We stand for what is either right or wrong. In my world this is defined for me in my Bible. In practice there have been few who lived a clear cut line between right and wrong. Deep indeed is the friendship or love of a person or family who without hesitation or question will stand with you. Fortunate indeed is the person who has such friends and family.
Many people stand on their rights.
We frequently hear about those who stand on the right guaranteed them under the Fifth Amendment of our Constitution. These same people are frequently the same ones who work to destroy our Constitution and our way of life.
