Yes…I am still ranting about the “Loss of Freedoms” thing!

With the protests today we see signs all over the place stating that our freedoms need to be save from the government……does not matter which issue is at hand….it will somehow destroy our freedoms…..

It has yelled for decades that somehow one party of the other and their agenda will kill our freedoms in the US…..my first question when someone says this to me is, “which freedoms are in jeopardy?”

Now a days their first reply is that of “Obamacare”……and again I ask which freedom will the passing of a health reform bill eliminate? And almost predictably, they say that it will destroy their existing health plan….my next questions is, “How will the bill accomplish such a feat?”  Somewhere about her is when the person usually mentions “socialism” and my question then is “Can you explain this?”  Next will come the trash talk about liberals…..here is where I ask them again, “which freedoms are you in the process of losing”?   Just as predictable as the sun coming up…they tell me that I just do not understand…..and here is where I just have to say, “you know you right…I do not understand….I do not understand how they can be so vocal and hateful and have NO idea why……Here I usually get called a wealth of names and other insults……I smile and thank them for their time and go to the next angry person….and then the whole process begins again…..

The word “freedom” is subjective and in so is open to a wealth of definitions….freedom is just another word to us to rev up hysteria, anger, fear and emotions….which as we know are extremely useful political tools when dealing with the public……..where were these loud mouths when freedoms were actually lost when the Patriot Act was passed?
