My First RANT
After a business meeting where I donated a small sum of money to our disabled Veterns, All I kept thinking of the sacrifice these young boys and men have sacrifice for me to live in this country.. Yet we dishonor them by not supporting our troops when they come back in pieces.
I think our country has lost it's identity because we have to assimilate to other cultures. Or we have to be afraid to offend all the time. I love my fellow man... I don't care if he is white, black, yellow, green, orange or red, as long as he or she respects me, pays their taxes and don't intrude into my life, I'm ok with them.
Why do we have to be politically correct all the time. A great example of this is my hometown where on shop windows I read "hablamos Espanol" or something to the effect we speak portuguese. If I puton my shop window "We speak English" I'd be called a racist.
The other day I needed to call my daughters school simply to tell them she would not be in today. I get the following prompt. "Thanks you for calling somename middle school, for spanish press 1, por espanol marce uno, for portguese press 2 por portugeus mark due, for english press 3. Now isn't the point of going to school in the United States is to learn english? Most Americans don't know this but it is a requirement for naturalization to citizenship is to speak english.
Now people are saying by now why are you so harsh.. Well my wife is an Italian citizens with a basic highschool education.. Came to the country learned english and assimilated to our society with a year. So if my wife can do it with no "marces uno" whay can't everyone else?
What about the cost to our American Society to create and produce literature in hundreds of languages? Why does my tax dollar have to pay for this?
