A close friend called me on Friday BESIDE HERSELF over comments she heard one of them (Sharpton/Jackson/etc.) say that was aired on the radio. It was re: the "don't salute the flag" thingy... "We don't owe this country ANYTHING! America owes US!"

Black and white children have been told for a generation that America is not a good country and requires no respect, and being American means nothing but oppression. Everybody is a victim of something!

Well, the clearmindedness of children saw right through the fallacy of that position as our nation was attacked. Viscerally, they realized that they are American and they want to be proud of being American. Showing the flag, Pledging Allegiance, singing patriotic songs all of a sudden became cool.

We conservatives must capitalize on this moment to help children develop a deeper feeling of love and respect for our country. It is not a black or white country, but one that has achieved what we now have by the sweat of ALL of our ancestors. They ALL survived hard times to make this country great. EVERY American child needs to know this, instead of the vitriol spewed by Al Sharpton and his cronies.

Hmmm....Sharpton is planning to run for president. Is this going to be the platform on which he runs? How about using it as his campaign slogan..."We don't owe this country ANYTHING! America owes US!" If he should ever get far enough as to actually run for the highest office, this quote would make a wonderful Freeper sign for Freeping him wherever he goes!
