Matts Apache Tigress's blog: "An Angry Proud American"

This afternoon while browsing various profiles I came across this one... http://www.myspace.com/rainsgold What I saw as the main profile picture revolted me to the core and made me extremely angry! I could NOT stay quiet as a damn proud American and as the Fiance of an Honorable 19 yrs Active Duty Navy Hero!! The father of my 2 sons is retired Navy! I was not and will continue not to take this kind of thing from ungrateful American cowards! Unlike they like to think these days..True Proud Americans - including Democrat,Republican,Independent,Libertarian - have the right to speak our voices too and to be heard and heard LOUD and CLEAR and PROUD! If what you see when you visit that profile upsets YOU as much as it has me I encourage you to use YOUR American Freedom of Speech to let this particular person know that what she is doing is NOT cool and is a direct slap in the face of all past, present and future military heroes both living and deceased! Your Proud American Friend, Kimberly Below is what *I* thoughtfully and very heart felt wrote to her just a few minutes ago: First and foremost, I respect your right and freedoms to feel the way you do..as a great statesman once said "I disagree with what you say but I'll defend to my death your right to say it.." That being said, it *really* troubles me that you live in America yet flaunt a picture of our flag flying so disgracefully upside down like that! Yes America has problems but we have GREAT things and opportunities and people in our country! We have the FREEDOM to take part in our government if we disagree with part of it.. We have so many freedoms that other people in so many other countries only DREAM of.. Right now in China thousands of families are becoming homeless as their government cares more about putting on the Olympics instead of caring about THEM..they are bulldozing houses..Not only that but remember Tianemin Square? That is going on again! In this country you are never thrown in the equivalent of a concentration camp just because you might say in public "I hate President Bush".. or even in private! In China, the Chinese people constantly have to worry that ANYTHING they say to anyone - even family and friends will be reported..and they'll be arrested and thrown in concentration camps!! How do I know this? I had a friend from Harbin China come over to our USA just to learn English and some of the American culture just so she could better the lives of her family and her parents! She was away from her son,her husband and her parents for 4 YEARS while she sacrificed..and took advantage of so many of our freedoms that so many ungrateful Americans such as yourself disdain, even loathe and definitely take for granted! Unlike you, I AM DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN and WILL BE UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!! Our military and their families sacrifice EVERY DAY in SO MANY WAYS just so you can go about disrespecting the VERY country you continue to live in even though you obviously hate it so much! My Fiance is active duty Navy 19 years and has been to Baghdad,Qatar and many other areas of the world along with countless other Navy heroes & serve PROUDLY with their brothers and sisters in ALL military branches to keep the USA the democracy it is! It strikes me as VERY FUNNY and CONVENIENT I might add that people such as yourself continue to LIVE in and take advantage of our country, our democracy, our opportunities, malls, grocery stores, movie theaters, going to foot ball games, taking your kids to sporting events or activities such as Cub Scouts or Karate, our free public education system just to mention a FEW of the many thousands of things us Americans have to be grateful for...YET you SPIT VENOM against the VERY COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN AND DETEST! Why don't you put your actions where your heart is and since you're not truly American in your heart MOVE to another country where trust me...the Socialist,Communist,and other ways will NOT be better NOR will they have near as many freedoms as we do here! I may respect your right to feel the way you feel but I detest you for being a spineless coward who doesn't have the courage of your convictions! A lot of hot air! If you REALLY hate America so much as to fly Old Glory upside down and disrespect our fallen Heroes who have fought and died for our country to remain free..as well as those who are fighting NOW and will continue to fight for the preservation of the USA - then you'd PUT UP OR SHUT UP instead of taking the easy way out! By the way ...WHEN was the last time YOU VOTED? I voted this year in the Florida Primary! Good Day! A DAMN PROUD AMERICAN & PROUD FIANCE OF AN ACTIVE DUTY NAVY HERO GOD BLESS THE USA & OUR MILITARY!!!!!! Kimberly
