First of all I’d just like to say I’m a 14 year old girl in the 9th grade, just starting high school. I wrote this myself.
I was right. These peace-people aren’t very peaceful. Today (Sunday, March 23, 2003,) I was out protesting with a sign that said, “Thank you American troops” and on the other side it side “Keep America free for me”. I also had an American flag and an American shirt. I was with my mother who also had a sign, American flag, and an American shirt. Most people were honking in support, but some were saying horrible things. One man called us Nazis! What ignorance! And one woman said, while looking at my mother, “This war is wrong!” I said, “It would be wrong if we didn’t.” She walked away with angry mutters I could not hear. She was obviously not expecting a rebuttal from me. She thought I was going to be like the other kids that protest what their parents tell them to and don’t know what their protesting. Well, let me tell you I know what I’m protesting. Well let me get back to the point. My mother and I were crossing the street, and happened to be in the middle of the street, waiting for the light to change. I was holding my poster towards the street with the side that said, “Thank you American troops”. A man drove by in a grey hatch-back with his widow rolled down and said something bad to me. I said, “U.S.A!” And he drove by and through water from a water bottle on me, my sigh (that said “Thank you American troops”,) and my flag. I flipped him the bird (sorry I was really angry,) and saw peace bumper stickers all over his car. Ok, let me tell you all the things that are wrong with that. First of all, there were three guys on the other side of the street that he drove by that had a giant bed sheet that said we support Bush and the war and things like that. He was so much of a coward that he didn’t say or throw anything at them (they were strong guys) but threw water at the little girl on the other side of the street when the guys weren’t looking (they had a video camera.) Second, I never said I was anti-war or pro-war. My sign just said, “Thank you American troops”. This guy is a coward, anti-American, ignorant, fool. If this guy would have just thought about what he was doing or have even read my sign, he wouldn’t have done what he did. And anyways, did he really think that a little bit of water was going to stop me? He might as well have thrown flint and tinder at me, because all he did was get me angry and invoke my flames of patriotism. I WILL go back on the streets and exercise my freedom of expression and speech. It wouldn’t have mattered if he had shot me, because if he had shot at me, he would have wounded my body, not my spirit or what I believe in. I believe in freedom, my president, and my country.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
P.S.- Can some one please tell me why these anti-war people are so mad? And if they hate America so much, why don’t they move to Canada or something?
I have my ways of scaring men &*(%less without the keyboard, dearie---but they'd have to get to know me better first, and since we're talking leftwing men, that would definitely be more punishment to me than to them...
Oh, you all have your ways. (The best of you, anyway.)
