Where is the ACLU regarding these new dictatorial laws? They seem strangely silent. Or do they only initiate legislation that destroys the fabric of our nation?

All free in exchange for your personal Freedom. See how that worked out in the Soviet Union.

We now have a centralized federal government that is going to be demanding and forcing health care choices on us. They regulate our cars, our speed, whether we use a cell phone or not, our lightbulbs, our washing machines, our property via taxes, our cable companies, our labor laws, our workplace etc. Every single thing you do or touch now is regulated or stamped by some bureaucrat, all filling useless forms along the way.

I agree!!

They must be teaching this in school, FREE is good. Not teaching the it comes from someone elses pocket. Think it's easy to vote for "free stuff" when your either really poor, or collecting a pension check.

Retiring at 50 and collecting pension or never working a day in your life, has ruined this country. When there's no money going in the bucket, it eventually dries up.
