I believe in a culturally pure America.

[Kirran]

I'm as serious as cancer and nuclear holocaust when I post such things here. America now makes me so embarrassed to be living here. A true American doesn't want to move out of America, though. A true American wants to stay and fight to reclaim her greatness. People, my fellow Americans, be a patriot for the good cause: what else is there?

A totally-rebuilt modern infrastructure and the return of widespread American manufacturing and ingenuity on American soil by American hands and minds as well as academic excellence nationwide would put America right back on top of the world again. I pray for the New American Dream.

Hey man, why should America be on top of the world? What have you got against everybody else in the world?

I feel sorry for you. But not for your goals.

And you think because one person sends in a letter the country/Government will follow it?

One person saved us from the invading British by riding around on a horse to warn us in Colonial America with the dawn of the American Revolution: his name was Paul Revere. He hollered and the colonists heard. Perhaps some of my fellow Americans will read what I say here and follow what I do to add strength in numbers to the cause. You will utilize your PC mice, telephones, quill pens, ball-point pens, postage stamps, envelopes and writing paper to appeal to the powers that be for the restoration of American greatness as the patriot soldiers of the American Colonies picked up their muskets and manned their cannon to take on the crown of King George III.

So you see your self as a modern Paul Revere?

In a sense I do. I don't have a fast charger, a saddle, a cocked hat, a powdered wig, riding boots, tack, a riding habit or horseman skills but I have a powerful Internet connection and the First Amendment which guarantees me the right use it. The New American Revolution will likely be fought and possibly won with digital technology. It's just a shame I can't use an American-made computer and an American-made router as weapons though.

You say you are for free speech, But in this thread you say that Kids who draw the confederate flag need to be punished? Where is the free speech in that for the kids?

Children in school don't have full rights as citizens. I could not cuss at my teacher in the second grade and expect not to be punished.

Of course a child should not cuss toward an adult, but it is a little different from that, to be punished for drawing a flag that probably has been in their family heritage for generations.

Cultural purity starts with high standards in education.

I believe in a well-educated America.

The ultimate weapon against societal ignorance is high academic standards which are strictly enforced by federal law.

I believe in eradicating all that divides us. I believe in the preservation of our national borders, language and culture. I hate "press one for English" with a passion. I believe that the standard American dialect should be taught and enforced in all fifty states. The standard American dialect is Websterian English or the American language. This is the language that is typical of the college-educated adults in San Francisco, California and in many other major American cities.

Southern accents sound ignorant. Southern accents should be eradicated completely in America. Southern accents are typical of hatred, racism, self-righteousness, hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness. The New York and Boston accents should also be eradicated. They are typical of mob mentality and corruption.

America needs to be culturally and ethnically cleansed. There is only one pure ethnicity and culture in America. This is the same ethnicity and culture of George Washington, Richard Nixon, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Joe Namath, Jack Dempsey, Joan Crawford, Doris Day, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Babe Ruth and Neil Armstrong.

It is the duty of the federal government to force schools nationwide to strictly teach the standard American dialect through various legislative and judicial acts as acts of Congress and Supreme Court rulings. It is the moral responsibility of the American people to elect federal officials who stand for such academic excellence nationwide.

I wish to see foreign accents as Spanish accents obliterated on American soil. I want to see Ebonics dropped once and for all in the manner of a hot potato.

America is a melting pot with one exclusive culture in all the world.

I want the American people to start dressing, talking and acting like ladies and gentleman once again. I want public schools to implement and enforce strict dress codes. I want weird hair colors, tattoos, body piercings, buzz cuts on females and beards on males to cease at once. Public schools both educate and condition our citizens culturally speaking. Uniform dress requirements would be ideal in developing young minds and for instilling discipline and national pride.

I want the widespread littering and graffiti in communities, residential neighborhoods, cities, towns, parks and wilderness areas to cease once and for all. I want federal law to require all public schools in the country to have comprehensive litter and environmental awareness studies. I want children in schools to be tested and graded on what they learn about environmental awareness. I want people to once again "give a hoot" by not polluting. I want people to fear serious penal consequences for being lazy and uncaring pig-like animals in regards to dumping trash anywhere and everywhere they please. The sight of litter and graffiti all over our fruited plain saddens me so.

America is only as beautiful as her people and their level of pride.

Yes, it will take tough federal legislation to purify America and make her a shining example among the nations of the world.

Yes, I'm a cultural conservative, an environmental liberal and, most of all, an American striving to live in one proud and glorious nation under the grace of God once again.

There is no such thing as a unified American culture. Washington and Jefferson predate your idea. JFK was attacked because of his religion. Lincoln thought Jefferson was weak.

I agree about an official language. English is the dominate language in the US. It is also the dominate language used for knowledge and knowledge exchanges globally

When 'diversity' includes poor grammar and rude behavior it is never a great or fun thing. It would excite me if a telephone dispatcher for a local taxi company in Lawton, Oklahoma were to politely ask, "Sir, where would you like to be picked up?" instead of impatiently hollering in my ear, "WHERE YOU AT!!!!!!" I wish I could just text for a cab in Lawton so I would not have to put up with a rude tone of voice over the phone.

To each there own. I find local slang fascinating but I prefer talking face to face. Not big on any phone conversation. Facial reactions add to the conversation. Even in the RF debate forum words and meanings are often miscommunicated.

Or, screw your "WASPs are number 1!" mentality. We non-WASPs have just as much right to be here. After all, a good number of us aren't descended from those who massacred the Natives.

Mmhmm. I have the right to my drawl, "y'all", "ain't" and my beard, too.

I'm finding "y'all" and "ain't" just ain't regional exclusive.

Even the Borg sound well-educated in speech in comparison with the yokels in Oklahoma.

Reminds me of a funny riddle.

Q: Why doesn't Texas go floating into the Gulf of Mexico?
A: Because Oklahoma sucks.

Tone of voice also makes or breaks a conversation. Tone is as important as the mere words said. Tone conveys emotion. UUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

Ain't features in plenty of British Isles dialects.

Americans, when properly speaking the American language, have no accent at all. I'd certainly prefer to hear the Queen's English over the Southern drawls.

I rather like the southern accents. When some beaming young lady asks, "May I help you suh", I am all ears. Sometimes I can even tell what part of the country they are from.

Do you think some sort of youth service would help? Maybe get them some uniforms with armbands. That would make them all look the same.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Yeah, a white supremacist one.

That does seem to follow what I am seeing so far.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I have to wonder if it was a poor attempt at satire too or he might have written it just to see how people would react, to stir things up.

At first, but as I read, I think we may have the genuine article here.
