What are your Freedoms worth?

Question

I see a lot of bloggers spewing non-descript retorical questions. So here it is in a nut shell. Men and Women are dying for your rights to do just that, is it worth it?

Answer 1

I Thank the troupes for keeping my life safe. i would do the same for them if I could.

God bless all who has given up their lives for others.

Answer 2

I agree with C.S.L. We were more free before the war began. The Patriot Act and other Republican legislation are taking away our freedoms. If the Republicans had their way, there would be nothing left of the Constitution but the right to bear arms. They'd repeal the rest of the Bill of Rights if they could, but they don't have to because they're doing an end run around it with the Patriot Act, arresting people without evidence and holding them without a trial or formal charges.

There may have been more than one reason for going to war, but freedom never was one of those reasons, and all of the talk about freedom is nothing but political doubletalk of the very worst kind.

"Naturally, the common people don't want war...but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a parliament, or a fascist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country"

--Hermann Goering

Are you proud that our leaders are following in the footsteps of the Nazis?

Answer 3

How so? Not that I do not appreciate what our troops are doing, but it seems to me that they are just policing two foriegn ideologies that are hell bent on killing each other? Please explain to me how they are dying for my rights? My grandfather's generation died for my rights in WWII. That was a war worth fighting. Iraq is not. The Iraqis were not going to take our freedoms away. They did not destroy the WTC. They did have a psycho dictator who WE propped up until he wasn't useful anymore.

Answer 4

My freedoms are worth the life of anyone who tries to take them from me.

Answer 5

i believe that what the troops are doing is incredible to put their own lives at stake for ours i get so tired off people dissing the army saying their terrible when they are putting their lives up for you

Answer 6

well i dont think we realy are free its more of a police state were heading toward a dictatorship and the sheep are all lined up for this
