RafaFeelings about entering WWI were mixed.Many Americans supported the war because they wanted to help their allied powers. Some Americans felt that the war was Europe's war and that it should only involve Europeans. Also, America felt that they needed to fight Germany in order to stop them from creating conflicts and taking lives. People feared breaking America's isolationism, but ultimately, America's involvement was responsible for achieving victory.
Public support for the war in all honesty was lukewarm at best. Many people - and for the first 3 years of WWI a majority in Congress - was isolationist, meaning that they saw no point in getting involved in the war at all.
Finally Germany made the mistake of trying to draw in Mexico into the war on its side, which was generally considered as a hostile act against the US. On this basis, president Wilson managed to convince Congress in 1917 to enter the war on the side of the British and French.

Yes, the purchase of Liberty Bonds was the main way in which the US financed World War 1 adn it showed patriotism by it's citizens.
How did the idea of freedom motivate the US to get involved in both World War 1 and World War 2?
I don't think the idea of freedom had much to do with the US entry into World War I or World War II. The US declared war on Germany in 1917 after the sinking of the Lusitania, where a number of US citizens died. The US entered World War II after the Japanese attack on the military bases at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and the German and Italian governments declared war on the US the next day.
