Wow, I'm sort of scared that people actually hold views like this. You have some interesting points, we are a nation of immigrants, and the language of the nation is English. However its also worth pointing out that being an immigrant is already hard enough, it doesn't need to be made harder.
What really disturbs me about your post however is your use of the recent Terrorist attacks to justify an opinion about the rate of naturalization. The only connection that I can see between the two subjects is that they both involve people who were foreign . Most people would be forced to concede that your painting with a pretty damed broad brush there.
As to your "in god we trust" and "love it or leave it" bullshit, well thats one of the saddest crocks I have ever heard. The single greatest thing about this country is the ability to change it. The sort of lock step mentality that your advocating is downright undemocratic, people should be criticizing the government early and often, not waiving flags and acting like cattle.
