God Bless America
Freedom of Speech. It is an interesting concept. I have heard we have it here in this country -- as long as you don't use it. Under W. Bush's reign of domestic terrorism, where fascism, big brother, and censorship are the order of the day, I considered that the American concept of liberty and democracy have become tarnished. In other words, the flag has become defiled, or dirty. As an Eagle Scout, I considered it my duty to respond in-kind, and according to established guidelines.

If the public dialogue contains nothing but "politically correct" then what is the point?

Admittedly, I am also inspired by the media rhetoric over the incendiary remarks by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's now former preacher. From whence the censorship commeth is a debatable point, but the furor over the "black Church's" point of view, in context, serves to obscure the reality that there are many more people in this country who agree with the Reverend, many of them white, to one degree or another. (Although, don't consider it an endorsement either. At this time I don't anticipate that I will vote for anyone the Democratics, or the Republicans, offer in the general election.)

I am as patriotic as any American, and I have defended the Constitution. It is the right thing to do. ("Dr." is a moniker that I assumed for awhile in order to facilitate a point. It shouldn't be taken too seriously.)
