Anyone close to me knows not many things stand between myself and my country. I consider myself very patriotic. I love this country and the men and women that protect it. I believe our constitution was written by some very wise, brave and patriotic men who understood morals, ethics and family values.
I understand the freedom of speech. I hold it to be a core value in our country and something that has made us the country that we are.
I know that with this blog I will hear a bunch of "what if" comments as this is not a cut and dry topic.
It really bothers me that we have become a country where the law has become so black and white and the right and wrong has been set aside.
Yes the constitution guarantees the freedom of speech. But at what cost? And how do you invoke the right and wrong without jeopardizing an entire nation.
I guarantee you, our fore fathers did not write the constitution without morality and feelings involved....
Tomorrow an American hero will be laid to rest.
He willingly, knowingly and unselfishly decided to join the United States Marine Corp to defend this very freedom we love and enjoy. SSGT Jason Rogers died in Afghanistan on April 9th 2011... A Marine... A defender of our freedom and a true American hero.
Some have chosen to use this as a platform to protest the war, abortion, gay marriages and anything else they find unethical.
Is this legal? Yes it is.
Did SSGT Rogers die defending these people and their freedom to do this? Yes he did...
But it's not right. It's not moral. It's not ethical.
How can you call yourself a Christian and protest what you believe to be unethical and immoral in such an unethical and immoral way?
At some point our country, our leaders and our citizens must put morality back onto our society.
The constitution wasn't written to be so cut and dry. It was written with emotion and morals.
I know there's a ton of what ifs to be said, but wether or not you agree with the war, the man is dead! And he should be honored tomorrow for his sacrifice.
If you disagree with other things, fine. This is still not that platform to discuss them.
The members of Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka Kansas should neither call themselves Christians nor Baptists...
You are a cancer on the soul of this country and I pray that you rot in hell for bringing your disgraceful acts to my town and try to tarnish one of America's bravest men in the hour of his passing.
I know many peaceful people that will be there to try and block you legally without any intent to harm you. I just hope one bullet hits it's mark tomorrow and people piss on your grave for eternity.
Rest in peace SSFT Jason Rogers... We all love you and are grateful for all you did for us.
I just wish there was more I could do for you
