Why do they subject other countries to military occupation, and maintain army bases in over 160 countries? What is 'free' and 'democratic' about one country acting as the police of the world, with secret prisons? And why does the government do everything in its power to maintain the status quo domestically, when they could seriously improve the standard of living? In free countries, there is no prejudice, there is no ignorance, there is no conditioning, manipulation, fearmongering...there is healthcare for all...there is not 1/6 of the pop'ln on the poverty line...there are jobs...there is tolerance of religions...there are opporutnies to go to school and not have to pay a debt the rest of your life....
Essentially, how many people believe that American 'freedom' is just a facade?

Some of the things you say make sense, but others do not. Freedom means that nobody will interfere with you without your permission. It doesn't mean that anyone will protect you, or give you free stuff, or offer you opportunities.
Freedom means the government won't arrest you for doing whatever does not harm the freedom of others. But freedom does not mean that anybody's going to give you free medical care or a free education.
As much as I disagree with Ayn Rand about some things, she was right on one thing in particular. Your life was a gift; its maintenance is not. You are not "owed" anything by anyone else just because you exist and are, for the time being, alive. Nobody else has even so much obligation toward you that they must charitably spit on you if you were on fire.
Because, really, nothing is free. Your parents (in particular, your mum) paid so that you could have life. Every bit of food produced on a farm requires some labor by a farmer. That farmer owes you nothing. If the government takes some food from the farmer and gives it to you, then the government has committed theft, and you have received stolen property.
It is likewise for education or for medicine. The professor and the doctor don't work for free. If they were required to work for free, it would mean they were slaves, denied freedom. If the professor and the doctor are paid, but the money is taxed from other people so that YOU can sit in a classroom or rest in a hospital bed, then whoever it is that must do the paying is a slave, denied freedom.
There are worse things than slavery, and it is true that life is a prerequisite for freedom to have any value. (That is, freedom has no value to the dead.) And there may be some goal so worthwhile that freedom should be sacrificed to achieve it. However, for a goal to have value, it must be realistically attainable, and not contrary to the laws of nature or otherwise impossible.
The US government talks much about freedom, but it is fooling no one. Even in the USA, democracy is a sham, and elections are controlled by Zionists through smear tactics, dirty campaign financing, and media information management. Outside the USA, the US government makes only token theatrical gestures, and the acting is so bad that no one is deceived. The US government is an imperial government, trying to run a planet when it's proper jurisdiction is only a single country, and because of its overextension it is in the early stages of failure.

Yep, you are right. My dad was in the army and this made me grow up in Germany. I know how free healthcare is. If I have an accident and break both legs, no matter if Ican pay or not I get it fixed. I still get paid and can take care of my bills and not loose my house or car or anything else. Freedom is a empty word in the USA. It had meaning but not anymore. When I read some of these answers here you got I have to say they need to come to live in the real world. They are so far away from the truth it could not be any further. They choose lo live below the poverty line, get real. Who are we to tell the world what they can and can not do? It is their country and their decision. And for the one that said we have never started a war except Vietnam, how about Irak? Did they start it? Ignorant people are what makes the rest of the world bound by policing them and takes away their freedom !!! Thanks for this post and telling the truth !!!!

First off we police those countries because of the human rights violations, your point being we should of let Hitler alone. And for the simple reason to improve them so all of the occupants don't sneak in here! What planet is this utopia located? Freedom is what the human being strives for that is why Communism fell in The old Soviet Union. Go try living in the Amish community and learn something about a commune That is a religion that is isolated. and in this country. And look up the meaning of A democratic Goverment you might be surprised!

Wrong. Sorry. We are free. The people in the other countries that we are at war with are killing their people. That is not freedom. Healthcare for all means that the government RUNS the medical care. The government cannot even maintain the programs they have now. Why in the WORLD would I give them free reign to say if I can have my knee replaced or not. If I were in England where they have free healtcare I would NOT be having my knee replaced because my apin is only minor and not extermely necessary. They have massive wait lines in England for the so called free healthcare for all. Free healthcare is not freedom. The 1/6 that are on the poverty line chose to be there. There are massive programs for welfare recipients to get a education and a good paying job. They don't want to! WE have the lowest unemplyoment rate in the history of the US practically. How many more jobs do you want?? There are definatally opportunities to go to school and not pay debt for the rest of your life. Its called working a secon job and paying cash. That is what I am doing while raising a child and taking care of sick parents. People in this country have no IDEA how spoiled and blessed they are. They are so luckey and they take advantage of their luck and spit on it and throw it in the dirt. Shame on Americans who complain. DO SOMETHING and stop whining about it.

We are in ALL countries except Iraq , Afghanistan & S. Korea because of war. The other countries ask us there to help with their defense.We pay dearly for bases in their countries. They LOVE our money.I am not poor but I am not rich. Any one who really wants to improve their life in this country can do so with education & hard work. I am 62 & started my first real job at age 12 working in hay fields for $1 a hr. I have had a job ever since. I have a cousin with 8 children who have all gone to college with no goverment help. They all worked during the summer & during school. They all have wonderful carrers One is a lawyer, another is a doctor. The youngest is the exective secretary for the Sec, of Transportation for the state.Everyone in this country can worship anyway they wish. If any really "free country" exist please tell me where it is because I would like to live there.

I believe that we have Freedom. To not be free in the USA is like saying you can't write your stupid question on Yahoo asking why Americans don't believe in Freedom....
I am an American and I believe in Freedom. So speak for yourself and not me!
I am with "MAN OF HONOR"s answers!
You ask why a lot of people are on the poverty line? Because a lot of people are freakin lazy!
We are not the Police of the world, the allies come to us for help because we are a Power Country and the strongest of all the countries in the world because we believe in Freedom and ARE FREE!!!! Thanks to the men and women who fight for our freedoms every day!

If you think that you are not free in America then try to pull some of the BS that you get away with ( under protection of the US constitution ) in some other country - they would have your...........on a plate in my humble opinion.
