Freedom is one of those incredibly valuable things that you don’t appreciate until you lose it. That’s why we have to continually tak about it to others and to young people. The whole world is not a freedom fantasy land. Men can be evil when given the power to do so. History shows us lots of examples.
Our country was founded by men who tried to prevent this from happening here. They wrote it up the best they could, and they and others since have warned us of the dangers creeping in. And, they were right. They are creeping in.
In the US, we have the freedom to do what we want. This is an amazing freedom. In exercising it, we find if we don’t contribute to others, we won’t get many rewards (money) and limit our options to do things that cost money. So many of us work hard and smart making a contribution to others they will pay for, and other people decide they don’t want to do that.
That’s freedom. Freedom does not produce equal outcomes for all. But the alternative (socialism, in all its forms) produces equally shared misery.
Freedom to do with our lives what we want. Wow. That’s awesome.
SO well said Larry, thanks for posting.
I kiss the ground I walk on! And I am an immigrant living a life way beyond my wildest dreams.
Thank you America and I am deeply grateful for thee.
Thank you for posting Larry. I’m with you on that!
Truer words have never been spoken. The unbelievable idiocy and indoctrination of our nation is downright scary. The desire for politicians to hold onto their power by promising and saying anything is corrupting, Has corrupted this great nation.
I too am grateful for Freedom! We shouldn’t take it for granted
Very well said!
The “civil war” has started in South Africa, about 2 weeks ago, under the destruction of the socialism that came with the ANC party about 27 years ago. So, yes Larry, you are 100% correct: enjoy your freedom in your wonderful Country.
Amen!
Freedom is priceless…just ask someone that doesn’t have it! Thanks Larry for the reminder of how blessed we are!
God Bless America. I could not agree more. The flag flies at my house every day – This has somehow become a signal that I am a republican, how wild is that?
10000000000000%
So true and everyone needs to wake up.
Thanks for reminding us all to be thankful for the freedom we enjoy. We can’t let it slip away.

The United States was also founded with / for a greater, inherent collective.
