Stand Up
for America Rally Speech By:
Beth Chapman
I'm here tonight because men
and women of the United
States military have given
their lives for my freedom.
I am not here tonight
because Sheryl Crowe, Rosie
O'Donnell, Martin Sheen,
George Clooney, Jane Fonda
or Phil Donahue, sacrificed
their lives for me.
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?
They are the same people who
are for animal rights but
against the rights of the
unborn. The movie stars say
they want to go to Iraq and
serve as "human shields"
for the Iraqis. I say let
them buy a one-way ticket
and go.
No one likes war. I hate
war! But the one thing I
hate more is the fact that
this country has been forced
into war-innocent people
have lost their lives - -
and there but for the grace
of God, it could have been
my brother, my husband, or
even worse my own son.
On December 7, 1941, there
are no records of movie
stars treading the blazing
waters of Pearl Harbor.
On September 11, 2001; there
are no photos of movie stars
standing as "human shields"
against the debris and
falling bodies ascending
from the World Trade
Center. There were only
policemen and firemen - -
underpaid civil servants
who gave their all with
nothing expected in return.
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.
We should give our military
honor and acknowledgement
and not let their
lives be in vain. If you
want to see true human
shields, walk through
Arlington Cemetery. There
lie human shields, heroes,
and the BRAVE Americans who
didn't get on television and
talk about being a human
shield - they were human
shields.
I thank God tonight for
freedom - - those who bought
and paid for it withtheir
lives in the past - - those
who will protect it in the
present and defend it in the
future.
America has remained silent
too long! God-fearing people
have remained silent too
long!
We must lift our voices
united in a humble prayer to
God for guidance and the
strength and courage to
sustain us throughout
whatever the future may
hold.
After the tragic events of
Sept. 11th, my then eleven
-year-old son said terrorism
is a war against them and us
and if you're not one of us,
then you're one of them.
So in closing tonight, let
us be of one accord, let us
stand proud, and let us be
the human shields of prayer,
encouragement and support
for the President, our
troops and their families
and our country.
May God bless America, the
land of the free, the home
of the brave and the
greatest country on the face
of this earth!

FA beats =FTS= at CTF |
|
|
|
| FA showed FTS a thing or two in this little match. Both teams played well, and FA was admittedly a little tripped up by the map choice of En Masse, which is not used very often. But FA came through with flying colors. See the screenshots. |
