"Let's Keep America American!"

I have seen films of the Olympic Games in Germany when Hitler was in power; as the nations passed the reviewing stand, each country would dip its flag in front of the dictator, except one, the United States of America. The refusal of the U. S. to dip our flag was something the German leader didn't appreciate, but he didn't make an issue of it. Back then, our flag really meant something to ALL Americans; and the idea of yielding to any other flag was unacceptable to all of our citizens.

In the same way, we feel that being an American sets us apart from other nations because of the way our Constitution shows us how important our individual rights are to us; no other laws are allowed to usurp our Constitution. Today, we seem to be willing to allow other governing bodies to affect our legal decisions; this is not legal under the Constitution of the United States of America. We enter into treaties with other nations, but those treaties have no influence on our American Constitution, and they never should!

America is slowly being indoctrinated into the belief that we should move the idea of American Exceptionalism out of our view of America. Our current Chief Executive has made statements to the effect that we should be more like Europe (he should move there).

Recently, I saw an article from the New York Times that endorses the idea of Sharia Law in some areas of the United States as a way of welcoming Muslim culture in America. I've written about Sharia Law in the past; it is barbaric and inhumane and has NO PLACE in the American legal system. Churches have doctrines which they follow, yet none of them usurp civil law. If this policy is accepted, it sets a dangerous precedent, and is totally against our Constitution.

On a related issue: at an elementary school in Colorado this week, our flag was lowered and replaced with the flag of Saudi Arabia! This was a private school; but federal law prohibits any other flag to be flown higher than the flag of the United States. Once again, America seems willing to give in to "political correctness" for the purpose of assuaging a minority group. These things are piling up all across America and they must be stopped! America's laws are defined under our Constitution; no other document or belief system is an option. The American Flag is the flag of our nation, and NO OTHER FLAG should ever fly above it. For those who want Sharia law and a different flag to live under, I have one suggestion: GO AWAY; GET OUT OF AMERICA! Those of us who like it here wish you well in you search for a better place; and don't let the door hit you in the a** on the way out!
