Do you have a issue with the current immigrant issues - I DO NOT - as long as follow what was said 100 years ago!
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, th e American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Every American citizen needs to read this!
Who said this! Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 and I agree completely! To bad our congressmen today can't learn from one of our past presidents!

Mike,
I agree with you 100%. I am sick and tired of this diversity crap. Teddy Roosevelt said it all.

I too agre as well. For the time the statement had great Old School Values. But I doubt it will ever be embraced by the Majority again. As long as the over acknowledgement of diversity takes precedence over fundamental American principals we are losing the point. This diversity acknowledgement has allowed a subculture to form, that is not participating in America's prosperity but being parasites of it. We cater to and support these non english speaking people by supplying them with more opportunities than our own. We are paying for and supporting the the demise of this country. Phew. I think I will go have a little of the Captain. Maybe he can get his hook in me so I can sleep. |
