“Freedom is always a generation away from extinction; don’t forget that.”

Well, in our case, it’s more like two. My 22 year old daughter (who proudly echoes her lib boyfriend’s politics) has no concept whatsoever about the origins of freedom and liberty. For her, and people of her generation, we targeted Pursuing Liberty.

Many native born Americans think that their personal freedoms just come automatically with being born. They have no idea of the value of the legacy that previous patriots fought, bled, and even died for in order to bestow it upon Americans they’d never even meet.

And I’m always surprised at how little people will sell their souls for. These are the people that desperately need to be reminded that citizen has RESPONSIBILITIES, as well as privileges.
