"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was like in the United States where men were free."

what is america? a nation( The U.S.) or a Continent (Mexico, Canada, Brazil etc)?

@MrPorterhouse Ronald Reagan was a B movie actor and a NWO shill who attended places like Bohemian Grove along side Nixon and George Bush Sr....I can almost guarantee he didn't write that quote.

@franciscolopezus Care to explain what part of this is "deceptive propaganda" or you're too scared to do so?

@Mortonc3 It is true that Paine and Jefferson worked to provoke the Revolution prior to the Constitution. But the Constitution couldn't very well have been written before freedom had been won. So while the US celebrated 4 July 1776 as its birthday, it took some time to establish exactly how government was to function - AND WHAT ITS LIMITATIONS WERE.

[Mortonc3]

@Mortonc3 I'm being a little unfair I guess, they don't equate it in this video, but there is still the insinuation that the Constitution was written with the same principles which lead to the Revolution. If you read revolutionary documentation its opposed many of the ideas incorporated into the Constitution under the Convention, such as a single executive head, taxation, the mode of election and the absence of a bill of rights.

[Mortonc3]

I also have a question. This is all basically economics right? So if the members of the Constitutional Convention agreed with the revolutionary idea that being economically tied to England was detrimental to the standard of living within the Colonies, then how come the Federalists pushed so hard to secure economic ties with England during the negotiations for Jay's Treaty? How come the most well known and respected Federalist of them all, George Washington championed the cause?

[Mortonc3]

I see a common error in this video. People equate the Constitution with the founding of the U.S. The Constitutional Convention were not the founding fathers and their ideology was fought against by people such as John Paine and Thomas Jefferson. The Revolutionary war was not fought on the principles of the Constitution. It is disinformation to present history in such a light.

@cptnoob92

That's about as ignorant of a statement as ever there was.

@4lifeReagan Yes I did watch the entire video, and I fail to see why you are bringing up an argument that has nothing to do with my comment. We me be loosing our "freedom" thanks to people like me, but we are loosing our future thanks to gullible, pessimistic, ignorant people like yourself.
