The right to assemble peacefully, and the right to
petition the government are guaranteed us. We can protest our
involvement in war in a foreign land in a civilized and open fashion,
without fear of retribution, so long as we are peaceful. We have a new war upon us, and there are those who would protest. The war is against an evil dictator who is quiescent for the moment. |
|
For those who would protest: your right to carry
signs and march in protest carries with it the responsibility of honoring
those who marched into battle and died for your right to do so. You
must also carry those crosses. So march if you must, but march with
gratitude in your hearts and tears of sorrow on your faces.
You could not so march in the evil dictator's country. You would be executed. |

We face a new and frightening war, both at home and
abroad. Arrayed against us are the possibilities of chemical,
biological and nuclear war, used by an implacable foe who wants to strike
terror in our hearts and kill us. There are those countries of the
civilized world that refuse to join us. They live in a world of
appeasement. To do battle, we will have to put on our war paint and become united. |
|
On September 11, 2001, we were struck at in our own
land by cowardly terrorists. Now it is our turn. Although
there is no concrete evidence that the evil dictator was involved, he and
the terrorists share a common enemy—us. They will use that
commonality to battle us. Let's be that enemy. And let's defeat them first. |
