We speak about freedom these days as if we know what that means but we allow our government to shut down reporters and spy on ourselves, just last night a vote in the senate stopped revisions of the NSA so they would stop spying on Americans, giant fail for personal freedoms.
We talk about freedom and somehow we believe that means the lack of religion when in reality the first amendment simply means religious organizations will not get a vote the people will and the people are allowed to follow and express any religion they choose. Remember the express part the next time someone tells a child they cannot pray or read the bible.
We have the 2nd amendment specifically so we may defend ourselves from those who would take our personal freedoms or from a government that has decided the same and yet our government currently is looking for any reason to take this personal freedom from you. Ironically the government taking the right to bear arms is the same one the 2nd amendment is meant to protect you from.
How about the unalienable right to a speedy and fair trial from your peers, well can anyone say patriot act or how about what is going on in the court of public opinion right now with Bill Cosby. Now I hope he is innocent but if he is guilty why didn’t any of these woman follow the constitutional directive and accuse him at the time of the crime. If guilty he should be punished but we have statutes of limitations for a reason, one these woman are violating right now, turning a provable crime into a un-provable he said she said that defames one party or the other.
Net Neutrality that is a hot topic right now is the government wanting to impose taxes and rules to your use of the internet. If that happens how free will you be then?
It seems that the more digging I do the less free I am, regulated into submission and told I have no choice. Rules on my rights such as the 2nd Amendment is plagued with and people saying there are exceptions. I have news for you right or wrong there should be no exceptions to human rights as there should be no exception to human value. We are either free or we are not and at the moment we rank 21st in the not column. I wonder if you knew the President would be so opposed to your personal freedom when at the polling booth would you have voted for him? I did know and will not vote for him. Because he is ethically evil and against the very document that reiterates my rights given to me by God not the government.
