Cindy Doesn’t Speak For Me
August 24th, 2005 . by CaryI think she can stand down. She has made the point the media has wanted her to make and the President has made it clear he is not going to meet with her for a second time.
I wasn’t going to write on this, but it just kind of snapped this morning. As a veteran, if I had died while in service of my country and my mother decided that she needed to protest the president, I would come back from the dead just to slap her and remind her that I had volunteered for that service, and I believed in what I was doing right up to the end. My mother would have no right to demand the president answer for my demise. My mother would have to comfort herself with the fact that I died doing what I wanted to, with no regrets. Yes, that’s pretty rough, but you know what? There are no guarantees in life. That includes whether or not you end up burying your parents or they end up burying you. It is not for man to say; the timetable is in God’s hand and He’s not sharing.
I think that we may not totally support the war, but we must respect the voluntary decision of the troops who want to serve the country in the bravest way possible.
That’s the least we can do for the sacrifice they are making for our freedom.
Very well put.
Thank you for the input!
