One Country, One Flag, and One Language

Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker that said, "One Country, One Flag, One Language." Seeing this bumper sticker made me feel that this country is slowly heading in the right direction and turning in favor of national pride and personal rights and freedoms. People need to abandon the "hyphenated" American. Are you an Asian-American, African-American, maybe All-Your-Basean? NO! You are an American, period. If you don't like this point of view then get the hell out of my country. We have one flag, and I'm not talking about that wimpy Puerto Rican flag (that the United States owns), but I'm talking about the flag with 50 stars and 13 stripes...your flag. Do you speak another language? Good, I speak 3 different languages...but you live in America you WILL speak English. I'm not even talking about that nasally sounding British English, but I'm talking about American English. Are we supposed to accommodate for those immigrants that do not speak English? If they want to live in America where the official language is English...then yes, you will speak English and no, we will not accommodate for your lack of ability to understand English. Sure, you can go ahead and get an interpreter to help you understand...but at your expense. There should be no need to translate all documents into Spanish when the English document is perfectly fine. Are they now going to translate these documents into Chinese, French, or Pig-Latin? Well, the answer is no therefore, why should they translate any document to anything other than English? The reason why translating documents has been an issue is because the politicians want to "accommodate" for those that do no speak English to gain votes and power. It makes more sense to have people learn English than to just translate official documents to any other language. However, this thought requires common sense, yet it seems that the rest of the nation does not recognize this error in thinking. By further accommodating immigrants only further waters-down our nation. Back when America stood for the "Land of Opportunity" and when people kissed the ground when they first saw the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island these immigrants wanted to be labeled as an American. Their flag was no longer the flag of Tyrants, but their flag was now the American Flag. An American label was one of the greatest titles one could have due to the personal liberties from tyrants and the freedom to express one's opinion. These immigrants worked hard and learned the language of the land because they knew that the only way to succeed in a nation was to understand what the people were saying. These days it seems like you can walk to the local -4 (i.e. 7-eleven) and get your citizenship papers processed immediately. This cheapens those immigrants "hard work" that came to this land to become Americans. I rather have an immigrant that wants to be called an American and works hard, than a rich immigrant that wants to live in America and prosper but calls himself a "Mexican", "Italian", or anything other than an American.
