I think a significant percentage of the population has lost the faith. Why else would they have voted for Obama and the collectivists? 52% of the voters have declared they are not capable of achieving success on their own. 52% have offered up their freedom for the "wealth" of government handouts. 52% have declared their desire to confiscate the money of those that work and strive to better themselves.

I would say to these people, you do not deserve your freedom. You have traded freedom for the illusion of security. I would say other things to you, but Samuel Adams said it much better over 200 years ago:
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and my posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams

To the rest of us, including myself, I am not sure we deserve freedom either. The next few years will tell. Will we stand and fight the collectivists, or will we just allow ourselves to be swallowed up as the last remnants of a once great idea?

I don't know about you, but I think the 48% have a lot of fight left in us!
