Patriots support values, victory over terrorists
Lynn Emerson-Walsh certainly has a right to express her feelings and concerns regarding the patriots who support the troops and our nation. I had a hard time finding anything I could agree with her on.

They are not war-mongers or pro-war but support freedom for all including Iraq and therefore, support victory. Saddam Hussein did not promote freedom and liberty and murdered thousands of his own people.

In 1990 Saddam started planning an aerial assault with deadly toxins against Israel. He was convinced by an adviser that it wouldn’t be successful because of Israel’s advanced early warning systems. WMDs were transported out of Iraq into Syria by truck and by a 747 and several 727s converted from passenger planes to transports in the summer of 2002.

I have never heard anything offensive coming from their bull horn — usually just “thank you” and their music is patriotic music supportive of our country and I’ve never heard any foul language.

I’m saddened when I see the pagan peace flag representing nuclear disarmament, a flag approved of by a well-known atheist because with the inverted cross it could represent hatred of Christians. Why not a flag with a dove?

 In response to someone who said we should learn to work with Democrats, it’s a two way street and we should all learn to work together as we once did. I was a proud Democrat but I had to leave when the humanist movement took over the party and trampled on the good Democrats and somehow managed to convince them that they had all the solutions. Solutions like more government, more entitlements leading to socialism which is on the horizon, the destruction of family, and the unborn, and coming up, the free rights of Christians.

I’m grateful to our president for his strong moral beliefs and his support for unborn babies and family values and his willingness to protect us from the terrorists that want to take over America. Some Muslims in the Northeast recently said we may soon see the Muslim flag flying over the White House. But again, Lynn and her friends have their right to express their feelings as we all do, I personally have to check the Word to make sure I’m on the right path.
