Antiwar = Unpatriotic?
The other day I was accused of being unpatriotic because of my views regarding the war in Iraq. As an ardent protestor to this war, I was greatly offended by these remarks. Although I do not support the war, and personally feel that President Bush deserves to be impeached for the lies that he told to get us into the war in the first place, I support our country very strongly.
In defense of all of the antiwar citizens of this country, I hereby claim that by opposing the war, I am showing more patriotism than any of those war mongering fools in the White House. Few things have been more detrimental to the American people in recent memory than this war and by opposing it, we are fighting for the lives of the thousands of American soldiers that are put in harms way daily for the sake of the president’s ego. Who actually supports the troops, the men that send them to die or those who fight for them to be brought back home? Also, our country was founded on the principle of protest. We are simply using the right of free speech to carry on an American tradition, insulting an acting government openly and publicly. Now I challenge all of you, every peace loving teenager in the country, to come together and protest the war openly. Anyone who calls you unpatriotic is simply a fool and they do not deserve your time or your attention. Thank you.
From the brilliant mind of Mike Kean, your friendly Sergeant at Arms.
