Our new site is based on the notion that here in the United States, you can express yourself however you want. Hey, It's a Free Country, right? But we also know that political discourse has reached a point where people are talking past, not to, each other. We've been asking our guest bloggers "What does the phrase mean to you?" and "What's broken in politics, and how do we fix it?" Now we want to hear from you! Take the Free Country survey below. You don't have to answer all of the questions, just tell us what's on your mind.
I think the concept of a "free country" is immaturely conceived by most Americans. I think they interpret it as they can do anything they want regardless of law or the responsibility to a social order and to other people. Thus the abundance of cheating on taxes, speeding and an anti-government sentiment.I believe people don't understand that "free" simply means we are not owned, enslaved, subjects or serfs and that we are still a country of laws. I feel that too many Americans feel that this former perception is their birthright.
