Well ya know what happens when you assume...

I posted a pic that pretty much says it all. And uh, maybe I'm just too optimistic but I would think most people can take a look around and figure out for themselves how many of our rights and privileges have been taken away from us. The law makers get away with murder while the common man struggles to keep their head above water and live comfortably. If you can't see it then I don't know what to tell ya.

You can debate till you're blue in the face. I won't because it's pointless. You either see the facts as they are or you keep your head in the sand.

Nope, but it's getting better instead of worse. And you hate to see that.

Every day more and more personal rights and freedoms are eroded under the guise of "Progression" and "whats good for us". I'll decide whats good for me. I don't need another country, politician or minority activist telling/forcing me and at the same time charging me for it.
Please list the personal freedoms you've lost in the past year.

US economy improved in recent months: Federal Reserve-International Business-News-The Economic Times

A year and a half ago, economists were saying that Walmart was a big beneficiary of the recession. Here's what they're saying now.

As The Economy Improves, Shoppers Ditch Walmart - The Consumerist

And here's some encouraging news...

Of course, you have the right to be dissatisfied and gloomy in the face of the looming recovery.

Now, would you please list the personal freedoms you've lost in the past year? I'm still waiting. Thanks.

Of course. Because you can't answer. Because you haven't seen your "personal rights eroded" at all. But it's a typical play by uninformed right wingers who think Limbaugh and Beck are newsmen; make up something and then loudly complain over how awful your fantasy is.
