the free. If you are going to b in our country and try to b a citizen of our country u need to speak our language, and stop being rude and impolite to us, and finding fault with us too. If you r not happy with what we can give you get the hell out!
I'm sorry, but I speak my mind and this person just really got to me..well actually the whole bunch of them did there were like 20 of them all jabbing away in their own language not realizing some people can b bilingual in this country and do understnd what they r saying. What r the trying to hide ne ways??
DAYUM!!! I'm sorry, but I said what I had to and I think I am right to! For any body I offendd I am sorry also..I'm just putting my two cents worth in IN ENGLISH!
