Assimilation
I firmly believe everyone residing in the United States should assimilate.
Give up their foreign ideology.
Learn the language.
Swear allegiance to the Constitution.
Pull your pants up.
* Be able to speak and read passable English * Understand and behave according to expected social behavior (e.g. don't spit on the sidewalk, don't throw your trash out the window, do walk on the right) * Treat other people respectfully
If so, I don't know how many of us are assimilated anymore!
A secular society? No. That sounds like one bereft of religious expression. A society that respects individual beliefs, wherein the citizens are allowed to express those beliefs in the public arena without fear of reprisal? Yes.
If this is what you see as reprisal then how can we resolve it? Deny homosexuals the right to a civil contract because of religious objections? Accept a literal translation of Genesis?
Fundamentalists are just going to have to accept certain restraints.
"Deny homosexuals the right to a civil contract". There's not a Christian I know opposes that. Marriage we oppose. Being forced to accept transgenders in our private areas. Prosecuted for hate speech.
Certain restraints are fine. Losing your teaching job for questioning evolution?
This bigot is totally with you, Ed. If those who didn't agree with you would stop and question you further, they might learn you're not a bigot.... Faith can't exist anymore, Ed..not for lefties with a supposed 'open mind' who deem you immoral for the traditional, healthy values which kept us going for so many years... (now slavery will be brought up as a 'value' I support, tho that's always been the farthest thing from anything I've written...wait for it...1, 2, 3.......) Darn, if you don't want to kill babies, you're just not allowed your feelings, Ed. GROW UP (sarcasm)
Amen. A sound policy.
ReplyDeleteThis was the actual immigration policy until "Swimmer" Kennedy changed it up ( well except the voting Democrat part).
It's the way we learned it in grade school.
DeleteThat's a tall order. No I still get my free healf care and obama phone?
ReplyDeleteDemocrats will fight your suggestion tooth and nail, Ed. Especially the voting for Democrats part.
ReplyDeleteThey sure have.
DeleteDoes assimilate mean:
ReplyDelete* Be able to speak and read passable English
* Understand and behave according to expected social behavior (e.g. don't spit on the sidewalk, don't throw your trash out the window, do walk on the right)
* Treat other people respectfully

PS I agree with your post.
I don't think a number of are assimilated, given the democrat vote.
DeleteI concur on every point.
ReplyDeleteSmart people seem to agree with me. :)
DeleteA secular society? No. That sounds like one bereft of religious expression.
ReplyDeleteA society that respects individual beliefs, wherein the citizens are allowed to express those beliefs in the public arena without fear of reprisal? Yes.
P.S. I agree with your post.
ReplyDeleteI concur on every point.
I am a smart person.
Is the reprisal severe, Ed?
ReplyDeleteJust what form does it take?
Evolution taught in schools?
Discrimination against gays prohibited?
Abortion still legal?
If this is what you see as reprisal then how can we resolve it?
Deny homosexuals the right to a civil contract because of religious objections?
Accept a literal translation of Genesis?

Working for Ed, I assure all readers he is as large of a pathetic bigot as his blog implies.
ReplyDeleteWell there's a ringing endorsement!
DeleteThe "anonymous" ones always carry the most weight in my book.
DeleteThanks for noticing. I didn't know any of my employees (only a handful) read this. Or felt that way.
DeleteAnonymous is probably a whiner slacker. Should be easy to spot.
DeleteThat sure sums it up Ed. Bottoming lining it. :)
ReplyDeleteamen ED! Happiest holidays to you my loyal patriot friend!!! xoxoxox :0
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
ReplyDeleteThis bigot is totally with you, Ed.

I tried growing up years ago.
DeleteIt didn't seem to take.
Total agreement here. Works for me! ~:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sparky!
DeleteTwo thumbs up, Ed.
ReplyDeleteI know you wanted to give three, but you, unlike me, are not all thumbs. Thanks :)
