And we know that once we have a majority that are dependent upon the government, we will lose our freedom; it says we go into bondage. That's the next stage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The government continues to erode our freedom.
Every time the government grows we lose more of who we are.
We know there is no such thing as freedom without the risk of failure.
Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.
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.
Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.
If we continue to allow the federal government to live beyond its means, we will all soon have to live beneath ours.
The American government will be whatever we all make of it.
We know from our own history that democratic institutions take decades to mature, and we know from past conflicts that freedom is not free.
I am confident that if we stand for the hope and freedom of others we will make our own freedom more secure.
