PODREM ALGUN DIA PARLAR TANT CLAR?

El nostre país està molt lluny de la llibertat que ens mereixem. El nostre relativisme moral, no només com a Catalans mig derrotats en diverses gueres, sinó com a ciutadans d'una vella Europa, ens fa sovint, massa poc clars en l'expressió dels sentiments més profunds. La correcció política sembla imposar-se per damunt del sentit comú i així, en nom de la llibertat, reprimim molts dels sentiments de la nostra condició humana. Si el procés d'evolució ens fa més sofisticats i, al final, els resultats són globalment positius, a leshores, visca la complexitat. No obstant, si els conceptes més elementals es perden en el marasme de la correcció i del relativisme, francament, em sembla que anem per mal camí.

La manca de la sovirania que ens permeti definir i decidir el nostre futur; una legislació que s'obstina en tractar-nos com una reserva d'indis americans; els fluxes migratoris, tant del Magreb com de Sut Amèrica i un cert declivi de la nostra capacitat de creure en nosaltres mateixos com a poble, ens pot acabar debilitant.

Una amiga que ting als Estats Units em va fer arribar un article des del sentit més patriòtic dels Estats Units, en el que s'hi evidencia la manca de manies per tractar els temes des d'una fortíssima convicció identitària i nacional i, també, des d'unes conviccions morals que no cal amagar.

Tant de bo, que el nostre país i Europa també, puguem parlar clar sense embuts i apliquem lleis, normes i el sentit comú que ens permeti ser líders i gestors del nostre futur.

Us poso aquest article, perque en part, perque em preocupa que els Estats Units ens manin; em preocupa que el meu país i europa no siguem amos del nostre destí; i em preocupa que, si hi ha una situació de crisi de veritat, els qui en pagarem els plats trencats serem nosaltres.

Aquestes reflexions són les que he fet després de llegir l'article que seguidament us adjunto en còpia.






"Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:
I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things likethe United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down yourdoor.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban youfrom driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHABURKE?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry a-- if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word"freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or taxbreaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary,and say "NO!"
I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that newlip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"?Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather wasfrom Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else
And if you don't like my point of view, tough...
DON'T PASS IT ONBlock quote startBlock quote start
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITHLIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understandingwhy there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% toShut Up and BE QUIET!!!
