Land of the Free, Home of the Brave?

Land of the free, home of the brave, really? I think not. How many americans are willing to save for their own retirement? How many americans are willing to plan and acquire their own healthcare in the free market? How many americans are willing to provide their own food or give to those who need it, without government intrusion?

How many americans are ready to say no more government assistance for any individual needs? How many americans are ready to say no more too big to fail, no more Fannie and Freddie?

How many americans sit back and watch our youth go to the battle field and give their lives for freedom while you cannot even say no to even one of the above mentioned?

How many of you so called americans have your head in the sand while our government buries our future generations in debt and deminishes their freedoms to maintain your status quo?

Guess what america, your call to freedom has been sounded, and you have failed miserably to respond appropriately. They claimed that without bailouts the country would dive into depression, they say that without stimulus we will never recover, they say that we have to have more government control over healthcare and the economy to provide stability, oh really?

Freedom is not free, it costs blood, it costs wealth and it cost as much separation from government as possible. Freedom is a right from God, it is a treasure to pass to future generations, but it has to be fought for and maintained through personal responsibility.

Thomas Jefferson:
Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (adminstrators) too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery.


Thomas Jefferson;
A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement.

Benjamin Franklin quotes:
Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.

Benjamin Franklin quotes:
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Thomas Paine quotes:
These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated

Thomas Paine quotes:
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

George Washington quotes:
It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn.
