I Am American
The concept of freedom means different things to different people, depending on the level of freedom that you have in your life.
Most people, when they think of the definition of freedom, they think of Liberty, which includes freedom of speech. The definition of liberty is having the ability to act according to your own will, as long as it doesn't affect the ability of someone else to act according to their own will. Most rational people would agree that this is the way that a society should function.
Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
The importance of this paragraph is the basis for our system of government. This is what sets the U.S. Apart from all other countries in the world. If you understand what this means, you know that the U.S. Government is now trying to take control of many of the areas of our life, and taking away our liberty, and our freedom to make our own decisions. The Obama administration is not taking their powers from the consent of the governed, they are telling us that we are not smart enough to debate the issues of health care, global warming, etc. They are telling us that they know better than we do, what is best for us. They want to take away your freedom to do what what you want.
TAKING AWAY AMERICAN FREEDOM
Forcing people to buy health insurance, and fining them if they don't. Forcing people to pay huge increases in costs for energy, to line the pockets of a few people in the name of saving the planet from something that many prominent scientists don't even think exist, or don't think that it has any effect on the temperature of earth. If they control the health care system, they will be able to control most of the aspects of our lives, they will be able to tell us if we can get treatment for an ailment, if we can smoke, if we can eat fast food, if we can drink alcohol, or if we can do anything else that they feel we shouldn't do. I'm not saying that these things are good, what I'm saying is, because these are legal products, that we can readily buy, we should be able to use them when we want, as long as using them doesn't affect the right of someone else in their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
