ENGLISH SHOULD BE THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE FOR THE USA


This picture has nothing to do with this blog. The Cases are back. I enjoy watching the critters playing in the yard. This is obviously a budding construction supervisor, (riding).

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

"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 man's becoming in very fact 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, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...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

This Roosevelt was a Republican back when the Republican Party was a party of principle. The Democrats were the slavery party during the Civil War, against integration all during the 1900s, and are the anti-American party now.

Here's the words to "Let the Sun Shine Again in My Heart"

1) I remember the time when I first knew the Saviour, When the sunlight of blessing so flooded my heart. Oh the sweetness of "first love" with Jesus so near me, And I thought such devotion would never depart.

2) Then how sweet were the scriptures, they spoke to me daily, How they guided my steps; but my zeal did not last. And the sweet place of prayer where I met with my Saviour I neglected, and so soon my joys were all past.

3) Lord, I come now again for forgiveness and blessing, As Thy penitent child I am seeking Thy peace. For the blood paid my debt and Thy Spirit within me Bids me come to my Father, my wand'ring to cease.

(chorus ) Let the sun shine again, Let the flow'rs bloom again; Stir the embers of love in my heart! Holy Spirit reprove, then embrace me again; let the sun shine again in my heart!
