Today’s post on my friend Chocolatechic’s Blog really got me to thinking. The gist of that post was that President Bush was not wrong to enter into the war on terror, his error was in thinking that America today was the same America from yesteryear who stood behind and supported it’s President, who were patriotic and would sacrifice for the cause.
American’s today are selfish, self-centered and care more about saving the whales, homeless animals or the planet than their own country. Now hear me: I care about whales, homeless animals and our planet too; but I love this country. I love this planet. I also love my freedom and the freedom that my forefathers fought so hard to give me and I don’t take that lightly. Freedom is not free: it was bought with a great price. It was paid with blood. Blood of soldiers for our freedoms here on this earth; and the blood of Jesus for our freedom from hell.
I hate that so many are trying to create new laws and regulations to strip us of our freedoms. All because some folks don’t have a lick of common sense; and others have no morals at all and use their freedom in immoral ways. I love this country. I’m thankful for the freedom we do have. But I hate to say, I’m bordering on no longer being proud to be an American. This country, with it’s outspoken actors and big business leaders tossing around their clout and voicing their opinions as though they speak for the masses. They do not speak for me! It’s a sad thing when money is what gives you a voice. At least with the internet – and this blog – my voice can be heard.
I stand for God. I stand for my country. I support our troops. I stand for freedom. Even if I don’t 100% agree with every decision made by the leaders of this country – I will still stand in support of them. I will voice my opposition in the polls – not in the media. That’s the American Way.
