Freedom Is Not Passive

Please do not try to mislead or drug the people with morphine injections meant to take away the pain or the anger and in the process creating a generation of passive do nothings cowering in fear and wallowing in their mediocracy like lost sheep in need of a shepherd.
This form of blasphemy must cease because you need to believe that it's no accident that we are the land of the free.
Many have fought for this freedom we yearn to possess and many gave their lives in pursuit of freedoms caress.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that freedom is free for freedom is not passive it requires the action's of you and me.
If not we will discover that what we possess is not freedom at all.
It was only the freedom won by those before us and now it is our turn to respond to freedom's call.

Freedom....

What a word that means so much to America.

We have fought for freedom since the revolutionary war, and we will fight this battle and win too.

Freedom is not free, but people like me give Americans the security that we will fight, and die for those freedoms and to protect thier God given right to Freedom
