Land of the Free



Constitutional Freedoms

The First Amendment guarantees the freedoms of religion, speech, assembly, and the press.

FDR'S Four Freedoms 

His "four essential human freedoms" included some phrases already familiar to Americans from the Bill of Rights, as well as some new phrases: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

God Given Freedoms

The three “God-given” rights are in the Declaration of Independence - the right to ““life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” That was written in 1776, a year after the war had started.

Trump's Take

White Christian Nationalism, Truth Social and conspiracy theories, the January Sixth insurrection, and the press is the enemy of the people. 

So, what's happening? Revenge and Retribution. Demonizing opponents. The dismantling of our democracy.

I’m holding on to my freedom / Can’t take it from me / I was born into it / It comes naturally

- Jill Scott, “Golden” (2004)
