That they passed on to us the freedom OF religion, as opposed to freedom FROM religion. I love the land from sea to shining sea... the freedom to make of ourselves what we wish to be because the opportunities are everywhere. I love that Ronald Reagan grew up here, the son of a poor Irish man, who taught him to appreciate the pursuit of excellence. I love that Reagan inspired us then and still does today. I love that we can look up to men like this and to our next door neighbor if we choose, because our founding fathers knew all men are created equal... I love that we are free to choose our own heroes. I love that a group of people, the Tea Party Patriots have enough spunk to stand up to those who would be the ruling class, and tell them, you are not kings; you work for us! There is so much to love about this country and I am so glad people are waking up to realize we have to be VIGILANT in our FIGHT for our continued freedom. I love that many of us believe in the God of the Bible, who granted us our rights. <br /><br />And I love the rugged individualists who make this country work. The cowboys, the homeschoolers, the doctors and nurses, builders, rescue workers, people of morals and ethics who work hard, don't whine, help each other out, and make sacrifices to provide for their families. People who are generous of spirit. People who do difficult things, just because they can and for the joy doing your best brings. I love moms and dads who know their most important job EVER will be raising their children to appreciate the blessings they've been given as Americans and to gaurd our freedoms so that they can pass them down to their children and grandchildren.

Even though we've lost some freedoms over the years (permits/rules/regulations for so many things these days), we still have more individual freedom than many other countries. I am excited about the Tea Party movement and the fact that a group of loosely-knit individuals can and will make a difference.<br />I loved the passage; will have to get a copy of that book. I was born in 1945, so remember most of the things listed in the passage.<br />I also love your blogs and read them every day.Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-60330937044085360902010-05-31T21:44:27.067-04:002010-05-31T21:44:27.067-04:00Our States' Charters all say something to the ...Our States' Charters all say something to the effect that we're a nation under God Almighty, we're to tell about the Gospel of Christ...essentially, we're a CHRISTIAN nation!<br />There are those attempting to re-write history and they are WRONG!

It always leaves me emotional. The flag waves over my Dad's grave, a veteran of WW11.<br />It struck me that in our little town, there are so many flags that fly over the graves of these brave people.

I cannot even begin, to tell you how much, "I love this country" and yes, there are to many reasons to list. I do know, that we need to join together to save what we have left. It seems that there are many people who do not care that our President is not a U.S. citizen, that he is buring us alive. Our freedom may be a thing of the past, If we don't stand up for what we believe in. I say, there should be no such thing as free hand-outs. Those of them that can, should have to do some sort of community service for a welfare check, medical services, food stamps. I say, if you cannot afford your house, sell it to someone who can, "even if this means letting it go for a little less" as least you wouldn't walk away with nothing.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182682229829890445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-88710634637092929722010-05-30T22:02:53.734-04:002010-05-30T22:02:53.734-04:00I'm loving the fact that we still have the fre...I'm loving the fact that we still have the freedom to express our feelings on the internet and I fear that this freedom along with a lot of others are going to be taken away by a runaway government.Thoughtfully Blended Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102061005480054019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-13438303622303339012010-05-30T21:38:37.176-04:002010-05-30T21:38:37.176-04:00Clarification... that last sentence may sound like...Clarification... that last sentence may sound like the fearful feeling in many other countries is of our military...

Thanks for sharing... and even tho I don't seem to have enough time in the day to do the things I really love to do... like read, and garden, etc., etc.... I must find that book! With and entry like that, how can I not!? <br /><br />What do I love most about this great country? Our freedom to believe, do, work, share, speak and live how we wish to. That this country has given me a life that many would die to have, and many have died so I can have it still... that I get a lump in my throat when I hear our National Anthem... and when I see a uniformed military young or old person who is or has given their all to defend the USA - instead of feeling afraid as is the case in many other countries... that there never has been nor ever will be a greater nation... that Americans give and give and give...

Choices to decide what we eat where we go etc. I love so much about this county I can't begin to list it all. My dad entered the service at 17. He said he was 18 because his family had no money. He sent money home. I've seen pictures of him at 17. It changed him and changed his life. Seeing to much at a young age was to much for him. There were many others like him. A great price was paid and I am thankful for each day I enjoy our freedom.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287238810628574373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-68113769733305634262010-05-30T18:52:28.247-04:002010-05-30T18:52:28.247-04:00BTW, thank you for sharing that passage!
