WHAT IRRITATES YOU? ARE THERE THINGS OR PEOPLE THAT
JUST MANAGE TO GET UNDER YOUR SKIN, REGULARLY? ARE
THESE VIABLE GRIPES, OR JUST THINGS THAT GO AGAINST
YOUR GRAIN?
SPEEDERS UPSET ME.
CRUEL PARENTS TIC ME OFF.
UNSIGHTLY YARDS OFFEND ME.
DISRESPECT DURING OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM IRKS ME.
PEOPLE WHO USE GOD'S NAME OR JESUS' NAME WRONGFULLY
GET MY GOAT.
HABITUALLY DIRTY, UNKEMPT PERSONS BUG ME.
YELLOW, TOBACCO-STAINED TEETH TURN ME OFF.
PARENTS WHO DON'T BUCKLE TODDLERS IN IRRITATE ME.
LITTERBUGS MAKE ME FURIOUS.
SHALL I GO ON? I'M SURE YOU CAN ADD TO THE LIST, BUT
I BELIEVE YOU'LL AGREE WITH MOST OF THE ABOVE, IF
NOT ALL.
THIS POSTING, HOWEVER, IS ABOUT A SUBJECT THAT IS
TOO OFTEN IN THE NEWS THESE DAYS, BOTH AT HOME
IN THE U.S.A., AND ABROAD IN MANY COUNTRIES:
NAMELY, THAT OF FLAG-BURNING OF "OLD GLORY"!!
RECENTLY A STUDENT LEADER ON THE CAMPUS OF LSU
STEPPED IN TO STOP A PLANNED ATTEMPT TO SET FIRE
TO OUR FLAG. GOD BLESS HIM.
WITH ALL OF THE UPRISINGS IN ARAB COUNTRIES, IN
PARTICULAR, WE SEE PICS OF DEMONSTRATORS WHO
FEEL THE NEED TO "SEND A MESSAGE TO AMERICA" BY
IGNITING OUR STANDARD-BEARER, THE "RED, WHITE,
AND BLUE". WHY?
WHAT DO THESE RADICALS HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH?
WHAT IS THEIR POINT? DO THEY HOPE TO UPSET US?
ARE THEY ANGRY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T SENT THEM
ENOUGH MONEY?
ARE THEY JEALOUS OF OUR REPUBLIC AND ITS FREEDOMS?
DO THEY THINK WE ARE GOING TO COWER IN FEAR AND
GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT? (DO THEY EVEN KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT?)
IN EVERY INSTANCE THE DEMONSTRATORS ARE
EXHIBITING ANGER - OVER WHAT? DO THEY MIND THE
FACT THAT WE ARE TRYING TO HELP THEM TO HAVE
A GOVERNMENT-OF-THE-PEOPLE, WITH THE ACCOMPANYING
BLESSINGS, FREEDOMS, AND VOICE?
WHAT MESSAGE DOES BURNING OUR FLAG SEND?
IS AMERICA HATED? ARE WE EVIL? ARE WE COLONIALISTS?
ARE WE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OTHER PEOPLES? HOW?
OR IS IT BECAUSE OUR NATION, FOUNDED BY GOD-LOVING
AND GOD-FEARING MEN AND WOMEN, HAS ENJOYED THE
BLESSINGS OF LIBERTIES, PROSPERITY, AND HAPPINESS?
WHAT IF WE WERE TO START BURNING THEIR FLAGS?
WHAT IF WE WERE TO MARCH ON THE UNITED NATIONS
HEADQUARTERS, AND BEGIN TO SET FIRE TO EACH FLAG
OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE WE ARE NOT APPRECIATED
OR WELCOME, OR WHERE OUR FLAG IS BURNED IN PROTEST?
HOW LONG BEFORE WE GET TO THEIR FLAG?
WHAT WOULD BE THEIR REACTION?
HOW MANY WOULD WE DESTROY BEFORE THEY GOT THE
MESSAGE?
SHOULD WE HOLD RALLIES IN THE STREETS AND TORCH
OTHER NATIONS' FLAGS? WOULD THERE BE UPRISINGS?
WOULD THERE BE OPPOSITION? WOULD WE BE STOPPED?
WHAT MESSAGES WOULD WE BE SENDING?
BEFORE YOU ENDORSE, BE COMPLICIT WITH, OR IN ANY
WAY ENJOY THE DESTRUCTION OF THE "STARS AND STRIPES",
THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS.
OUR FLAG STANDS FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE HOLD DEAR.
PEOPLE FROM ALL NATIONS COME HERE TO BE FREE, AND
OUR FLAG REPRESENTS THEM AND THEIR FREEDOMS.
OUR FLAG SPEAKS OF THE THOUSANDS OF LIVES THAT
HAVE BEEN LOST IN DEFENSE OF OUR HOLY WAY OF LIFE.
OUR FLAG MEANS THAT FOR OVER 2 AND 1/4 CENTURIES
OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN A HAVEN, A HARBOR OF HOPE
FOR ALL WHO HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED, TRODDEN DOWN,
PERSECUTED, AND EVEN THREATENED TO BE KILLED.
OUR FLAG MEANS THAT YOU AND I ARE FREE, FRIEND,
TO FLY OUR COLORS, SPEAK OUR MINDS, DEBATE OUR
DIFFERENCES, WORSHIP ACCORDING THE DICTATES OF
OUR HEARTS, AND LIVE FREE FROM FEAR.
WHEN YOU SEE "OLD GLORY" FLYING OR WAVING IN THE
WIND, SALUTE HER, GIVE THANKS FOR HER, AND THINK
ABOUT ALL THAT IS YOURS THAT SHE STANDS FOR.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
