Yes!!!!! Everything, including freedom is for sale in the USA,,, and I am too poor to afford it! I am not even permitted to think how I wish or feel how I wish in public. That is the ultimate slap in the face of the free country of the world!!!!!

Yes, I do. The increase of government intervention in the free market has been one of the largest contributing factors in inflation. The gap between the wealthy and the average american is at historic highs. The animosity this gap creates in turn fuels the governments intervention.
Intervention has also increased the amount of capital needed to be truly competitive by means of pollution emitting standards, price caps and increasing costs with taxation to name just a few. This increase in capital expenditures has reduced competition, leading to larger and larger profit organizations, which again lead to more intervention due to a somewhat monopolistic industry.
The basic economic principals this nation followed at its infancy have been lost, and the nation is following.

Yes.
Domestic spying (NSA), Big Brother.
First Amendment is taking a beating...if you criticize the government you're branded as a terrorist.
Christians can't even peaceably demonstrate without being arrested and charged with hate crimes.
Patriot Act is in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Torture is in violation of the Eighth.
Unborn children are denied their inherent right to live...this "right" to abortion is NOT about freedom...it's about selfishness.

I haven't noticed a difference. I still do whatever it is I do every day. My life has actually been better since I graduated from college and got this thing called a job. I got married to who I chose to get married to, I have 2 kids, bought a 4 bedroom home with a pool and a nice front and backyard. My vehicles are paid for. I enjoy trips to the lake with my family on the boat and teaching my oldest boy how to fish. I enjoy going to my kids' soccer and baseball games. I'm enjoying the freedoms this country has to offer me. So no, I haven't noticed loosing any of my freedoms.

They got here first for the Communists, and that i did no longer talk up because of the fact I wasn't a Communist. Then they got here for the Jews, and that i did no longer talk up because of the fact I wasn't a Jew. Then they got here for the commerce unionists, and that i did no longer talk up because of the fact I wasn't a commerce unionist. Then they got here for the Catholics, and that i did no longer talk up because of the fact i replaced right into a Protestant. Then they got here for me, and by way of that element no person replaced into left to talk up. i assume I won't problem asserting something because of the fact i'm no longer a terrorist. merely when you consider which you're no longer what they are finding for on the instant that would not recommend you is merely no longer what they are finding for next week. think of approximately this...if Hillary Clinton is elected how plenty will you have faith her with the perfect to study your emails, get a catalogue of books you have study, and pay attention in on your telephone calls?

The Patriot Act can allow the president to label anyone an "enemy combatant" and all my civil liberties, including the ancient right of habeas corpus is out the window.
The snooping of mail, email, and phones, which are illegal, has invaded my privacy.

Yes, the USA is slowly but surely becoming more and more
of a police state....Big Brother is too intrusive and getting worse....Considering the state of danger due to increasing
Islamofaschism, I don't know that there are many options...

Big Brother is constantly watching you, gaining a profile about you and keeping track with your every move. Getting ready for the Mark of the Beast runners.
