...this piece is expressing exactly the way I feel, and I think is safe to say, that the majority of the FReepers share the same sentiment I have.
Am I wrong...?

[danmar]

...bump!

[danmar]

...ping!

[danmar]

...and yet another shameless bump!

The point of America is allowing people to express themselves regardless of intelligence.

We the People, right?

You've got a point right there, but the BIG question is...where do you draw the line...
You have to stand for something, somewhere, somehow, you can not live in a void, even thou is the USofA with all the liberty and justice for all!!!

[PRND21]

where do you draw the line...

I can only draw the line for myself.
People should have the right to burn a flag,
just as I should have the right to kick their ass and pay a fine if caught.

Channel 12 News in Long Island, New York, orders flags removed from the newsroom and red, white, and blue ribbons removed from the lapels of reporters. Why? Management did not want to appear biased and felt that our nations flag might give the appearance that "they lean one way or another".

Since when shouldn't our media lean towards America's side in a time of war? Are they not Americans? What a bunch of tripe. It sounds like an excuse to keep on propagating the usual Anti-American liberal agenda that got us into this trouble to begin with. They will pay dearly if they don't support America all the way during this struggle. People are getting back to the basics and noticing a lot more these days.

All this time I've been hoping for some puny little liberal puke to scoff at my flag pin or make some stupid little remark, but alas, they never have. I was about two seconds from beating the crap out of a peacenik whose group came to disrupt a pro-America/pro-troops rally at my local university, but the cops swooped in to protect that little bastard and his left-wing contingent. Too bad.

I agree with the general sentiments expressed in this statement. There is one critical item to be added, however.

If we are at war, there should be a formal declaration of war, passed by Congress, specifically identifying the adversary or adversaries, and stating the government's war aims. Until we have such a declaration, we are faced with yet another un-constitutional excercise of power such as the episodes in Korea, Vietnam, and, of course, the Persian Gulf. In fact, the 9/11 attack fits in as just one more episode in the undeclared war the government of the United States has been fighting ever since the start of military operations in the Persian Gulf.

"We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation; and this is clearly documented throughout our history."

John Adams

"A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America" [1787-1788]:

"The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses."

Well, Adams was wrong -- it's not acknowledged by conservative revisionists.

We the People, right?

Got your message allright, but this is a two way sword and at the present time and is swinging in the wrong direction as I see it.

Names like Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Charlie Rangel etc. comes to mind, reflecting the voting crowd. Are you ready to be led by this type of people?
Are they reflecting/representing your point of view? Are you willing to more or less let this type of people dictate how you are going to live your private life, by passing all sorts of laws just because it sounds good and is fashionable with the political enviroment?
If you think that you are a fool.

There is an item the founding fathers failed to build in the Constitution...plain common sense!
This is an item that is an a very short supply now a days.

[PRND21]

Are they reflecting/representing your point of view?

No, but their actions today are devastating the liberal base.
Why stop them?

"Every Child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill, because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural Being, toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you teachers to make all of these sick children well by creating the international children of the future."
Taken from an address given at a childhood education seminar in 1973 by professor Chester M. Pierce of educational psychiatry at Harvard University speaking for the Association for Childhood Education International.

"The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith. ....The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new--the rotting corpse of Christianity and the new faith of Humanism."
"A Religion for a New Age," The Humanist - January/February 1983, p. 26.

The Origins of Political Correctness
"We call it "Political Correctness." The name originated as something of a joke, literally in a comic strip, and we tend still to think of it as only half-serious. In fact, it’s deadly serious. It is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.

If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms."

"did not want to appear biased..."

I WANT them to be biased, #%^& it! What is wrong with this picture? Since when is Patriotism biased? And exactly WHOM do they think they'll offend?

[danmar]

Your jingoistic and paranoic rant is no different from the fools of the left who are always spewing out their politcally correct crap.

Say...did you forgot to take your medicine again??Tsk,tsk,tsk...bad boy...

[John Locke]

Hey, don't you dare start a jingoistic rant without me!

AMERICA - LOVE IT OR WE'LL STOMP YOU!

[Cybear]

The point of America is allowing people to express themselves regardless of intelligence. We the People, right? These anti-american bast*rds are not allowing people to express themselves. They are doing just the opposite, restricting peoples abilility to express themselves. As Mr. Garison says: "you go to hell, you go to hell and you die!"
