Message There was a deliberate reason for my use of "mute" and =
not moot. I do not believe that this is the proper time to have =
discussions such as who we support, or how many faults we can be quick =
to point out.
I guess I am just compelled at this time because of the =
Patriotism I feel right now. I have spent my short life growing up =
seeing how even though we live in a free society, there are people who =
feel the need to remove my freedoms, and who wish to belittle me, and =
others, because of our belief. The same hypocrites who ask for equality =
in this world, also want to take the freedom they are fighting for away =
from others. I am not saying you are one of them, I am just merely =
stating that the sense of Patriotism that to me has been missing in this =
country since the early 80's is now starting to peak it's head out, and =
there seem to be people who want to bash it on the head before it has a =
chance to stand up.
There are many things that we as citizens of the United States =
would like to know, and if we don't know about it, that does not mean =
that it isn't happening. Everything you know about this government, so =
does the enemy. So I guess this is where your "blind faith" has to come =
in. We as a nation must have faith in our government right now, what is =
our alternative? And yes there is a difference between expressing your =
opinions, and belittling someone else. Opinions expressed, are for the =
purpose of change through intelligence, talking about a man badly who =
you do not support is for the purpose of hurt through emotions.
