What do you feel is your country's greatest symbol of freedom?

Question

For me, I think it's Mount Rushmore. Showing the faces of some of our presidents. It's amazing how we can have a peaceful transition of power from one president to another. Presidents, chosen by the people. (Would like answers from all nations).

Answer 1

the greatest symbol of freedom is the fact that i can sit here and read these questions and give my opinion freely.

Answer 2

here's some truth for you, you are a slave to the corporation of america, you are a slave to your job, your government and they hold your children's removal from the home over your head if you don't cooperate. In the patriot act any threat to this government is a terrorist whether foriegn or domestic. so whenyou speak out that hitler is like bush you will be arrested or fired and cant feed your family. our greatest symbol of freedom was the destruction of the twin towers, time to wake up, watch the wizard of oz, get some courage, wisdom, reality and a brain and defend your freedoms, if not leave and let the corporate pigs and masons have this place. and don't ask why other countries think we the people are so stupid.

Answer 3

The Phoenix. Here in Ireland we were once a nation hundreds of years ago and we fought the domination of the British Empire for 800 years until in 1922 we kicked them out amazingly. The Phoenix(Phoenix Park in Dublin for example-largest public park in Europe) is a symbol of the burning of our people and nation in the centuries of dominion by the Empire only for it to rise from the ashes a more beautiful and powerful creature inspiring all the world. You see American, we once were an eagle too but the Empire burned it, it has taken us 800 years to rise again from the ashes of that bitter experience.

Answer 4

I guess I don't associate any of our monuments with freedom. I think the symbol of our freedom is that I can answer a question here and some feds won't come knocking at my door a few days later.

Or that I'm even able to view this site or practically any other out there.

Answer 5

I would go with the flag. The colors and parts represent historical and phiosophical aspects of the country. We pledge allegiance to the flag, and the republic for which it stands: NOT a king, NOT a government, but the country and the people which constitute it.

Answer 6

The all mighty dollar, of course. Only people in this country who are on firm financial footing feel that freedom everyone always speaks of. The rest are at the least still indentured servants.

Answer 7

The fact that the right is constantly making an *** out of itself in public over such basic things such as equality and morality before God and that the left and the public in general is quick to point it out...the "God hates fags" crowd and the right in general is pandered to by Republic bills that are sold as "Christianity" and "votes for freedom". This is evident in the recent debate over the War in Iraq and over the amendment to ban gay marriage. Since when is Jesus a God used to bash human beings for being sinners?

Answer 8

The Trade Center Site. It represents our ability to hold our heads high & bounce back from adversity & our courage in the face of danger. It is the epitome of freedom.
