What "freedom" have you lost?
1. Freedom from unwarranted search and seizure. Lets just say a friend of mine had his life put on hold for three weeks thanks to the department of homeland security. He's spooked.
2. Freedom to communicate without fear of government reprisal. Need I remind you how the Ohio State Government unconstitutionally attacked Joe the Plumber during the last campaign?
Tip of the iceberg.
3. Freedom to choose my food. California has already banned trans-fats, and it is spreading. Will National Healthcare force people to follow dietary guidelines or have their coverage be revoked, as in the UK?
4. Freedom to smoke in a bar.
5. Freedom to purchase a healthcare plan, if the Health Care Bill passes.
6. Freedom to own media that I purchase, thanks to FCC regulation.
7. Freedom to purchase a gun in my current city.
8. Freedom to carry a weapon.
9. Freedom to use any weapon in self-defense.
And I'm just getting started...
Shit, you cant even own property with out a tithe to the government every year.
