Freedom is free. Get over yourselves. Its like saying water isn't wet. Of course it is. Freedom is an expression of a state of being which comes FREELY.
Only our Creator can give us freedom. The only freedom we have is the freedom of will. We can live our lives as we choose and we can recognize our Creator or not.
Most of us choose not to recognize our Creator and therefore will live miserable lives. We do not know who we are.
The soldiers kill others for the benefit of the elite who run the government. There is nothing noble about it. They also do not defend us or our Country. We are under threat from Inside our Nation and Government - not from outside.
Most of the soldiers know nothing of the U. S. Constitution or the illegal government which rules over us today in the 21st Century.
Yeah, 2:53. Everything was apple-pies and happiness until Obama came along.
Please let me know what history books you use so I make sure not to let my kids anywhere near them.
Liberals do not make your life bad. Republicans do not make your life good. You are in control of that yourself. If you don't like where you are, blame yourself.
How about the freedom to choose if we want health care. He has also taken away many peoples right to pursue life, liberty and happiness. He's giving our money away to the bankers, the auto industry, fake global warning scams, not to mention all the money he spends on vacations and golf!. How about our right to seek justice in our courts? Remember the blank panthers? I could go on but why bother you will just respond with some snide liberal gibberish.
1:23, so I am wrong in saying the individuals determine whether they are happy and their life is good? Am I supposed to believe that the government (or rather, the dirty Liberals) wake up every morning and determine whether you are going to be happy or not?
7:22 Their actions can determine whether someone can be happy or not. When so many people are having such a hard time paying their bills and the government doesn't seem to care about their own citizens and will bend over backwards for NON citizens people tend to NOT be happy. How can I be happy that my fellow American are having such a hard time and I see illegals taking benefits that should be going to help them.
I don't know who your "creator" is, but I call mine God. You may want to look him up sometime. As far as the "freedom is free" part, try telling that to the soldiers that now have permanent disabilities because they decided to stand up and protect their country. I happen to be one of the disabled veterans. Not to mention the families of the soldiers who paid the ultimate price. Because of the freedoms allowed by this country, you have the right to post a comment on Joe's blog, but your comments are nothing but more than an ignorant and immature rant that was just a waste of Joe's blog space. But don't worry, I will ask my Creator to forgive you. God Bless those who have served this great nation!
7:41 - As a Liberal, I never knew I had such superhuman powers and control over the minds, bodies, and well-beings of those around me. Maybe Obama is a superhero.
At the end of the day, regardless of economic situation or personal place in life, you are in control of whether you are happy or not. You determine the parameters that you measure happiness. I did not like George Bush and did not vote for him or his dad, but when they were president, they did not determine my happiness or success. That responsiblity fell on me. Any success or happiness I have now, or struggles and frustrations, are not the fault of Obama or any elected representative on this planet.
Blaming others for your lack of happiness removes responsiblity from you. If it is wrong for "Libs" to depend on the government for their well-being, why is it OK for others to blame the government for thier misery?
Dan, that's because they need someone to blame at all times. As much as I would hate it, I would be curious to see all Republican government just to see whom they would blame.
liberals talking about responsibility? That was a joke right? You allow people to murder babies is that responsible? How about murderers? You don't want them put to death and be responsible for their actions. How about the people that are here illegally that you don't want deported? Is that responsible? You spout off a lot of useless garbage yet you never answer any questions. Typical liberal that likes to hear their self talk. I not wasting anymore time with you. Alex I put blame where it's due. If you don't like that TOUGH cookies. There is not a thing you can do to change me.
Alex --- how about the freedom to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures?? Have you READ the Patriot Act?? Pretty much DECIMATES the Bll of Rights. Know what emminent domain is? Have you read any news reports lately? I'm referring to the confiscation of property and valuables by the police without trial or conviction. In hundreds of thousands (thats right- HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS) of cases across the country, property and money have been taken from defendants (confiscated) and the defendants have been RELEASED without trial or conviction. Have you read about any of the reporters who have been jailed (indefinitely!) because they refused to reveal their sources to the government (in non-National Security cases!). Freedom is NOT free. Ask any of the citizen soldiers who froze to death at Valley Forge. Or ask any of the slaves who died in the Civil War. Or maybe the millions who died fighting Hitler and Stalin. Or maybe travel, if they LET you, to one of the countries, perhaps Iran, China, or North Korea and start speaking your mind, or publishing some critical article. then tell us how freedom is so easy and free. Your viewpoint and uninformed opinion is utterly disgusting. I can see you've grown up in a world where everything has been given to you without you having a clue about how we got here. Learn some history....AND current events....
lmclain: when you stop hyperventilating, I have a question:
Who wrote the Patriot Act? Who had the idea for eminient domain?
It is funny how you trip over yourself to let us all know how great freedom of speech and expression is, but then chastize anyone who uses it to express things differently from you.
Dan...you poor thing...as a self professed liberal, you should be alarmed over what the Patriot Act says and does. I know perfectly well it was written in Bush's term. And I was merely pointing out Alex's erroneous and uninformed point that no freedoms have been "taken away" or "lost". I also didn't realize that chastizing someone for their viewpoint was, in any way, RESTRICTING their right to expression or free speech. but freedom of speech/ expression does NOT mean that whatever you say is blindly accepted or is to be unquestioned. As you have clearly pointed out. Education, my brother. And further, did I lie in my statements? If so, point the errors out.
Thanks Joe. I think alot of people forget what the day is all about. In memory, of my uncles who died in WWII.
ReplyDeleteFreedom is never free! And our freedoms are slowly slipping away with the current administration. Wake up, America! Lord, help us!

2:53 what freedoms were taken away from you? Certainly not your freedom to make dumb comments.
