rev....Let it go. Sermons especially. I'll get my sermons where I choose. Not here. Excerpt: _Click here: UUCSS Sermon_ (http://uucss.org/sermons/uu2002-01-13.html)
Our leaders wish us to follow the path of super patriots. They would be happy if we all shouted "My Country Right or Wrong." They want us to blindly wave flags and not ask questions. I will not comply with this. I do not accept the opinion of Attorney General Ashcroft that anyone who questions our actions is giving comfort to the enemy. We need to question. This is a fundamental part of our Republic. We fail as citizens if we blindly accept what we are fed. We also need to look further into this statement. It is a perfect example of a badly misused quotation. The complete quotation is "My country Right or Wrong. When right to be kept right. When wrong, to be set right." This complete quotation is something to which I can pledge my allegiance. =================================== In a message dated 9/14/2007 4:30:10 P.M.
