Securing freedom has been a singular commitment of American presidents and patriots in and out of government for generations. But its perpetual continuation is not guaranteed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The precondition to freedom is security.
A people cannot long retain their freedom, whose government is incapable of protecting them.
We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure.
Freedom is something that dies unless it's used.
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
I strongly believe that we as a nation can be both secure and free.
Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom.
Freedom cannot be given... It can only be taken away.
I am confident that if we stand for the hope and freedom of others we will make our own freedom more secure.
We know there is no such thing as freedom without the risk of failure.
