The Value of Freedom

 

The Greatest Gift is Freedom

 

What makes America great? Have you ever considered that question? Most Americans agree that our country is a wonderful place but rarely do they discuss why our country is so special. Now trying to explain why America is great is harder than it might seem because there are so many factors that make America the exceptional place that it is. But after much thought and reflection I believe I have pin pointed the very essence of American greatness. In a word freedom is what makes America so special and indeed the envy of the world. In this great country we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to bear arms, freedom of choice, freedom to own, buy, and sell property, we are a free people, free to make decisions based upon our own values, opinions, and beliefs. We are free.

Some might be tempted to suggest that it is our strong economy or our mighty military that make America great but the reality is that every facet of American life is what it is as a direct result of the marvelous freedoms we enjoy. Our economy is the center of world trade and commerce because of free market capitalism and the ingenuity of American entrepreneurs who are free to take risks and pursue the American dream. Our military is great because of the economic engine that supports it and enables it to produce and use the most sophisticated weaponry in the world and our free society and the liberty that it values produces the most dedicated and exceptional soldiers on earth. But whatever sector of American society we examine the reality becomes quite clear that each is what it is as a direct result of the benefits of freedom and liberty. We are truly a blessed people because we are a free people.

Even though we are experiencing a time of fear and uncertainty in this great country due to hardship and economic difficulty it is important for us to remember that we are still quite fortunate because we still have our freedom. Regardless of what happens economically or otherwise we must never lose sight of the fact that we possess the greatest gift of all, we are free. As Americans we have the opportunity to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have that opportunity because our founding fathers understood the great value of freedom and many brave men in our armed forces have laid down their lives for the sake of liberty in their service to this country. The men and women of our military value freedom and have the ultimate price and each of us should recognize that it is freedom that makes this country great.

       We are not that great but we are powerful. We are also wealthy but we are not that great. America is directly responsable for more pornographic filth being spread throughout the world, than any other country, spread through the internet we created in Virginia, but never regulated. This has facsilitated the spread of the worship of the false gods of perversion and materialism (atheism according to C.S. Lewis in "Mere Christianity) under the cloak of justice and freedom. America is not great. This is a false gospel of materialism [bill of goods] the world has bought hook, line and sinker.


       We are not great, we only seem great because we are wealthy. Everyone wants to be like us not because we are great, not because some of us are Christian but because we are rich and wealthy adorned with many sparkeling jewels. In God's eyes we are not great but arrogant. We are arrogant but not great. we are directly responsable for the spread of materialism throughout the world which is the worship of the false gods of gold, silver, bronze, wood and marble that do not breath or speak.


       We had a chance to spread the gospel throughout the middle east, Africa and Asia but we failed because we were more concerned with becoming wealthy and installing petty dictators here and there all over the world rather then being strong and taking the gospel to these countries. These false gods spead materialism leading to atheism.


       America is responsable for the spread of atheism and materialism more than any country in the world. America is responsable more then any other country for the spread of a materialistic culture of fast food, big cars, big houses and luxereous living absent of God, absent of any moral values. No, America is arrogant but certainly not great.


       America is responsable for the spread of homosexuality, pedophilism and hedonsim more then any other country in the world. America's Hollywood has become a darling of Satan that uses movies and film to promote any other religion except the true one of Christianity, used Hollywood to promote pornographic films throughout the world through our own homemade system the internet creating a whole industry of pedophile sex trade lavery in southeast asia in which westerners would select on the internet the place where they could go have sex with children. This whole industry was a result of the internet which America created in Virginia but didn't want to and still didn't want to regulate all the pornography because it would squash freedom of speech so called When the real reason is the larger browsers on the internet like Google  and Micosoft were making billions off of the pornography that took up half the bandwidth of the World Wide Web. Just my two cents.
