If you can get past the flag saluting and general gung ho-ness of what's below this could apply to any country welcoming (read as absorbing) the poor oppressed people (read as dregs) of other countries. No offense to the one or two Americans here. LOL!


Got it via an email from a friend, guess where he's from. Hehehhehee


Also saw an article in a newspaper while back in the UK, it's headline ran "These riots in France have nothing to do with ethnic freedoms or racism based. It's because riots are fun!" I agreed with the author of it.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN





"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

man's becoming in very fact 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, and this

excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as

much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...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
