Hallowed Ground - Part 3
Friday, August 27, 2010 at 5:39PM 
This week I've been doing a series on First Ammendment issues, under the banners "Don't Be Stupid" Parts One, Two and Three, and "Hallowed Ground" Parts One and Two. The first series deals with the fallout from Dr. Laura Schlessinger's ill-advised use of the n-word, and the latter with the controversy around the proposed Park 51 Islamic Cultural Center. This is my final post of the "Hallowed Ground" series. It is a challenge to those who devalue and disrespect the "Americanness" of those of us who do not live in "small town America," and yet insert themselves in our affairs when it suits their cynical political ends.
It's a shame just how craven some politicians can be, and the degree to which many are willing to manipulate the masses has been on full display this week. Still, this video is ultimately a call for us all to better educate ourselves about the civic values, liberties and concurrent responsibilities upon which our nation is built. In the end we must determine if we truly believe in Freedom & Justice for ALL - even when it is difficult, painful or inconvenient - or if we are a hollow husk of the nation we were supposed to be. Our willingness to uphold our county's core values in the face of all odds, is in fact the true measure of just how "American" we really are.
Freedom Forever.
