I was thinking today... and I came up with this question... i'd like to see if any of you guys can give me a good answer to it.
We just celebrated our Independence Day, which got me to thinking about this: We are so blessed with the freedom we have here. It didn't come freely, as we all know. It took wars to get us the freedom we now so easily forget to be thankful about. But why is it... that the same people who are picketing about the whole war issue right now... them being against it... are some of the the same people who are using their "freedom of speech" and what not, to get homosexual marriages legalized. They wouldn't even HAVE that freedom to fight for what they want if there wasn't wars to get that freedom in the first place. It just doesn't make sense to me. They wont fight to continue to have the freedom of speech and all that they have NOW, but they want to fight more towards other freedoms that they would like to have as a US citizen. We all know the saying "Freedom isn't free", but why do so many people forget that? Yeah, we live in a "free country" but it didn't come easily and it wont stay that way easily either. There are people out there defending our freedom right now and all people can do here in the US is argue about the war going on. Do you WANT the freedom we have today to be here for the generations to come...? If you want to use your freedom so much... why dont you support those who are out there trying to fight for us to keep it?
