Freedom, Freedom

     Freedom is being free and independent.  Freedom is an exemption from an obligation or discomfort!  Freedom is being able to act freely.  Freedom is having the ease of movement.  This definition is right from the Webster's Dictionary!
     Reading these words makes a person decipher or conclude that Obama Care is Unconstitutional because it infringes on our Freedom from obligation!  We don't have the obligation to carry such a program or practice, to have it forced on us by our government or by anyone else for that matter!  We can walk, talk and make decisions on our own without the control or help of our government, state or federal.
     People in power and behind the scenes are making changes to our Freedoms every single day that nobody talks about in public.  It's all about control of the people.  It makes no difference what the reason for good or for bad, they have no right to force us to purchase or sign up!
     Freedom comes in so many different ways! It could mean as little as a 15min. break at work to a full-fledged Freedom from a Dictator!  That certainly is a big gap between those two situations!  But, let's think about it, what does Freedom mean to you?
     1.  It could be 1hr. by yourself away from the kids
     2.  Maybe lay in the sun on a beach away from the stress of work
     3.  Just a blooming day off
     4.  Freedom to say an opinion about your government
     5.  Ease of travel all over the country, from South to North, East to West without being
          stopped to have your papers checked     
     6.  Freedom to Worship what, when, where and how of your choice
     7.  To be able to stand on a street and carry a sign to voice your views
     8.  Freedom to do what you want basically anytime, any day depending if you have a
          job or not
     Doesn't it all come down to responsibility on how one treats the Gift of Freedom?  Do you cherish it or do you throw it away or do you just abuse it?  The big question:  Do you let others steal your Freedom away from you?!  We definitely take our Freedom for granted!  It was here when we were born so we expect it to remain and never seem to worry that one day in the near future it could possibly be gone!  The generation of people who never had to fight for Freedom don't seem to even grasp the concept at all!  Sometimes when I speak about this great nation I receive the deer in the headlight look, not a clue at all!  What's so scary is that those people won't even try to protect our Freedom at all!  They won't even see it coming before it's too late. 
     The people who volunteered after 9-11 to service our country to protect her and her people from harm completely understand what Freedom means!  The generation that went through the Great Depression also gets it!  All of the baby boomers understand hard work and the cost of Freedom and the big secret is they will fight to keep it!  Amen, how about giving me two Amens on that one!!!
     I'll close in saying don't ever think the men and women who wear a uniform be it police, fire or military will ever sit still while our beautiful Country goes down the tubes is in denial!!
