"Stand Up for America Speech"

By Beth Chapman, Alabama State Auditor, Feb. 2003.

Paul has sent me this speech by Beth Chapman at a Stand Up for America Rally in Pelham AL:

I’m here tonight because men and women of the United States military have given their lives for my freedom. I am not here tonight because Sheryl Crowe, Rosie O’Donnell, Jane Fonda, Martin Sheen, the Dixie Chicks, Barbra Streisand, the Beastie Boys, George Clooney or Phil Donahue, sacrificed their lives for me.

If my memory serves me correctly, it was not movie stars or musicians, but the United States Military who fought on the shores of Iwo Jima the jungles of Vietnam, and the beaches of Normandy.

Tonight, I say we should support the President of the United States and the U.S. military and tell the liberal, tree-hugging, hippy, Birkenstock wearing, tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and music and whine somewhere else....

See Global praise - Chapman's speech touches 'soldiers, mothers, wives, sisters, fathers'.
