Do you think we are losing our rights? freedom of speech,freedom of religion,freedom to bare arms.ete?

Answer 1

Yes, they are going slowly but surely. Freedom of speech is going unless you agree with the Libs, just look at the fairness doctrine trying to be passed now, it's more like the unfairness doctrine of silencing talk radio. Freedom of religion unless you are Christian, it is sad to see what is happening such as the Ten Comandments being removed from courthouses by insane legislators. The right to bare arms? good luck with that, the more you see it happen such as gun control in Washington DC, the more crime you see. DC has some of the highest murder rates in the country. Liberalism is a failed ideology that is going to ruin this country.

Answer 2

Although we haven't lost any of these rights yet they are certainly under attack. In my humble opinion which seems to be more and more less popular I see the leaders of the Democrat party moving further and further left maybe because of the pressure put on them by organizations like moveon.org. After all they do have a lot of money which demands influence no matter how kooky they are. But I can't put all the blame on them most of it is the mind set of the "progressive thinking" left, which is we know we are right and we will use any means to incorporate our values on you. If it means taking away some of your rights (or modifying them) in the constitution then so be it besides that document is out dated and has little relevance in modern times. And the spineless republicans who seem to have abandoned conservative values sit back and say just don't demonize me like you have Bush I just couldn't handle that pressure. Hopefully the majority of folks will see that both parties have grown government so big and now try to manage so many aspects of our private lives that they do poorly in all. It's kind of like the United States trying to be the worlds police. The more we try to help the more other countries hate us. Even though I think our intentions are good ones for the most part. Folks if we don't start electing people who see that government is too big and is lke a bear in a china shop then we will continue on our road to having our rights in jepardy, it's much easier for an incompitent big government to stumble along if they have no or less oposition from the people.

Answer 3

Sort of...and oddly it isn't the left or the right to blame it's both. We've become a PC nation to the determinate of our freedoms. Words, religious freedoms and yes even the right to bare arms, heck even the act of smoking are being regulated for "our own good".

Answer 4

Of course! It rather obvious don't you think? However I must explain why. Being PC, frivolous law suits, lack of accountability and extremely dirty politics are the back door to our loss of freedoms. The core of freedom is still as strong as ever, it is just not as expressive and people are scared of their own shadows. I make this to be losing our rights like lemmings running over a cliff.

Answer 5

If we allow Yahoo to keep going the way they are then yes, we will lose all of our freedom of speech.

Answer 6

Free speech zones created to eliminate free speech elsewhere.

Freedom of religion is fading for anyone that is not a christian.

Right to bear arms was intended to allow the people the tools to overthrow the government as a last resort against tyranny now the government gets to pick and choose what weapons we can and cannot have.

Is this still the land of the free?

Answer 7

Freedoms are those movements secure with the aid of our rights. you are able to't lose rights with the aid of fact of freedoms. to date as music and telephones, there's an actual to pay attention and to communicate. yet those rights would properly be quite constrained in public, so as that they don't infringe on the rights of others to not could pay attention. it is why cities and counties can impose noise ordinances for intense volume, or require using earphones in public places. that is all approximately balancing one set of rights against yet another.

Answer 8

Christians are the only ones keeping their rights to freedom of religion? Yet we are being driven out of almost every public forum. My old High School can no longer have after school meetings for Christian groups (like FCA), we can no longer do prayer around the flag pole, and can no longer hold lunch prayer meetings. Yet, in certain parts of the country schools are required to make room for Muslim students to pray in? And Christians are the only ones with freedom to religion. No, not hardly. Christians are losing their freedoms almost as fast as athiests are lining up to sue the government or Christian organizations for sharing their faith.

Some of us are simply giving away our rights (speaking in a large picture not just on religion), due to these fanatical Democrats and Republicans who are fearmongering us into it. Mankind has produced 10% of the CO2 in our entire existance as Mt. St. Helen blew into the air in 1 day, but it is our fault that global warming is happening. So we give a little more taxes to stop global warming, we are told we cannot drive this, or take that airplane, or that we should stop buying this, and we gladly do it because we feel guilty over something someone has told us we have done.

A kid shoots himself (which is tragic and horrible) and because we have to stop Darwin's ideas and every life is valuable (which it is) we make it harder to get ahold of guns. We surround ourselves in the care and protection of mother governement and trust in old glory to keep us safe from all the dangerous things out there. The evil things that lurk in the dark and are going to destroy us all! In truth, the only way to be safe is to have the power. The federal government needs to return those powers to the state, and the state needs to give it back to the people. In truth we are the only ones that can take care of ourselves but it is just easier to let the government take care of us so we can do nothing and just sit back and whine about it. And so we just drift through life giving up one thing after another all in the name of saftey until one day we all have nothing but a warped vision of the world in front of a little picture box listening to someone else tell us how the world is and should be, then we will all be safe and happy, because no one will be running with knives, because no one will be running.

Answer 9

No. You can come on here or write to your newspaper or start a blog and say just about anything you want to short of libel. No one has tried to stop me from going to my church. If I pass the criminal history check, I could get a gun if I wanted to. So why would I think that? Could it happen? Maybe. But it currently hasn't, and no law is coming up in Congress anytime soon that is threatening to change it. Keep your eyes open, but don't get paranoid. Stay alert, not afraid!

Answer 10

Yes. But what to do about it?
