Last week, the Shelby County Alabama
Legislative Delegation hosted a "Stand Up for America Rally." More than 1,200
people attended including featured speakers Chief Justice Roy Moore, Adjutant
General Mark Bowen and Alabama State Auditor Beth Chapman. This is a copy of
Mrs. Chapman's speech, which resulted in five standing ovations, tremendous
applause and an encore. If my memory serves me correctly, it
was not movie stars or musicians, but the United States Military who fought on
the shores of Iwo Jima, the
jungles of Vietnam, and the
beaches of Normandy. Tonight, I
say we should support the President of the United
States and the U.S. Military and tell the
liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippy, tie-dyed liberals to go make
their movies and music and whine somewhere else. After all, if they lived in
Iraq, they wouldn't be
allowed the freedom of speech they're being given here
today. Ironically, they would be put to
death at the hands of Sadam Husssein or Osama Bin Laden. I want to know how the
very people who are against war because of the loss of life, can possibly be the
same people who are for abortion? When the USS Cole was bombed, there
were no movie stars guarding the ship - where were the human shields then? If
America's movie stars want to be human shields, let them shield the gang-ridden
streets of Los Angeles, or New York City, let them shield the lives of the
children of North Birmingham whose mothers lay them down to sleep on the floor
each night to shelter them from stray bullets. If they want to be human shields,
I say let them shield the men and women of honesty and integrity that epitomizes
courage and embody the spirit of freedom by wearing the proud uniforms of the
United States Military. Those are the people who have earned
and deserve shielding! Throughout the course of history, this country has
remained free, not because of movie stars and liberal activists, but because of
brave men and women who hated war too. However, they lay down their lives so
that we all may live in freedom. After all - "What greater love hath no
man, that he lay down his life for his friend," or in this case a
country. |
