Americans love freedom.  Our government and the industries that own it do not.

Putting the blame on the gov and companies doesn't always work...

Americans love freedom.  Our government and the industries that own it do not.

To a degree. I like freedom within reason. I think america has a good balance of freedom relative to security. It's not perfect and faces the same problems much of the world does as far as automation and cheap labor robbing us of living wage jobs.  There's a bit too much over-regulation on alcohol, tobacco, and drugs... blame both parties for that really... old fashioned religious nutjobs who think everything is a sin, and liberal nanny staters who want to protect everyone from themselves... also big corporate interests that would rather not have drugs decriminalized and have their expensive prescription drugs undermined... it's a pretty big hurdle to overcome when so many powerful interests want this regulation... we also have this thing where people are hypocritical on some of their viewpoints... for example they want to ban smoking everywhere but would have no problem decriminalizing  marijuana smoking in these same establishments... rather inconsistent if you ask me.

What do you mean by freedom? A lot of European nations have many of the same regulations as the US, cannot own guns, etc. Many of these nations also face budget and debt problems due to increases in the influx of illegal immigrants who don't pull their weight.

The conspiracy part of me would say the media is bought and run by the central bankers world wide. The Federal Reserve act was passed Dec 23, 1913.. just over 100 years ago. The country has been bought by the banks ever since... but is it really so bad? I'd rather live here then in one of the few remaining nations that does not have a 'central bank' or one of the many nations that does not embrace forms of economic capitalism.

I'm curious what activities people want to do that they feel they cannot do in America that they can do in another nation.... List some if you will and we'll see if our lifestyle preferences match up.

Because they never take responsibility for the blame.

We're all responsible to one extent or another.   But the one's who need to be held responsible are the one's that force others to partake in their responsibility.

Not all Americans are sheeple. The government of America was subverted and the war on freedom was declared.

Because their government has a monopoly over the educational system.  I'm sure you can draw valid conclusions from that as to what kind of people monopolized education produces: i.e., whatever the owner of the monopoly--the state--desires, and it does not desire you to be free, for this would threaten its existence.

You simply don't forget 12-14 years of propaganda in a heartbeat.

Pretty sure, Americans love freedom, or have I been misled?

I love freedom, love the Constitution. And I'm actually thankful when I am able to do Free things. I'm sure most Americans take it for granted.

It is true that the people at the top don't exactly represent us 100% and have been chipping away at our freedoms.

At the same time, some people at the bottom haven't been doing much about it. Maybe they will realize what freedom was when it's gone.

If voting could change anything for the better of all innocents (all election tampering was eliminated so the worst possible evil would no longer "win" every election that matters), then it would be a summary-executable offense.

I think any decent person should love freedom, but unfortunately people have different opinions on what people should and shouldn't be able to do, and a a lot of the time it shouldn’t be anybody else’s business as long as it doesn't enroach on anybody elses freedom or cause them harm. Governments don't like people to be truly free or do what they want as it'd cause them a lot of problems. The laws and fear they spread are how they keep their power.

[Westin Landon Cox]

A country full of people who elected FDR 4 times and Obama twice cannot claim to love freedom. Lots of Americans want to live in a Soviet style system. They think Americans will finally get collectivist authoritarianism right, and having good American lefties in charge to make all the decisions will make things "fair." They're disgusting.

I hope Texas will secede.

The Frankfurt School is generally considered to be part of the left, yes. In another sense, National Socialism and International Socialism really aren't that far apart, so the way many people use the terms "right" and "left" don't mean much.

My country has been destroied by communism...

We were poor, had nothing and could not study on schools if we or some of ours relatives were anticommunist activist...

Take a look at Czech Republic and Germany... or Austria...

They are way ahead of us in every way (economy, technology, science)...


And YES, I love my freedom... I visited many countries (UK, Canada etc.), which I would not visit If I had communist goverment...

I couldn't agree more with this. As an example, some people go around saying that the government is taking away their people's freedom by not allowing them to use some drugs. In my opinion, this is more of a safety precaution than preventing freedom. I don't care about what people do with themselves, but I do care about what the people who take them can do to others. I'm going to stop here because else, I will just send this discussion completely off-topic.

Freedom is only a perception. In reality it is not.

[pungopete468]

America loves freedom.

The majority of Americans have no voice; everything we say or do will fall on deaf ears. The MSM wouldn't cover a story about people speaking out against government oppression now would they?

The majority is being desensitized and corralled into feeling inept or disconnected from one other. It weakens us and removes the strength we feel as a community.

The truth is; Americans love freedom but you'll never hear it from the MSM. The people who speak out louder than others are labeled as political extremists and added to the terrorist watch list.

None of this would be possible if it weren't for the monopoly on money...

Rest assured; Americans are picking sides right now. I've never seen anything like this before in my life...

[Coldchurch]

If it wasn't for the americans I would still kiss german feet each morning. they love freedom so much they came all the way here to maintain it for us. problem they have now is that goldman sachs is running the show. And they don't care about any of us, just the dollar.

Americans love freedom... but only their own freedom... the rest of the world for them is a training ground for their weapons
