Don't need a straw poll, is it just me or are United States Freedoms being slowly auctioned off?

What say you?

[Granny Bear]

We prostituted our rights away in the last election.

[TheRealVille]

What freedoms do you mean, Spirit? What freedoms have we lost?

[old PB05]

To say we have the greatest country on the planet isn't so true anymore...sadly. We can pretend all we want and be blinded all day. Our punishment towards those whom need it is an absolute joke....Should be an eye for an eye! We should hang child molesters, woman abusers, animal abusers, drug dealers, murderers....cut the hands off of thieves to where we know who our thieves are...To hell with prison for the most part as it is tax payers money paying for animals. WORK FOR A LIVING! Plain and simple. Quit handing free stuff out as our tax payers pay and our government, or lack of, backs it. I'm so sick of so much in this country. What happened to the days of doing what's right instead of supporting what's wrong!

[Mr. Onion Head]

I was wondering the same thing. What freedoms do we no longer have?

[TheRealVille]

C'mon Spirit, you started the thread, tell us what freedoms you have lost. Granny, since you say we lost our rights, tell us what rights you refer to.

[Spirit100]

C'mon Spirit, you started the thread, tell us what freedoms you have lost. Granny, since you say we lost our rights, tell us what rights you refer to.

I simply asked a question. I never said lost. I asked, are they slowly being auctioned off?

Regardless of where in the aisle folks sit. Now more than ever privacy, guns, liberty, right to gather, just to name a few off the top of my head, are coming under heavy attack. I'm curious as to what other folks think. Nothing lost yet....

Privacy is because of the muslim threat that started way back when. But, you really haven't lost any privacy. I'm very ok with someone keeping an eye on people that are prone to pose a terrorist threat. Guns, you can still own any gun you like, sadly there is really nothing to stop you. That's why we have to deal with so many shootings each year. We are still allowed to gather peacefully. Liberty? Again, tell us what liberty you have lost? The truth is, we still have all our freedoms and liberties, that we've always had.
