I am really puzzled by the fact that we can speak our mind, but actually powerless in making the people to understand the real meaning of freedom.

Anyone who doubts freedom should spend a couple of years living abroad.

No we do not have as much freedom as we should. We still have more than the rest of the world though.
We don't have total freedom of speech. We have limited rights to bear firearms, we don't even have full rights to our own income. It is heavily taxed.
To me income is the biggest indicator. If you pay 20% to the government, you are 80% free, 20% enslaved. Could be worse, but it could also be better.
We don't have the right to our own property either. The government can take it away any time with iminent domain.
Now they want to jail people for spanking their kids. Kids without discipline grow up much less successful than those with discipline. Spanking is the best form of punishment (not abuse).

The Nazi regime also destroys the constitutional freedoms in our land. We are NOT free.to be truly free is to NOT work or serve in babylon and Mammon. but Money
the dreams i have of Nazi domination seem to be only ten years away. in essense it is already here. the one world government and its society are not servants of Gods kingdom They serve the anti christ through Secret combinations. but at the same time they profess with their lips that jesus is christ. Those who follow them are patriotic and being patriotic to serve the devil is not freedom.
Bondage is NOT freedom.
the banking system forces people to go into debt and therefore people are in bondage to slavery. The best thing to do is NOT buy houses or Knowingly choose to follow Mammon.

In a free country, you could play poker online if you wanted to, and the government wouldn't seize your money to pay for other people's healthcare.
