We... are not really free if we can't control our own government and its policies. And we will never do that if we remain ignorant.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even though we know freedom as an idea we're not really as free as we think we are.
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.
From now back to the past, we can observe clearly that none of us is free.
We are free today because we are the stronger; we will be slaves again when the government becomes the stronger.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.
People cannot be free unless they are willing to sacrifice some of their interests to guarantee the freedom of others. The price of democracy is the ongoing pursuit of the common good by all of the people.
We live in America. We live in a free society where we are able to make choices. It's about giving individuals freedoms and holding them accountable.
No country is free unless it is democratic.
