The stunning answer to this question is yes, yes we are free. Just look at our society today, and tell me if we are not free. Free to bash our country, our President,free to ignore what our children are being taught in schools,free to kill unborn children. Free to watch lued and crude programs on TV full of vulgarity and trash free to become a basketball player, or a football player and make more money than the President of the United States. Free to lay on welfare, from generation, to generation, without shame or recrimination. Free to fall into debt, eat junk from morning till night, smoke , drink, take drugs, and then blame the system for all our troubles, or our parents, our President and our Country.
With our freedom we have managed to spiral downhill economically, morally, socially, and now we are all beginning to wonder in bewilderment, what is happening to our Country.
Our forefathers wrote our constitution to protect us, from the very thing we are doing to ourselves. John Adams wrote, this country can only be destroyed within, with individual moral decay. Now that is a damn sobering thought.
For 200 years we have been free, free to created slavery, and then free to abolish it. Free to create our own jobs, economy without any outside influence , and free to abandon to other countries. Free to be dependent on oil, or free to drill our own.
As I recall President Clinton could not join the Keoty treaty, because our constitution protects us even though he wanted to and tried to amend the constitution. He also passed laws that prohibits us to drill oil in our own backyard.Ever since the 90 and the Clinton era their has been a decline in morality in our young , a sense of entailment has swept our country causing massive amounts of debts, crime and destabilization of family. We found out he sold secrets to China and now they can blow a satellite out of the sky with great persition. He spent 7 years studding Russian government dodged the draft, and his second term he won his presidency on the minority of the popular vote.
This is the greatest country in the world, and those of us who understand this have an obligation to speak out and fight for decency. Get involved with the political system, scrutinize the morality of our representatives. Demand the resignation of teachers who spew nothing but hate for our country or better yet yank our kids out. Homeschooling has become a big movement in this country. The schools loose enough
