We are, in many respects, in a moral and spiritual free-fall in our country, and we are paying a terrible price.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are not our own. We do not belong to ourselves. But we have been purchased with a dear price. We have cost an immense sum, even the sufferings and death of the Son of God.
It is incumbent upon us to understand our greatness and believe in it so that we do not cheapen and profane ourselves.
We are free, but not to be evil, not to be indifferent to human suffering, not to profit from the people, from the work created and sustained through their spirit of political association, while refusing to contribute to the political state that we profit from.
We pay a price when we deprive children of the exposure to the values, principles, and education they need to make them good citizens.
This country pays a price whenever our economy fails to deliver rising living standards to our citizens - which is exactly what has been the case for years now. We pay a price when our political system cannot come together and agree on the difficult but necessary steps to rein in entitlement spending or reform our tax system.
Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.
There is a gulf between the high value Americans put on life in theory and its cheapness in practice.
We must be willing to pay a price for freedom.
What we pay for with our lives never costs too much.
We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.
