Its no surprise by now that i'm a conservative person. I don't like people talking about how this country is awful and lost its place in this world. Hey if you don't like it, LEAVE! There's only millions of people that would take your place...
In his most recent CNN.com posting, Glenn Beck disects a bitter Philadelphian discussing why we shouldn't have celebrated this 4th of July. What's Right with America? Plenty is the article de jour. However, Glenn doesn't focus on attacking this POS, he in fact puts perspective on the positive things that America provides its citizens.
While Chris Satullo from the Inquirer cites our lackluster track record with prisoner interrogations, the information that is required to really assess the situation is not available (NOR SHOULD IT BE) to really validate his entire argument. I don't claim to know what is really going on in these "secret camps" our government allegedly has, I can only hope that as Americans, our security is the first and foremost priority and will be kept by all means necessary. So go ahead Mr. Satullo, play monday morning quarterback...its easy to be brave in writing. Just know that you are able to write those awful things, only because someone else is doing the fighting for you! Mentioning our heritage and independence, Mr. Satullo says we have let our founders down. I'd like to know how our founders would have dealt with September 11th. Would we have let religious fanatics take over the world, or imprison them as untrusted people (remember Washington had slaves!)
On the Positive side, Glenn reminds us that despite our setbacks in combating terrorism, we are still the best...
"So, for at least one day, lets just remember that America still leads the world in the principles that matter most: the rule of law, freedom of religion, equal rights, freedom from an oppresssive government and, fortunately for the Philadelphia Inquirer, freedom of speech."
ah, nothing like a warm fuzzy on a friday afternoon...
