This was sent to me a few years ago by one of the scrappiest, most forthright, clear thinking guys I ever met, and one of the nicest, who is now departed. It seems especially appropriate at this time of year. Earl, wherever you are, this is for you. Some of us are bad Americans. We like fast cars, nice boats, nice houses, and, naturally, pretty women. We believe the money we make belongs to us and our families, not some government hack with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to illegal immigrants and crack addicts. We don't think playing with toy guns makes you a killer. We believe ignoring our kids and giving them Prozac might. We don't feel being a minority makes you noble or victimized. We have our lives to live as we see fit, and not up to others’ expectations. We may not celebrate your holidays but if you want to, that's fine; just don't feel like everyone else should have to. We believe that if you are selling us a cup of coffee, a pack of cigarettes, or a hotel room, you do it in English. If you are an American citizen you should speak English. My uncles and forefathers shouldn't have had to die in vain so you can leave the countries in which you were born to come and disrespect ours. Get over it. We think the police have every right to shoot your sorry butt if you're running from them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand 'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the previous paragraph. Just because you were not born in this country you don't qualify for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans, or anything else so you can open a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or some other business, while many who were born here can't get past a high school education because they can't afford it. We should celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks. We believe no one ever died because of something some Gangsta Rapper sang. That doesn't mean we want to listen to that crap, but we respect your right to hear it. We think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster or Burger King. Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives to defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell us it's a living document, ever changing and open to interpretation. The guys who wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they meant what they said. Now leave the document alone, or there's going to be trouble. We don't hate the rich. We help the poor. We know wrestling is fake. We've never owned, or were, slaves, and a large percentage of our forefathers weren't wealthy enough to own any either. Please stop blaming us because some prior generations were idiots. Remember, tons of white, Indian, Chinese, and other races have been enslaved, too. It was wrong for every one of them. We believe a self-righteous liberal Democrat with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude. We'd like to know at exactly which church the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson preaches; and what exactly his job is. We own guns. You may own a gun. Any American should be allowed to own a gun, but if it's used in a crime, then he should serve the time. Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continues to make. If it upsets you, then invent a better operating system. Ask your buddy who invented the internet to help you. We don't believe in hate crime legislation. Even suggesting it makes us angry. It tells us that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of this country has more value as a human being that we do. If someone kills anyone, that's a hate crime. We don't need more laws. Let's enforce the ones we already have. It doesn't take a village to raise a child. It takes a parent with the guts to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say "No!" when it's necessary to do so. We will not be frowned upon, or looked down upon, or be made to keep silent because we hold these opinions. This country allows us that right. We will not conform nor compromise just to keep from hurting somebody's feelings. We're neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise. Yes, by some people's definition, we may be bad Americans. Deal with it!
