ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny

October 20, 2001

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Here's what I predict:  The Politically Korrekt Kommissars will soon be
thrown out on their ears!  I predict that one of the unintended and, as far
as the Kommissars are concerned, highly "undesirable" consequences of our
changed world since "9-11" will be a vigorous return to national and ethnic
homogeneity - and with it, to old-fashioned values.

And as far as we are concerned, we say High Time, Indeed!

More and more voices are being heard that say without flinching that this
multicult business with all its fudged values has never done anyone any
good - and has, in fact, been the one variable that has led to the
disruption, degradation, degeneration and eventual demise of many
civilizations in the past.

As hard times will assail us more and more, like will be attracted to like,
and homogeneous communities will form who will rediscover the strength,
comfort, safety and pooling one's ethnic resources that come with being
with one's kind.

Here is a perfect example of such a voice - its author only known to us as
"Lee":

[START]

_____ Broken Arrow, Oklahoma School officials remove "God Bless America"
signs from schools in fear that someone might be offended.

_____ Channel 12 News in Long Island, New York, orders flags removed from
the newsroom and red, white, and blue ribbons removed from the lapels of
reporters. Why? Management did not want to appear biased and felt that our
nations flag might give the appearance that "they lean one way or another".

_____ Berkeley, California bans U.S. Flags from being displayed on city
fire trucks because they didn't want to offend anyone in the community.

_____ In an "act of tolerance" the head of the public library at Florida
Gulf Coast University ordered all "Proud to be an American" signs removed
so as to not offend international students.

I, for one, am quite disturbed by these actions of so-called American
citizens; and I am tired of this nation worrying about whether or not we
are offending some individual or their culture.

Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, we have experienced a surge in
patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks
had barely settled in New York and Washington D.C.  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. In fact, our country's
population is almost entirely comprised of descendants of immigrants;
however, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our
country, and apparently some native Americans, need to understand.

First of all, it is not our responsibility to continually try not to offend
you in any way. This idea of America being a multi-cultural 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, called the "American Way" has been developed over centuries
of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have
sought freedom. Our forefathers fought, bled, and died at places such as
Bunker Hill, Antietam, San Juan, Iwo Jima, Normandy, Korea, Vietnam.

We speak English, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any
other language.  Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society -
learn our language!

"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not  some off-the-wall,
Christian, Right Wing, political slogan - it is our national motto. It is
engraved in stone in the House of Representatives in our Capitol and it is
printed on our currency.

We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian
principles, founded this nation; and this is clearly documented throughout
our history. If it is appropriate for our motto to be inscribed in the
halls of our highest level of Government, then it is certainly appropriate
to display it on the walls of our schools.

 God is in our pledge, our National Anthem, nearly every patriotic song,
and in our founding documents. We honor His birth, death, and resurrection
as holidays, and we turn to Him in prayer in times of crisis. 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 and we are proud to have Him.

 We are proud of our heritage and those who have so honorably defended our
freedoms. We celebrate Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and
Flag Day.

We have parades, picnics, and barbecues where we proudly wave our flag. As
an American, I have the right to wave my flag, sing my national anthem,
quote my national motto, and cite my pledge whenever and wherever I choose.
If the 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.

 The American culture is our way of life, our heritage, and we are proud of
it. 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.

We are Americans, like it or not, this is our country, our land, and our
lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his
opinion  about our government, culture, or society, 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!
