I will give up none of them without a fight. Benjamin Franklin said loosely quoted: "Those who give up liberty for security deserve neither." I agree with him.

I would not give up personal freedoms and believe we are less safe today than before 9/11. I would not give them up because I am a Patriot that defends the constitutoin this country was founded on. Google the american constitution, and find that several paragraphs are for the people. I do not have the time to search them for you.
I know that we have the right to freedom, and also the right to overthrow our government if it is necessary and that is our right to bear arms in this country. If you pay attention to whats going on, you will find that the UN wants to enact laws that take our right to bear arms away, and every time that has happened and people willingly gave them up in historic times, they have been slaughtered by the millions unable to protect themselves.
If we do not defend the constitution America will fall. Futhermore, if we do not nationally repent, we will fall. It is written.
