To those who receive this message - please do not watch the commercial below if you do not want to watch a touching commercial of sorts from an American soldier who has spent his time in the Iraqi war for freedom.I'm tired of my patriotism being questioned because I disagree with someone on the war. I'm tired of being denigrated because I believe that helping poor people and children is worth a few extra dollars in taxes every year—as opposed to ignoring them to death. I'm tired of being judged by the very people who claim to worship Christ and yet seem to conveniently cherry pick those teachings they choose to follow. I don't do these things to you and I expect no less at your hands.
And please don't reply about it unless you liked viewing it. Over 600,000 have viewed this commercial, and I send it to you out of respect for you, your values, and your American citizenship.
If you want to engage in a dialogue, by all means e-mail me. But if all you want to do is lecture to me or insult me, delete me from your address book.
