41. I was watching the movie Brave Heart then other day...."Freedom"
Edited on Wed Apr-29-09 11:07 AM by GetTheRightVote
One word really does say it all "Freedom". This nation was built upon it, "Freedom".
Even within the the boundaries of the general welfare it raises above it, "Freedom".
So it must raise above even the most evil acts of human beings, "Freedom" or it truly means nothing.

And so I raise it up in this chat once more "Freedom" against all that would re-frame it for us, we the people. This word means more then any other be it Nazi, Holocaust, or even our own 911 or it means nothing, "Freedom". The Jews are not the only group of people to have faced a Holocaust either for every day in the news there are more and more reports on present day examples of it where "Freedom" has been lost to a nation's civilians. Their "Freedoms" were taken from them up to the point of life lost.

So like it or not, if the only harm Gerd Honsik has done is to speak words then he should be able to speak them in the name of all "Freedoms" or it truly does mean nothing. You can not as a nation have it both ways. I will cry in the name of and push against all evil actions but I will not give up my right to be FREE to read, to write, to demonstrate, etc or they have taken more then our lives, they have taken our principles our values from us. That which makes us who we are as a people and as a nation. To keep them we must then extend them to all that would use even against us even though we hate the speaker or writer. They must be sacred for all.

Some of the people of Germany gave up their 'rights of freedom' for Hitler and his SS party so without them true evil rose around and among them. It was with the lose of "Freedom" that Hitler was able to push his agenda not by holding it as a most valued principle. Just think about it without emotions of revenge, etc. and it must be recognized in its importance so much so that our fore fathers fought and dead for it, "Freedom".
