As new citizens to the United States of America sat before the home of Thomas Jefferson, Monticello in Charlottesville, Va., hecklers and protestors showed their BDS to our new citizens by disrupting a public event honoring our newest citizens to protest President Bush.
Every year on the Fourth of July, a Naturalization Ceremony is held at Monticello for new citizens who followed the legal path to American Citizenship. President Bush was invited to speak this year, welcoming America’s newest citizens.
As has come to be expected, leftists showed our new citizens the seamier side of citizenship by disrupting the ceremony in their honor, heckling the president repeatedly, waving banners and generally making asses out of themselves.
Swearing obscene language, calling the president a fascist and other interruptions actually showed much disrespect for the 76 new American Citizens listening to the president welcome them to citizenship.
President Bush was not there to promote a Republican candidate, to urge support for the War on Terror or to campaign for any cause. He was there welcoming people who left tyranny behind and worked their way towards legal American citizenship. I wouldn’t think it too far a stretch to imagine at least some of those new citizens disagree with the president, but deserve respect for their ceremony welcoming them officially to citizenship.
Of the hecklers, president Bush said, “To my fellow citizens to be, we believe in free speech in the United States of America,” but that did not stop Security from removing the protestors as they continued to disrupt the ceremonies.
The hatred of president Bush has reached such a feverish pitch that even Naturalization Ceremonies are to be disrupted, what can we expect next, someone to defecate on a burning American Flag in the street?
Is this how the left shows their love of America and Patriotism, disrupting ceremonies honoring new citizens?
