Reply #14: So un-American that it proves they are traitors [View All]

[Generic Other]

I was thinking about the words to the national anthem. The idea of our colors flying in the face of any danger. That is what I was taught Americans believed.

"Oh say can you see
by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we hail
through the twilight's last gleaming,
And the rockets red glare
the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there..."

WHAT DO THESE WORDS MEAN TO AMERICANS? More than just trauma to one's vocal chords. They mean that we would HONOR our country's laws and principles no matter what! That rockets and bombs could not stop us. That tyrants could not stop us. Nothing but our complete and utter destruction could stop us from defending our country from its enemies both external and INTERNAL!

We fought and won a revolution to prove that. We fought a civil war to preserve this idea. There is no compromise. Postponing or cancelling our right of free elections will signal the end of democracy in our country.

You are absolutely right, Will Pitt. It is an extreme act of cowardice unworthy of any American to even suggest postponing or cancelling an election out of fear. And where George Bush is concerned, one wonders whom he fears more: the terrorists or the electorate.
