Double Standards

I am an American. I was born here. I was raised here. My family has been here for over half a millenia. A distant relative stood up for Texas and ended up being the first president of Texas.  Over half the men in my family have fought and served for the freedom of this country.

When I think about where we are headed today It makes me quite sad. We are cleansing our society to be staunchly neutral to not to offend visitors to our country. However, in turn we are not treated the same abroad.  There are differences in every country and there are things we believe together. In civil societies we just respect one another and agree to disagree.

However, when you bring a war to our shores I expect the indiviuals who want this war to stand up fight like they believe what they are fighting for is worth it. You call yourselfs  soldiers for Islam. Freedom Fighters, not when you hide in the shadows and kill innocent people with the belief that in heaven you will have many virigins waiting for you.

Voilence will only begat more violence. Until one side is dead and the other stands. As in democracy usually majority wins.  The beheading of our soldiers only fuels our desire for victory. Our beliefs help us endure the time to our victory comes. I am tired of the U.S. News agencies only reporting the death toll, bombings, and the mistakes the troops make.  There are good things that happen over there. Report them. Quit sensoring stories and tailoring them in which it will generate ratings. Journalism has lost it purity. Now it is generated to increase ratings and obtain viewers. Exploitation has become common place in the press.

 This is my word for the day. May yours be a blessed one.
