The New Republic : one nation under God
Christopher Morris
VII
“In the Name of God, the Flag and Bush Almighty”. This is my America, my New Republic. If the Hijackers on September 11 accomplished anything, this is it… They have given us the divine Bush. A man who has said “you are either with us or against us.” A man who teaches our children that “they hate us because we love freedom.
“ This is my America.
Preview
An America with a Homeland Security, a Patriot Act. An America with Paranoia. An America with hatred and ignorance. An America that wraps itself in its president and its flag. This is my America. Now when I see the eagle of freedom, I see an eagle of fascism. Now when I see the American flag, I’m afraid. I’m afraid for my America. We have become an ugly Nation. A Nation that has wrapped its eyes so tightly in red, white and blue that it is blind. Blinded by Nationalism.
This is my America. And this is why they hate us, and it’s not because we love freedom. They hate us because we think like that.
