We Remember, but is it only when it’s Politically Correct?

This article is from This Ain't Hell. We have become way too politically correct. What are the do gooders so afraid of? Why can't a private business display what they want to? I'm really, really, tired of this crap. I'm surprised every day someone in my neighborhood doesn't complain about my flags in the front yard. It's all a bunch of B.S.

I read an article here about how a city erected a veteran memorial that had a cross in it. That city is now being sued.

I read another article here about a small town football team that wanted to wear the names of servicemen killed in action on its jerseys. They were denied by the school board.

I am fed up with all of the shit stirring. I don’t, for one second, think that Jefferson would object to a soldier praying in front of a cross. I don’t think any of the founding fathers would. In the center of the dome of the Capitol building in DC there is a painting of George Washington’s assentation into heaven. If it was ok in 1865, why is the same concept not ok now? Did the constitution change? Now I know that we have changed how we think, and that many of the ideas that were fine then are not now, but I am not talking about slavery, or women’s rights or any of the other hot button issues. I am talking about simply acknowledging what we as a nation are. We are, by and large, a nation of people that believe in a higher power. By putting a soldier kneeling in front of a cross, that city is in no way saying you must worship in a certain way or even that you must worship at all. They are simply saying “We remember.”

The football team has taken the time to learn about the men and women whose names they were going to wear. Those names were selected from not only the most current casualties but from all casualties. I have no doubt that if that team had decided to wear the names of 9/11 victims or the names of fallen civil rights activists, the school board would have been all for it. For some reason we have reached the point where it’s no longer politically correct to support veterans. I for one applaud the initiative of the coaches and players involved. All these young people are trying to do is say “We Remember.” They are doing so in a very respectful way. Are we so screwed up as a nation that if these same young people wanted to run down that same football field waving a burning flag it would be allowed, but to wear the names of the fallen is somehow taboo?

God Help us all.
