Utopian Bandwagon

By Tammy Derouin

Don't bite the hand that feeds you and don't look a gift horse in the mouth. These are humorous was of making two very good points. However, when it comes to our freedoms, and the lack of basic knowledge about American history along with the lack of understanding that with freedom comes responsibility, my sense of humor goes right out the window.

As an American citizen, your God-given rights are acknowledged in the Bill of Rights and they are protected by the U.S. Constitution. Our freedom was secured by the bloodshed and sacrifices of those who came before us. Because of the continuing sacrifices of the American people to preserve and protect our freedoms, we have the right to believe and live as we desire, as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others. When it becomes acceptable to trample on the rights of others, those who do not agree with a popular point of view, theory or agenda, everyone's rights become endangered.

If you understand that freedom isn't free, that it isn't something that can be taken for granted or passed on to the next generation without vigilance and sacrifices, you understand why you respect the symbols of our freedom and honor that which keeps you free. The United States is not perfect. A perfect land does not exist in this world. The U.S. Constitution states, “We the people.” It is important to remember that it is the people of our nation who are supposed to be in control of the government, not the government in control of the people. If more people understood that, they wouldn't be so willing to hand over their freedom for false security and false rights.......
