Recently, we have seen in the news about Sarah Sanders, President Trump’s spokesperson, being refused service in a restaurant because of who she works for, and Rep. King from New Jersey speaking out how people of the Islamic faith should not be allowed to work in pork meat processing plants. And now Rep. Walters from California calling for more protest and actions against Trump administration officials.
Whatever happened to the expression that used to be heard in this country: “I may not believe in what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it”? That expression in my opinion truly reflects what it means to have the freedoms granted to us in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Are we so fragile in our beliefs that we must always strike out at our fellow countrymen and women who do not form a mirror image of ourselves?
