Traitors (aka me) Should be Hanged via Atrios amarillo.com | Opinion: Letters To The Editor: Another name for war protesters 12/03/03: "There are some, though, who do not appreciate this freedom. I call these people traitors; they call themselves protesters. They are nothing more than an infectious disease that infests the minds and hearts of the Americans we are defending. It consumes the honor and courage within its host until it kills the very patriotism that made this country. Of course, the way the game is played in the BloggerDome, you hold something like this up to smear your opponents saying in effect "this is just another example of the blah blah blah conservative blah blah mindset blah..." implying of course that all people of a particular persuasion feel the same way. I would like to think they don't (and here's your chance to say that you don't). As a soldier you take and oath to defend the constitution, a document that states that people not only have the right to free speech but also the right to peacebly assemble. You are not there to defend your own perverted idea of patriotism in which the only acceptable way for people to "fight for their beliefs" is through violent methods. Being a soldier does not make you a patriot. Firing a gun does not make you a patriot. Believing in the ideals that your country represents makes you a patriot. It doesn't matter if you're a Doctor, College Student, Stock Broker, Janitor or a Soldier. If you don't think people have a right to excersize their freedoms then just what are you defending, oh guardian? I am nothing more than an infectious disease. | |
