We will begin this post with a disclaimer: I neither support nor fight against our current war. I don't believe I have enough information to make that decision because I have been lied to by so many "Officials" I can't decide what's right and what's wrong. With that, we'll return to our regularly scheduled post.
Disclaimer #2: After I finished my prior post this morning, what I intended to be my Memorial Day post, I went surfing to read the news. I came across the information that prompted this post. I think the news that prompted this post couldn't showcase the feelings I expressing in my prior post more perfectly.
What the FUCK??
The President of The United States today appeared in his role as the leader of THE FREE WORLD today at Arlington National Cemetery. He stood there (as a draft dodger) and placed a wreath on the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier.
Then he went home and signed a new bill, the "Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act".
Remember: LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD
Signing: LEGISLATION THAT REMOVES YET ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE FREEDOMS.
If your government is afraid of what you have to say, and your government enacts laws taking away your freedom to stand in the open air and say what you believe when you want to, then your government isn't YOURS anymore.
What a FUCKING HYPOCRITE! Maybe that protester does respect the lives of those dead soldiers, and believes that maybe they shouldn't have died, and is expressing that respect by standing up and saying so. Being president does not give George Bush the right to decide who is a good American and who isn't based upon their opinion of HIM and his policies.
FIRST, he created "ZONES" for political protesters at conventions - round them up, lock them in a controlled area away from the media and the observers and the participants. Let them rant and rave all they want as long as no one can see or hear them.
NOW, even if it's your dead soldier brother they're burying at Arlington, you do not have the right as a American citizen to stand at his funeral and shout out NO HE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO DIE.
Honestly, honestly, honestly, how does taking away a freedom enjoyed by Americans for 200 years PROTECT MY FREEDOM?
