Did You Say Freedom?
Contrary to popular belief I do not get angry very often…..but when I do it is usually about patriotism or the use of the word freedom……and especially when it is about veterans and their treatment by the country and/or politicians……
I have a real problem when people use the word freedom too easily…….
Freedom? A word that is used to influence and confuse. I have been reading comments on many different sights and it seems that there is a common thread….the use of the word….FREEDOM. These people imply that they and they alone know what freedom is and that they will defend it with their vote to protect America from other Americans….I find that extremely insulting. Insulting to the point that they are the sole protectors of freedom and others who think like them and the rest of us are some how enemies of this country……
Thinking differently is not an assault on freedom…..if anything it is a re-enforcement. But by attacking people that have different thoughts is an attack on their freedom that is guaranteed by the same document that these people use as a prop on every occasion.
While you were warm in your bed…….while you were playing with the kids…….while you were trashing your political foes……..these people were doing what needs to be done……
Browse…..take some time to see those who defend you……..These people took the term “freedom” seriously………do YOU?
Unless you are willing to go through what they go through….then STOP using ‘FREEDOM” as some bullshit political prop! I am not picking on any one political party….they both are bullshit institutions that need to be replaced by real people doing real work to help this country….so far I see NO one of these dipsticks as anything but self-serving toads…….
