[The Urban Sombrero]

The point, for those who are blinded by liberalism, may be found in the fist line of the 3rd stanza of the song---
"O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,"

Try working that sentiment into the chaos of those interested only in what they want government to hand them.


I sincerely doubt that.

I would suggest that young black men and women beaten and fire hosed and dog bit, drug out of diners, egged, cursed, hung, shot, and white folks who walked in that movement were protesting, in King's words, to collect on a "promisory note" written by this country's Founders that had come back marked, from the moment this nation began, "insufficient funds." You know, TRT, when ol' Mr. Greenwood belts out "I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free," I, too, am thankful for the many essential liberties enjoyed, though folk in other nations have them also. However, I do not see that love of country requires me to believe that those born in the United States were and are somehow immune to all the muck and mire that human flesh is heir to. Ours is a speckled history, just like every nation of men. Now, our Constitution, taken at highest common denominator, where "all" means "ALL," is quite majestic. But, alas, "all" never means "ALL" without courageous protest, fearless activism, and constant vigilence. Surely, Scripture and history reveal enough of "are ye not yet carnal" to keep us humble.
