Preserving American Integrity "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 don't normally post any politics, but I felt compelled to print this Powerful speech that very much still applies to today...I am an American and I approve this message! Let's get back to the basics..** Power to the people to make it happen! What You say?

Just think. If we become a truly free and strong America again, how much the press will have to write about then, and it will be true! God bless America and all who love her! Be well and be red, white and blue, Kathy

I say hell yes, Vivian. I sincerely hope that this coming November will usher in a new way of thinking. I'm not so naive as to think it will be easy even if Hussein is defeated. The news media will still be against the idea of a free and strong America. But we need to take the first step and that first step is to remove the man out of the office of the presidency.
