NO BETTER LAND THAN THIS

If I knew a better country in this glorious world
today
Where a man's work hours are shorter and he's
drawing bigger pay,
If the Briton or the Frenchman had an easier
life than mine,
I'd pack my goods this minute and I'd sail
across the brine.

But I notice when an alien wants a land of hope
and cheer,
And a future for his children, he comes out and
settles here.
Here's the glorious land of Freedom! Here's
the milk and honey goal.
For the peasant out of Russia, for the long-
subjected Pole.
It is here the sons of Italy and men of Austria
turn
For the comfort of their bodies and the wages
they can earn.
And with all that men complain of, and with all
that goes amiss,
There's no happier, better nation on the world's
broad face than this.

So I'm thinking when I listen to the wails of
discontent,
And some foreign disbeliever spreads his evil
sentiment,
That the breed of hate and envy that is sowing
sin and shame
In this glorious land of Freedom should go
back from whence it came.
And I hold it is the duty, rich or poor, of every
man
Who enjoys this country's bounty to be all American.

THIS WAS WRITTEN OVER 90 YEARS AGO AND STILL APPLIES TODAY! I have to ask Americans this question. If your house was filled with snakes and you didn't know which ones were poisonous, would you let them continue to live in your home with the people you care about and love? Would you simply say, "Oh, I don't know which ones are the poisonous ones and it wouldn't be fair to throw out the ones that are not, so I'll just keep the whole lot." I'm sorry, but I care about my loved ones and friends and even the people all over America that I don't even know. I would not take a gamble on one of the poisonous snakes biting one or many of us and making us sick or possibly killing us. I'd toss out the whole lot. So why is America allowing terrorists (poisonous snakes) to live among us. Professors, doctors, students, etc. are living here in our homeland, not because they want to be Americans, but for more sinister reasons. Have we forgotten what happened in our country on September 11, 2001? What is happening right under our noses and what could and probably will happen in the future? We need to be and stay vigilant. Wake up and smell the coffee! Don't get me wrong, if someone from another land comes here because they truly, deeply in their hearts and souls want to be an American, in every sense of the word - to fight for America and all that America stands for, than welcome to our land. But everyone else can just get out and stay out! We don't want you here.

And Mr. and Mrs. Obama, the same goes for you. You can't be proud to be an American only when it suits you. If you have lived all of your life here, in America, and something has just now made you proud to be an American, then I don't want you running our country. You should not be in a position to run America. You should have left America and went to another country, somewhere that you could have been proud to call your country, your home.

And Mr. and Mrs. Obama, I have always heard that if you are wanting to join a church and you are a Christian, you should attend a church at least three Sundays in a row, thereby getting the feel of the church and learning the beliefs of the leader of the church and its congregation. If you have the same beliefs of the church (whether it be minister, pastor, etc., along with the congregation), usually the next step is to become a member of the church. How can you attend a church and not know their beliefs? And if you have, for all these years, been a member of the church and been ignorant of this, what does that say about you?

Please, how stupid are we, America? What kind of president do you want? If Obama was a caring Christian and was a member of his church and friends with his congregation, wouldn't he also share in their beliefs? Could he really be so ignorant as to not know how the leader of his church and congregation felt? Was he asleep while sitting in his pew? Would he be as ignorant running our country? Would he care enough about America to be a good president? Or would he be asleep, unaware of what was being said, of what was going on around him? Would America be what he fought for, stood for, lived for? And only America and Americans? Think about that!

And think about this: How many Americans do you know that would actually give their lives to protect this country? How many people do you know that have actually done more then grumble about the unfairness of it all and fought for what they beleived in? What have you done to stand up for our Country, your home, your family?

Is this truly what we have become? A nation whose constitution says we are all created equal, a place where our founders had sailed across an entire ocean to flee religious prosecution, a country that is looked upon and envied for its freedom... Have we truly fallen so low as to not except a future president because he is not a perfect Christian or an outspoken patriot?? I know that most of the households in america do not own a flag, but they are not judged as an unfit americans, and most people in america aren't overtly patriotic unless it's the 4th of July. Do not condemn Obama just because you do not think that he wears enough flags on his suit, or because he wasn't in the military. How can a anybody judge Obama on his patriotism when they themselves wouldn't give a damn about patriotism other wise. As the old saying goes 'make sure your own house is clean before you remark about the cleaning of others'.

How many of you remember this: America: The Good Neighbor. Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record: "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it. When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped. The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars! into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans. I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -! not once, but several times - and safely home again. You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here. When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those." Stand proud, America!
