America, Home of the brave land of the free

America, Home of the Brave, Land of the Free.  Slogans seldom carry the weight of the one I just quoted and it’s up to us, this generation of Americans to keep it strong.  We have to take every opportunity to find the flaws in our system and correct them without giving up on our liberties.  America is strong because of our free society and our enemies would like to see us turn it into a police state where every move is questioned.  The crafters of our Constitution saw and anticipated the problems of a big government and built safety guards into the document to protect us from an overzealous Executive, Legislative or Judicial body.  We as a people have to take responsibility for what is going on around us at all times,especially at large events.  The goal of our forefathers was religious freedom above all, but when a religion takes on the role of politics and calls for the extermination of all others it has to be classified differently.  The radicalization of the Muslim world has spread throughout this country with the protection of our own Constitution and Bill of Rights. 

As the United States of America has developed as a country over the last 240 years it has been with the assimilation of many different religions and cultures.  When we see a definite separation and failure or refusal to assimilate into what has become the American culture of freedom for all we should be alarmed.  The conclaves of Muslims in our larger cities have gone so far as to demand sharia law in their communities.  Women are forced into the role of property and carry little voice in their communities.  We as Americans have laws that are supposedly representative of all people who live within our borders, why then should we allow a different standard for anyone else.  Would we allow a community of just Catholics or any other religion to impose their own restrictions on Americans living in their community?  Would we allow any other nation to build a settlement here with their own rules and regulations governing over our Constitution?  The answer is a resounding no! 

They should either assimilate or go back to where they came from if they like the laws and conditions there better than ours.  Over the years our Hispanic population has become more and more isolated.  The history of Hispanics is a proud one in the building of America yet a new culture of entitlement has taken hold of many.  People who come here legally have shown the desire to become one with our nation or they wouldn’t have waded through all the red tape and restrictions on the process.  When one comes illegally it is not with the desire to assimilate, it is generally to take advantage of this great system.  

That’s my opinion, I’d like to hear yours.
