Freedom isn't Free when you fight for greed...
Written 7/14/09
I was raised to believe this Country was choice. The land of Freedom and the home of the brave, when history has shown otherwise. More people have been refused Freedom & Equality in this Country’s 233 years than anyone could imagine. Take for example the civil war, and the over 600,000 Americans who lost their lives to fight for or against slavery, this happened over 80 years after the declaration of independence was signed. Even after the great loss of life it took over a 100 more years for those same people to treat African Americans with respect and 233 years for the first African American to be elected president of the free world. What a sad misrepresentation the word free has been given, when we continue to allow our fellow citizens to be discriminated against and refuse to allow them that same equality you and I enjoy every day; Which has been granted to us by the souls of many people who fought for a better future. Those same souls protected our freedom of speech, religion, choice and even the right to bear arms, and what have we done? but gone and shot our self’s in the foot and limped along ever since as we slowly, metaphorically bleed to death from our own gunshot wound.
