Grateful for Freedom

"Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live--at least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take...OUR FREEDOM!"
--William Wallace (Braveheart)

At the end of his Thanksgiving Day screed, Judge Nap suggests that we should not be grateful for a government that mocks our freedom and steals our property. Instead, we should give thanks to God for giving us freedom and the power to reason.

Be most grateful that we are free creatures made in God's image and likeness--so free that we can reject government's assault on our liberty.
