Sarah Palin Believes The Military Gave Us Our Freedom

She opened her Tea Party speech in Nashville with this:

Do you love your freedom? If you love your freedom, think of it. Any of you here serving in uniform, past or present, raise your hand? We are going to thank you for our freedom. God bless you guys. We salute you. We honor you. Thank you.

The Declaration of Independence, however, asserts that liberty is an unalienable right with which we are endowed by the Creator, not by flesh and blood, human effort or will.

This sort of ignorance of our Founding is perennial, but inexcusable in politicians, especially in those who claim to be conservatives.
