A friend, who is fighting in Afghanistan, posted a status update on Facebook that makes me wonder what America he is fighting for!
My friend... who we will call Tom ... is a good ol' All-American boy. He is fighting for his country while his wife, children, parents and friends are struggling back home.
It is said that they are over there to protect our freedoms here. Yet, my friend posts a Facebook status that makes me wonder if this soldier feels some American freedoms are more important than others.
Here is his status update:
Keep it up America, right now Im surrounded by what you are destined to become. You want pictures? Better wake up, stand up, and step up. Do any of you remember the attack on the very spot that they plan the new Mosque? The screams of pain and anguish as the death toll rose? Go ahead, sit still, do nothing, enjoy what you have while you still have it.....
Then you see the replies to Tom's post:

Damn brother! You just read my mind and screamed it out loud! People just dont get it do they? Guess they better learn to speak Pashto and Dari huh? I just dont get it, how the f*ck can anyone living in this country support such a slap in the face to the survivors and families of 9/11? The person who came up with that idea should be forced to go to Afghan and do what we do... MuthaF*cker!!

wow... how many times do these terrorists seek refuge in their "holy places" after attacking an American soldier? What would happen if we tried to build a christian church on the former grounds of a mosque? It's a damn shame some errant rockets couldn't find their way into a mosque or two, then let them call us insensitive. ...andd why the hell is the President endorsing this! Where are all the bleeding hearts crying "separation of church and state"? If those laws are good enough to keep Jesus outta our schools, they outta be good enough to keep Muhammed outta the White House!!! well, i didn't realize exactly what u were talking about... but i looked it up! Talking about insensitive! I hope New Yorkers are happy with their Senator Hillary too!!! The best thing that could happen is rezoning of the areas....or Donald Trump buy the property.
Yes... Bobby is a freakin' idiot! And I don't know him or Michael! Unreal!
I guess that is Arkansas for you!
Somebody help me here. What exactly does Tom think is going to happen? It's an unbelievable notion. How is what is happening in Afghanistan... DESTINED to happen here?
They say they are there fighting for our freedoms, such as a freedom of religion. Does he not realize that Islam is a practiced religion in this country? Yeah!! Muslims are Americans! WOW...
There is just so much that ignorance just doesn't understand!
