Happy New Year Everyone! Below is the BEST email I received all year!
BAD AMERICAN ?
YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN
I Am the Liberal-Progressives Worst Nightmare. I am an American.
I am a Master Mason and believe in God.
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles and believe in American products.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.
My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and
Willie G. Davidson that makes the Awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA ...
We like it the way it is!
If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.
I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution.
Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license.
I think it's good. .... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money.
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.
I believe the president of the United States should put his hand over his heart and say the pledge of allegiance and should have no reservations about wearing American flag pins on his lapel.
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause. Get a Job and do your part!
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.
I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !
If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.
If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know.
We want our country back!
We NEED GOD BACK IN OUR COUNTRY!
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE,
ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE !

By the way, I agree that the American flag should be the only one flown in America and it is despicable how many people have absolutely no idea how to handle it. It drives me insane to see a flag tattered and faded, while the owner is calling himself a good American.
I also agree with several of your points, but I'm trying to get ready for NYE festivities, so another day.
There's a lot in there that is valid in my opinion. I think the religion part is rather inconsistent, with everyone having a right to their own religion and God, and yet God should stay on our money and be brought back in. In the case of the US, despite the founding pretenses of religious freedom, the nation is largely a Christian-esque nation, and 'other' religions are not given the societal respect. There is some amount of tolerance, but still largely viewed as 'outsiders'. Sorry, organized religion and me don't go well together. NPR was interviewing a fellow recently who talked about Christmas being a cultural holiday more than a religious one in the US, and in that sense I'm more inclined to agree with our holidays and God having a strong role. It was some time ago that i read it, but Joseph Campbell's "The Power of Myth" spent some time discussing that 'God' on our money and in our Pledge was more metaphorical, and not intended as a Christian reference.
You know some if this reminds me of the old School House Rock, the great american melting pot song. Now we've got this 'salad bowl' which I personally think is the wrong way to go. To use the Borg term, assimilation into American culture will keep the nation strong. The most powerful things we've ever done have been when we were unified. The last 20 years have seen a nation splitting apart from within, spewing venom at the 'other side', and it makes me wonder how we'll hold together.
