The people were to have unlimited Liberty to choose for our own individual best interest, with the Freedom of unlimited choices, without a government with a boot on our throats and a gun pointed in our faces, taking both Freedoms & Liberties.
Secure and protecting our Liberty, has turned into Harass and Fleece, as the governments role.
Maintaining the Free State has been suppressed by the Police State.


If you don't exercise your rights, you will lose them.

Well, its up to 'the people' to stand up and take action too, I put some of the blame squarely on us...lets be honest, most of us here do not want to step up and take this kind of patriotic action, because it would probably result in us being arrested, thrown in jail, possibly labelled a domestic terrorist, loose our job, income, families, etc!!


Being patriotic has never been easy, convenient or popular...it takes decades or longer for someone to go from 'terrorist/criminal' to 'patriot/hero.'

I take it you've never been anywhere else? It seems to be a popular right wing fallacy that the USA is "the only free country." What does that even mean? Do you even know anyone from other first-world countries?

I've been all over Europe (pre the wall coming down). In each and everyone of those countries you can be jailed, locked in a cage, if you say the wrong thing like, talk bad about Islam's supposed prophet, muhammed. How about the Canadian law that can cause you to be jailed, locked in a cage, if you refer to someone by the wrong pronoun.


Is that the freedom you want here?

You mean America’s greatness is not attributable to her ability to make people dependent on the government?

Other First World Countries ?
I have been in a few places pal and nothing ......nothing....
....as bad as you make it out to be...........is close to
making available the freedoms that the United States offers.

You mock the right wing ?
The Democrats have controlled the White House close to 70 of the last 100 years.
There lies your problem.................
