>> "How True"
>>
>> One of my sons serves in the army. He is still here in Canada. He
>> called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to
>> him, and his fellow soldiers, everywhere he goes, telling me how people
>> shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight,
>> for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also.
>>
>> But he also told me about an incident in the grocers' shop he
>> stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the quarters.
>>
>> He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman
>> dressed in a burkha.
>>
>>
>> He said when she got to the checkout she loudly remarked about the
>> Canadian Flag lapel badge the cashier wore on her blouse.
>>
>>
>> The cashier reached up and touched the badge, and said proudly,"
>> Yes, I always wear it and probably always will."
>>
>>
>> The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to
>> stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
>>
>>
>>
>> A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm
>> around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and
>> gentle voice to the Iraqi woman:
>>
>>
>> "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man
>> have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and
>> accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen.
>>
>>
>>
>> It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own
>> country, we wouldn't need to be there today.
>>
>>
>> But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and
>> clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so
>> you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously
>> here, in MY, country to avoid."
>>
>>
>>
>> Everyone within hearing distance cheered!

Well I live in the USA...the land of opportunity...as I always say..."Give us your tired, your weak"...Ummm yah know the statue of liberty...yep liberty....The land of the free...the home of the brave...
Now I live surrounded by people who hate me for what I was raised to believe in...If I were a christian...I'm not aloud to say..."Merry Christmas" anymore....it's called something lame like..."The Holiday Season" or "Seasons Greetings" because I just may offend someone...
Also...on our money in the USA...it says: "In God We Trust"...I know ...ok I'm an atheist but still...why should it be changed...our forefathers made it what it was...they fought for freedom...yep freedom...I got a $5.00 dollar bill yesterday and looked at it...it had writing on it in black magic marker...they had made "Lincolns face out to be hitler"...and at the top where it said.."In God We Trust".they changed the God to Satan..it also said things like "I have sex with 3 yr olds etc,. and "This nation is going to hell...all of you"
I dont' like the idea of someone from another country coming to the USA and changing our constitution or are rights as far as our freedom of speech...religion etc,.....after all...in their country they don't have that option...so why come down on us ...???
IMO...they have fought in the "holy land " since the beginning and they will fight till the end...bring the troops home...you can't change what is a normal every day occurance for radicals...
And they call us "Infidels"...Go back where you came from and see who the real infidels are....don't give us any lip about us bombing your country when you came and killed innocent people just because you don't like the way we live...We can't change you......"YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE US"...We are a melting pot...with strong values...a way of life that is not based on let's kill this one or let's take over that one...
How many times has the USA...went into a situation to help .....only to find ourselves the enemy.... I say close the ports to radicals and let them destroy themselves....
I don't mean the people who come to this country trying to get a fresh start..and have no where else to turn...I mean the one's that think that we owe them something...or that they can come here and change a country to suit them....ummmmm NO!!!! GO HOME!!!! then tell me how you feel...El Bandito
