The Lost of Freedom

We have this great country because people have decided, over the course of a couple hundred years, that freedom is more important than their personal safety. Many gave their lives. Revolutionaries, soldiers, civil rights activists.

We have lost track of this great principle: that freedom is worth sacrifice. Without this principle, we are all victims of the terrorists, every day. Because they rule us through fear, we have spit upon the graves of the great citizens of the United States of America who gave their lives so that we could have this great country.
