From the Word document:
"100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots."
Patriots with blood on their hands -- who got that blood on their hands while committing dishonorable acts -- yet have been honored since George Washington. Obviously he was a great patriot, the leader of the Continental Army, overwhelmingly selected as our first president, and a man who fought well during the French & Indian War -- AFAIK the first major white man's war on the new continent. One wonders how many native Americans, who were defending their home, he alone killed or ordered killed.
All throughout the prosecution of the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, Indian killers were honored. American patriots were honored for committing genocide.
Honorable Americans with blood on their hands include every single slaveholding signer of the Declaration of Independence -- just for starters.
Honorable Americans with blood on their hands include those who've committed atrocities during war, but who were awarded medals of valor for other acts.
I confess ignorance of whether Jane Fonda did or did not actually commit acts of treason. But if she committed treason, she will not be the first American patriot, male or female, nonetheless to be honored.
In this country, there is honor in speaking one's mind. And there are those who consider this to be honor only when what's said lines up with their own POV.
I do not support our wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, and I am terrified that President Bush will see nothing wrong with invading another country before his term is over. Who on God's earth is the United States of America to wage war on a country that has not declared war upon us?! And do we honestly believe -- does George W. Bush, a man who professes to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ -- believe that a loving God intends such actions?
I am a patriot who loves her country -- yet does my refusal to support immoral war make me a traitor? No. I am fully within my rights under the Constitution to speak out against what I believe is wrong.
Edit: This "A Celebration: 100 Years of Great Women" is seven years old.
