This image speaks very adequately on the way that our country actually runs. We're as the GREAT country of Freedom, Liberty and JUSTICE for ALL... EXCEPT... Muslims, gays, immigrants, african americans, native americans, and women. There's probably a few other minority groups to add to the list, but you get the idea. There seems to always be exceptions to our countries so called morales and constitutional rights. Since the writing of the Star Spangled Banner in 1814 our country has seen dis-liberties and un-justices committed against its peoples over and over and over. Whether it be the time of suffrage, and the need of voting rights for women, and equal pay in the workforce. Or in the form of racism and segregation of african americans in the south. More presently the equal rights of those of the LGBT community to marry. Or the right to religious freedom and the growing muslim population of this country. Freedom to the people! except, Except, ExCepT... EXCEPT FOR. NO! We need to work harder to put a permanent stop on these outdated, bigoted, unjust exceptions.
