MOTHERS DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN GROW UP AS STRANGERS IN THE LAND OF THEIR BIRTH!!!
You may be from a lot of places and they may be wonderful places. And I know that you were either a Prince or Princess and that you lived in a castle/mansion and had many servants. That was then and this is now and here you find yourself in this great land and to be quite honest with you, your homeland has failed you as that is why you are here. Your homeland can still remain your home in your heart and you can continue to kid yourself about all the great things that you left at hame and how this place you still call "home" is so much better than here in shabby America!
BUT!!! What about your children? Especially the ones that are born here somewhere between sea and shining sea! Those little American's, yes American's. They are no longer in reality a Bosnian, Mexican, Iraqi, Iranian or whatever, they are American's.
If you wish for them to be able to participate as american's the rules are pretty simple. It starts with Step One. Speak English! If you don't do Step One the odds are pretty much against your children. Want your children to be on the bottom of the economic ladder. Low wages, in other words poor! The odds are pretty much stacked against a person living in America who doesn't speak English as to making it big.
Sure, if they are a great athlete. A stunning beauty. Or some other rare talent then it's ok for them to continue to hide in the shell of their native tongue. Otherwise Not!
Let's be honest, I for one and I am not alone in this sentiment, I do not support, patronize nor trust American's who speak a foreign language.
America asks very little of it's citizens. Basically if you participae as an American you will be rewarded. Work, support your family, just do the routine things and you will be blessed as those in other lands are not. Here all of us can paricipate equally in the bounty of the American table.
American wants her children to be successful. To be successful all one needs is a "good" job and go from there on their own ability. There is no ceiling in America. One can not only reach for the stars, one can obtain them.
Mothers it is your responsibility to see that your children have the tools to live a good life and it is available to them. Teach them English!

GEORGE W. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR GOURD???
THERE IS AN ELECTION COMING UP, ARE YOU TRYHING TO DESTROY THE REPUBLICIAN PARTY??? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE OFF AND RUNNING FOR THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!
Having voted for George W. both times that he ran for President I had thought that I was completely loyal to the man. Now I am starting to wonder what has happened to him. Has he allowed his staff to take control of his mind? I can't beleive the things lately that are starting to pile up that will guarantee the Democrats control of Congress. I would have never though that George W. would do this to the Republician party. The Ports deal, unbeleiveable. Defending the job drain out of the country, Hurricane Katrina, Dick Cheney, the energy crisis, the list is pretty long. Does George W. have no inkling of public relaions.
Can he not get a handle on the simple facts that the public is going to vote his people out of office, i.e. Republicians. Congressmen, Senators and Governors are going to have some pretty tough campaigning to do simply because of George's poor public relations.
Seems like he is trying to guarantee that Hillary will be our next President. Maybe he's sweet on her. Everyone has a secret love.
My dear wife Georgia and I have a new kids adventure/action novel available that we are very proud of and it makes a great read; A Sterling Plan, the book is available on Amazon.com.
