After enduring another system of TSA security checks during this past Memorial Day weekend, I have decided, enough is enough! Why should good Americans be considered criminals potential? Why should we endure the TSA processing when we are not breaking any laws? Take off your shoes; they could be bombs? Strip off all metal objects? Pass through the upright scanner or; be body scanned by TSA? What’s next? Cavity searches? Most Americans are law abiding citizens: albeit; they may speed once in awhile! This does not by any means indicate criminality. What has placed us under this excessive scrutiny? The Islam faction! So; how do we solve this dilemma? By their removal from our country! Harsh? Maybe! Inpossible? No! They came here and they can leave here!
And; I am not the only American that feels this way! We are being held hostage in our own borders. We have become suspects-unwittingly! And; we are fed up with the constant culture clashes imposed upon our citizenry! Why should we be forced to tolerate Islam’s contrastive counter-cultural demands; while our own culture is being decayed and destroyed by these invading infidels? Islam in not a religion of peace and they are causing good Americans a direct contrast by their allowed presence?
Oh; perhaps you are thinking that I am being too harsh? America is a melting pot that welcomed potential citizens to its shores? I think we need a history lesson here! What was required by the immigrants entering our country in the original understandings? Were the immigrants required to do anything upon entry? Was there a language difference? What about the culture differences? Were they required to learn anything and adapt to their new culture? I am beside myself at this point! The newcomers to this country were required to learn the English language! The newcomers were required to learn the basic laws and the Constitution of America; among other things! Here is the new USCIS proposed test. I will include ten questions as a sample.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) plans to conduct a pilot test of 142 questions on U.S. history and government designed to replace the set of questions currently used as part of the citizenship test. USCIS will administer the pilot test to about 6,000 volunteer citizenship applicants in 10 cities beginning in early 2007.
Proposed New Test Questions and Answers:
1. Name one important idea found in the Declaration of Independence.
A: People are born with natural rights.
A: The power of government comes from the people.
A: The people can change their government if it hurts their natural rights.
A: All people are created equal.
2. What is the supreme law of the land?
A: The Constitution
3. What does the Constitution do?
A: It sets up the government.
A: It protects basic rights of Americans.
4. What does "We the People" mean in the Constitution?
A: The power of government comes from the people.
5. What do we call changes to the Constitution?
A: Amendments
6. What is an amendment?
A: It is a change to the Constitution.
7. What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?
A: The Bill of Rights
8. Name one right or freedom from the First Amendment.
A: Speech
A: Religion
A: Assembly
A: Press
A: Petition the government
9. How many amendments does the Constitution have?
A: Twenty-seven (27)
10. What did the Declaration of Independence do?
A: Announce the independence of the United States from Great Britain
A: Say that the U.S. is free from Great Britain
One thing you will notice in these ten questions and answers is this; there is no mention of Islam, Quran, Allah, Santa Ana, Mexico, etc. etc. All questions and answers are focused on what-The USA! Speaking for myself and other Americans; either learn our culture and language or; go back where you came from! We Want Our Country Back-Now!
