The Price of Freedom

I was reading an article on the atrocities taking place in Syria. How horrible that small children were pulled from the arms of their mothers - then raped, beaten with rifles, shot at point blank range, and in some cases burned alive.

And under the article some poster commented - “We don’t care about these people - they brought it on themselves.”

Absolutely unbelievable!

The Syrian people have been oppressed for over forty years under the al-Assad regime. Hafez al-Assad isolated his people from the rest of the world. His son, Bashar al-Assad, the current dictator, is responsible for the atrocities going on today.

When Bashar became President and his ability to rule was questioned - he thought he could win his people over by allowing the Internet and satellite TV into the country.

His plan backfired.

When the people of Syria educated themselves and began demanding civil rights and economic reform - the regime retaliated and the atrocities began.

It is heart-wrenching knowing so many Syrians are waking up every morning having to hear fighting in their streets and the screams of innocent men, women and children being tortured and brutally murdered.

These people just wanted to be treated fairly, to be regarded as citizens worthy of respect. So when I hear that some a$$hole says ‘Who cares’ it makes my blood boil.

Is he saying that they deserve to be tortured and brutally murdered for wanting freedom from oppression? Is he saying that it is okay for innocent children to be murdered because one day they will grow up demanding the same rights?

For those who feel the same way - I can tell you that they take their freedoms for granted. You know why? Because they did not fight for them; they did not shed one single drop of blood! Our forefathers did it for them!

So…Why don’t you get up from your computer - go find your big girl panties, put them on because you’re going to need them - then go get your passport and buy a one-way ticket to Damascus - and see what it’s like for people to have to fight for the freedoms you have in this country!

If you are lucky enough not to get caught in the crossfire - please don't make plans to come back here. We still don't want you here - because you weren't humane enough to care in the first place.

Matthew 25:41-46

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’

Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
