Why should the government close a street and disrupt traffic - especially traffic in an already congested area - for the benefit of a select few? Our government should act for the benefit of ALL AMERICANS, not just individual groups. Closing the streets for a parade in observance of a national holiday - and by that I mean a holiday which celebrates our country, its patriots, and important milestones in its history - is one thing. Closing the streets for a parade or a festival that celebrates religion or a foreign culture is just plain wrong. With all due respects to those who would celebrate Wherever-American Day: if you believe that Wherever is such a great place and worthy of disrupting America to celebrate it, why don't you go back to Wherever, and leave America for the Americans. I could very easily hyphenate my heritage (although it would take a lot of hyphens to cover it all), but I don't. I'm an American. Period. And I'm proud of it.Until next time... Anon_e_mouse |
