Mr. Bost, thank you for your response of July 13 to my guest
box, “Lest We Forget”. Your argument sounds
rational but your history is scrambled, to say the least. This may play with the under 40 crowd that
has been educated by our failed educational system, but this old fart knows
better. Take the Civil War, I ask you,
who were the haters, Abraham Lincoln, those Americans who died at Gettysburg? My American history says that there are times
in the life of men, when it becomes crystal clear that freedom for all is worth
my dying. Abe stood up among his fellow Americans, calling
them and us to protect the freedom of all Americans, including those trapped in
slavery and racial hatred. It is a sorry
truth that we won’t see this truth in our modern progressive history textbooks. Can you handle the truth?
True freedom for all the people is worth the reality and
finality of death for the few who are called.
Jesus is probably the best example.
Regardless of whatever else men may say about him, at least, he died to
protest the inhumanity of men who rule over us, top down, for any reason,
religious or political or sometimes both.
