Since when did disagreeing with the government suddenly make one “un-American”?

We woke up this morning and checked out CNN – and Janet noticed an article about a TSA (Transportation Safety Authority) baggage checker saw a “No War in Iraq” sign in a passenger’s bag and wrote a note stating that they “didn’t appreciate” the person’s un-American attitude.

It’s sad how people forget about the cornerstone of America – the Constitution – and the rights it provides… most specifically the freedom to assemble and the freedom of speech. In fact, the most American thing any individual can do is to question the government, come up with their own decisions and be vocal if they feel that their government is doing something that doesn’t represent their values or beliefs.

Call me crazy, but sometimes I think the problem with America is all of the so-called “Americans” who think the only way to be patriotic is to fall in line behind the President and follow him blindly like sheep without question or thought to whether his direction is legally or morally right.

Baaaa… Baaaa… Baaaa…
