Step Up America! It Takes a Country

* Claiming the war in Iraq is about greed for oil.

* Vengeful attacks on our President in the wake of hurricane Katrina.

* Blaming the inhuman behavior and bigotry of fundamentalist Muslim terrorists on America.

* Shamelessly ridiculing the religious beliefs of fellow Americans, only to defend our most vile enemies.

* Spreading anti-government propaganda across our nation's college campuses claiming the voice of patriotism

* Joking about terror alerts as though they correspond to the political climate.

The list continues. Have you been witness to this spreading doctrine America? I am certain I am not the only one observing how trendy it has become to be anti-America, anti-religion, and anti-everything. America bashing has become the new fad being flaunted about like the latest fashion. What an irresponsible waste of energy and intelligence.

These self proclaimed “patriots” are taking aim at those who are the only protection between us and a brand of hate that civil rights activists are all too familiar with. This campaign has snowballed into defending the indefensible. The incomprehensible acts of terrorists- these prejudiced, hate filled, animals who are seeking to hijack Islam, are being blindly defended by many who are flying the banner of social justice. It is one thing to campaign for peace, but another thing entirely to campaign against our defenders. We sent our military to the middle east to do battle with an enemy who brought their Muslim supremacist war to our soil. America is doing exactly what we set out to do after September 11th and this important fight continues. All of us should be showing our gratitude and doing everything in our power to support our troops in this effort.

The detractors tell us that disliking President Bush and the war on terror is not the same as disliking America. Yes, this is true. But as citizens of this country, Democrat or Republican, what price are we willing to pay for this lack of support? Will our bond as Americans, who share in the knowledge that our freedoms are a blessing worth defending, bring us together in response to these threats? Or will we allow the anti-war crowd to continue spreading their fallacious arguments? These fanatics do not just think they are the future of the Democratic party, they think they are the future of America. Their bullying tactics and self declared monopoly on goodness and intelligence must be challenged directly, for it is more than just fellow Americans they are alienating- they are driving a stake into the heart of this society that may prove a fatal blow. These social meddlers are using every human weakness as weapons in their dirty work. Natural disasters, racial tensions, wealth disparities, illiteracy, HIV... all symptoms of the human condition are seized upon as ammunition in their campaign to dismantle this republic.

I hope America wakes up to this dangerous trend. It is obvious how important we all feel it is to be in position to claim the political high ground, but there is a rotten stink about us that must be removed regardless of affiliation. Our allegiance to this country should be enough to put differences aside to teach these anti-American crusaders a lesson. It is not too late to reeducate these actively seditious citizens that we are not called the United States for nothing. Defending your country does not require that you be a Republican, approve of President Bush, or his administration's policies. However, tolerating, applauding and encouraging this mockery of our military is treasonous in my book. Defending this country requires our support. Whether we like it or not, we are all faced with a critical fight for this country and its future. We now have the responsibility to support our military and our President in this endeavor. Our leaders must be pressed to finance the security of our soldiers abroad, better support their families here at home, and moved to actively protect peace loving citizens everywhere.

Our President has responded to the threats posed us by terrorists who seek the destruction of the West and all of our allies. We may not all be ambassadors, terrorism experts, or soldiers capable of military service, but we all have the opportunity to, at the very least, accept the responsibilities of our citizenship as those in our military and our President have. We have all been called upon to step up and do our part in defending this great nation.
