We should not forget, no matter how we quantify it: 'Freedom is not free.' It is a painful lesson, but one from which we have learned in the past and one we should never forget.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even though we know freedom as an idea we're not really as free as we think we are.
History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they've answered the call in bravery and sacrifice.
Day after day we must remember we can take freedom for granted. Day after day we must keep the bond between freedom and other values in mind.
There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.
I wish we would all remember that being American is not just about the freedom we have; it is about those who gave it to us.
I do believe that freedom isn't free - but today the corporate and political right wing is trying to cheapen this truly American value. They've been cynically using the word 'freedom' to rally the American public against its own best interests.
Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be.
Freedom is not a gift nor does it simply exist for us to have, but rather it is a sacred duty, and its blessed yield of hope is born from none other than the blood of the innocent.
Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them.
