LOSS OF FREEDOM

I wonder if many people realize the losses for freedom they have allowed to be taken away. How many find it ( the government) slowly encroaching into every corner of their lives. One of the biggest freedoms allowed to be rescinded by the government is the freedom of speech. To be free to speak as you think is no longer a luxury, and we must be careful of the language and content of our "free speech." Saying that this person or that person must be removed from office, or this action is unconstitutional and should be blown up or erased or impeached and their name removed from the history books is no longer allowed. Why?, because it smacks of rebellion and thus open to investigation. Less than 50 years ago, people were encouraged to open verbal rebellion. The "SOAP BOX" orators were on a street corner in most every town, it was a sign of the health of a nation. Fear of what someone would say is a show of being paranoid. And now WE as a People are showing all the sign of a fearful paranoia. Think about it for once and see if you are not able to see elsewhere the loss of freedoms.
