Hello All Politically Concerned People,
In California yesterday, just outside of San Francisco, five teenagers were sent home from school for wearing American Flag Apparel on the fifth of May. The reason given is that the flag apparel was "racist" against the 40% population of hispanic students attending the high school and that the fifth of May was a Mexican holiday.
I can now declare, loudly, that the politically correct movement has collectively gone insane.
Since when, ever in our history, is it not o.k. to be an American in America? Since when is it not o.k. to be proud of the flag that our forefathers and mothers fought and died for, and continue to protect and defend at this very moment? Just when did being pro-American mean anti-anyone else; that one is easy; IT DIDN'T!
Quite frankly, If the wearing of American themed apparel offends you, on any day of the year, go back to your own country and stay out of mine. Love it or leave it baby!
The funny part of this incident is that at least two of the five teens were hispanic themselves. The statement the five friends were making is that even on the fifth of May, what counts most is being an American, not their ethnicity! Do they sound like racists to you?
As Americans we can and do celebrate our differences, it is what creates the rich tapestry that makes us unique and helps to make us great; but where the rubber meets the road, America must come first. United we stand, divided we fall. This should be a history lesson taught in every U.S. school. Has it been left out of the curriculum at this school? Is it missing from your schools? Maybe it is time to check.
Thank you for listening.

Arizona's New Immigration Law
Hello All Politically Concerned People,
I have just read the new Arizona immigration law and YEA! A State that is finally acting in the best interest of citizens and legal residents. The law supports the federal immigration law, creates penalties for U.S. employers who break the law, and actively addresses the consequences created by the Federal government failure to enforce our current immigration law. The law should be in place in every state.
The illegal immigration problem in the U.S. has created a variety of negative consequences for many Americans. First, it has stressed hospitals all over the country to the point of closure. Thus, taking away necessary and needed health care providers in particularly lower income areas. Nurses, doctors, and hospitals do not work/run for free even if people wish them to. By reducing or eliminating the illegal alien problem the amount of uninsured people drop significantly, thereby, reducing the cost of health care for those of us who are paying for it. Second, it has stressed school districts across the country. Additional buildings, ESL programs, free lunches, larger class sizes, elimination of art and music programs, are only a few of the costs incurred by school districts because of the illegal immigration problem. Third, there is a direct correlation between the flow of illegal drugs, the flow of illegal immigrants, and an increase of crime; not limited to murder, rape, racketeering, robbery, breaking and entering, assault, and money laundering just to name a few. These are only a handful of the problems created due to this illegal immigration problem.
The current U.S. national debt is about $14 trillion dollars and the U.S. taxpayer is responsible for paying that debt. Illegal workers and the U.S. employers who employ them do not pay their expected tax debt and that problem is further compounded by the significant use of social services to the combined tune of about a third of a trillion dollars per year with projections that increase that amount to a half trillion dollars within the next five years.
With the economy in the precarious position it is currently located, the double digit unemployment rates, global economic instability, global terrorism, and the current government attack on capitalism in favor of socialism; The U.S. can hardly afford the cost of itself, let alone the cost of millions of illegals. In light of these facts this Arizona law is the most reasonable law I have read in quite awhile.
For those naysayers who claim it will be about racial profiling, give me a break! Just because the majority of illegal immigrants in the U.S. are from Central and South America does not mean this law is racial profiling. It would be the same as saying our federal immigration law is racial profiling as well, or any law that someone disagrees with discriminates against them. The laws of this country exist to protect our citizens and those we allow to legally reside or visit here. We, as a country, do not owe illegals anything but we do have a responsibility to the American people to send illegals and their associated problems back to where they they come from.
All I can add is; It is about time! Let's bring this Arizona law to every state!
Thank you for listening.
