Worthy Quote:
July 24, 2009 by Steve Elledge
Here is a quote that makes alot of sense to me:
“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, the 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.”
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
I like this one alot.

What the hell did this Teddy guy know?!?!
Seriously, what happened to this country? I can’t een begin to imagine what it will be like for my kids. Sad, whn the government knows so much more than we do, and takes our money to turn us into the opposite of what our country was founded on. Hard work no longer pays off–instead, you are penalized for being sucessful so that illegal immigrants can have health care benefits!?!? So I can press one for English? So my kids don’t get to say the pledge of allegiance? So God isn’t on currency, in courtroom walls, money and statues? So we can protect those who intend to do harm instead of worrying about the victims? F that.
Hmmmmmm ????????? Headline puzzles me ?????
Sarcasm dad… Sarcasm.
I would certainly hope so! Got me that time. I owe you.
