Historical words of wisdom

The year is 1907, one hundred and 7+ years ago.

Theodore Roosevelt’s ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

‘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

The key word is loyalty. Loyalty and patriotism are virtually non-existent in a large percentage of people that live in the USA that enjoy its freedoms. They are using the gift of freedom they were given to conspire against the government.

I have said this many times. One way to eliminate a good portion of the terror threat in this country is to deport everyone that is not a citizen regardless of their race, color,nationality or creed.

The USA’s kindness and generosity is mistaken for stupidity and I have to agree. Take my word for it; “the bleeding hearts will not come out on top.”

It is America’s generosity and benevolence that were its strong suits; these same qualities that made it great are going to help bury the country. We have to recognize when enough is enough.

By opening the floodgates of the immigration doors with no regulations and restrictions was not a very well conceived or well thought long range plan and the country is paying for it dearly in many ways. The best has yet to come!!
