Patriotism

There are those that claim that ours is a sick society, that our government is sick, that our country is sick, that we are rich. Maybe they're right. I submit that I am sick. I am sick of having policemen ridiculed and called pigs, while cop killers are hailed as some kind of folk heroes. I am sick of being told that religion is the opiate of the people, but that marijuana should be legalized. I am sick of commentators and the columnist canonizing anarchists, revolutionist, and criminal rapists but condemning law enforcement when such criminals are brought to justice. I am sick of being told that pornography is the right of a free press. That freedom of the press does not include being able to read the Bible on the school grounds. I am sick of paying more and more taxes to build schools when faculty members encourage students to either tear them down or burn them.
