Are our constitutional freedoms at stake?

Question

Is it time to stop following and start leading?

Answer 1

the best question in a long time..and yes
start making your voices heard more,
let them know your out there, your state reps, etc.
there is the saying, even your bullshit is bullshit.
they are taking our freedoms away slowly, and calling it being pc

Answer 2

I think our rights are slowly being eroded away. I have never believed all of these conspiracy myths, but now I am wondering. Is Big Oil and Big Business running things? The terrorists, for the most part, come from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Why the heck did we invade Iraq? Our presence in Saudi Arabia is one reason the terrorist hate us. Why are we still there? There are many other areas to put our military bases that won't anger them. The terrorist threat is being used to slowly take away our basic rights as Americans. Scare enough people and you can pass any kind of law. The Bill of Rights should never, ever be tamper with. We have a chance next years to vote into office people that will bring back some sanity. Take a look at the voting records of your senators and congressmen and women. Only We The People can make the changes.

Answer 3

I have been talking this up since 1968. When the Gun Control Act of 1968 was signed into law I could see the writing on the wall. The Second Amendment is just about gone and when you start seeing the Bill of Rights with "REPEALED" stamped across the 2nd Amendment you can count on seeing the rest fall in a matter or weeks if not days.

Answer 4

About 1930 when oil became king and greed became the watchword, not many noticed. For the last 70 years though more and more people have come to understand that now everyone they talk to, read about, watch on TV not only believe that GREED makes the world go 'round but that lying to each and every person in this country is what keeps GREED from disappearing. Politician lie, doctor's lie, the pharmaceutical companies lie, your next door neighbor lies, everyone lies rather than admit that greed is the normal function of our society. If you ever discover a way to make politicians, doctor's and others of the same ilk tell the truth, then maybe this country will get turned around. But as it stands today, in my lowly opinion, this will not happen for at least another generation.

Answer 5

yes i do think that the leaders have went way over board in some of the laws they keep passing -- i am a firm believe that i should be able to do anything as long as it only hurts mysel == the next thing i look for them to is pass how much sleep i can get or the it aganist the law to eat white bread!!! == this latest energy bill sucks -- if i can afford to drive a vehicle that only gets 1/4 mpg that should be my right -- on the other hand most of use farmers have 1/4 ton all purpose vehicles that we use around the farm but we can not put tags on them and use on the roads even thought they get upwards of 75 mpg!!!!

Answer 6

Our Freedoms have been slowly being taken away for a long time. Our Government is no longer run by THE PEOPLE it is run by Big Business.
Even the Federal Reserve is not federal it is a group of private large banking Moguls that actually call the shots. The set the Interest rates, They set policy and everything else. 95% of those going into politics anymore do it for the money and power NOT the people, and those that do go in for the people are simply out voted by their peers.
Ins companies, Banking, healthcare, are all out OF CONTROL and allowed to rape us. The loans given to those making less then 35,000 a year are at 23% interest (car loans) 2 tylenols in a hospital are 20 dollars this list is endless.
Those Health care companies, Who bill medicare
are Thieves.
One Example. THE SCOOTER STORE
5000 for a scooter, then when the warrenty runs out they bill 50 to the consumer for yearly battery replacements, on top of billing medicare 150 for each battery. Mind you those same EXACT batteries are available in a golf cart store for 35 dollars total. I am not talking about close to the same but the Exact MAKE and model number.
That is theft, and it is why everything and everyone
is being raped, and controlled by Big business and the Puppet US government anymore.
I love my country and will die defending her, But take shame in what we have allowed to happen.
and am even more ashamed at the cold blooded greed of the companies here in the USA.
And the Government that allows it. and in many many ways supports it.
I take care of my 79 year old mom in my home by myself, I am 38 and was layed off my job of 12 years in the Aerospace industry, With no other jobs that pay even close to the 16 an hour i was making we are fast sinking into poverty, I have been forced to sell close to everything to just keep Water(40% increase) Elec(10% inrease) gas(20%increase) my car for moms doctor visits (23% interest rate) Medicares 20% deductable
the list is endless . By the end of January my unemployment stops and at 240 a week and never came close to paying for just basic life.
Yes you are free to be controlled by Blood thirsty greed in the US.. RIGHTS WHAT RIGHTS ,THE RIGHT TO DIE POOR. The right to work yourself to death to feed the banking, ins, healthcare, and big business richer. Thats the only rights we have

Answer 7

Yes, I think all our freedoms are a stake! I lead where and when I can... Just do the best ya can with what you've got, then get on with gett'in on!

Answer 8

You need also remember that the Government is not our Government anymore. This is sad to know:( Alot of the reason our country is going down is because we are turning away from our God. Our founding fathers of this great Nation has told about a time like this(its talked about in the movie Megiddo) unlike the false things you may have heard from other sources(I wouldn't trust w/a 10 ft pole). Take time to read the Bible & you will find out how terrible things will get in the very near future. Its true & before its too late we need to pass the great Word of Truth before its too late. Along w/prayer & asking God to forgive not only ourselves of the SINS we have done but also our country. I feel so ashamed sometimes that I don't do more, but am striving to tell more now then I have in the past. May God forgive us & help us before His wrath for the unjust comes & the Anti-christ comes to do his dirty work.

Answer 9

Superb question. Quick answer for you. YES.
In some small city in Wisconsin they started to finger print drivers for all moving violations.
The FBI just admitted to building a super computer to record eye retina, finger prints, palm prints, ear lobe shapes (True, believe it or not.) And a DNA data base. All you have to do to not get placed in that computer live life in a low profile. Walk the thin line.

Answer 10

The people in our age group fought in wars, protested wars, rallied for racial equality, struggled to end sexual discrimination in the workplaces and government abuse of power.

What you see today is the result.

I'm a slow learner, but I'll pass on the leading and/or following this time around

Answer 11

I believe things are changing and changing fast. It's up to us to become informed and then do something about it. I, personally, don't agree with the president's policies and I write my representatives, go to war protests and send care packages to the soldiers who are fighting this war.
I'm not a follower, I'm a leader and my big mouth has got me in trouble in the past. But people can take it or leave it. I won't try to cram my beliefs down anyone's throats. We're all in this together.
