I think that although many Americans claim they love freedom in this country, they really do not. In fact, if they had their way, many people wouldn't be "free" to do many things they are allowed to do now. E.g. abortion on demand. I believe anti-abortionists would not allow abortions to happen and that, if they could, would actually force women who don't want to have babies, to have their baby. Another one is: because of 9-11 many people's patriotism comes into question. Some say if you do not like U.S. policies, or the president, or anything the gov't does, leave the country. This is patriotism, but a very ignorant form of nationalism, and if left unnoticed can grow to fascism.

We are only as free as the people lets us. We as Americans have the right to vote,but it seems that alot lately the federal gov. is trying to over ride the people. Alot of people is fed up with the federal goverment.We have the constitutional right to do that.If it wasn't for are constution the militas in United States would be consider terrorist,militas are to protect the people from the federal goverment from doing what they want to do. Are goverment seems broken to me. Freedom is the old United States not the new one.

FREEDOM IS.... Knowing I can drive to the grocery store and not worry about a car bomb blowing up my car (myself in it)
FREEDOM IS.... Knowing I can choose my own religion and not be killed for believing in what faith I choose!
FREEDOM IS.... Appreciating all we DO have opposed to the third world countries who have no food, shelter and flooded with diseases!
FREEDOM IS.... BEING AMERICAN
