Most Americans pay lip service to the idea of freedom, but can't handle real freedom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of people out there pay good lip service to the idea of personal freedom... right up to the point that someone tries to do something that they don't personally approve of.
The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.
Freedom isn't to do what you want at somebody else's expense.
Many Americans don't have an understanding of the freedoms they regularly enjoy.
Freedom is not of use to those who do not know how to employ it.
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
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.
We must be willing to pay a price for freedom.
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.
We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.
