Freedom of Speech

My son and I (14) were discussing the constitution as related to his social studies class a few nights ago on the way to Walgreen’s. The discussion led into him explaining things to me he could see that just didn’t seem right. As he continued it led into how most of his friends didn’t like our current president or his policies (private school capitalist parents endoctrinating there children…. GOOD!). I can’t remember specifics but as the conversation progressed we walked into Walgreen’s and he said “I’ll tell you in a minute”. What, Huh! Remember now we are in the store, and he stops discussing the topic at hand…… Well I about lost it (probably over reacted) “what do you mean I’ll tell you in a minute”. I explained son this is the most free country in the world. If we won’t discuss our position or feel we must hold our tongue we are no longer free. Was he afraid of persecution? I explained buddy when you no longer have a voice you are no longer free. Your opinion is as important as the next guys in the USA. Don’t be afraid to speak of your beliefs, if you won’t defend them who will? Son you are coming into an age when more and more your beliefs will be challenged. Understand your position, defend your position so that your children may have the same opportunity.

America we must not politically correct ourselves into bondage. What are your values and principles? Will you defend them? What are you scared of that makes your hold your tongue? are you or yours willing to just be quiet, for how long, at what cost!

Sick to Death of the Government over reaching

At what point did we all decide the best decisions were all being made in Washington. I am sick to death of turning on the news (tv or radio) telling me what injustice has been done that is so great. I can normally guess! Spent too much, over reached there power, whatever! We have to begin to pay attention. Everything is spun to be so positive but very quickly now our  freedonm is being taken from us. First they come for the CEO’s, smokers, executives recieving bonuses, etc soon they will come for you. We all want rights but no reposnibilities! Keep accepting things from the government and don’t be upset when they come to take something of yours. Maybe not money but maybe your freedom….

Let us try freedom on for size. Try hunting wild game $150 in permits and license (tax), tax on ammunition, required training on hunters safety (tax), make sure you utilize the correct ammunition (lord forbid we actually kill something), don’t have more than three shells in your gun (huh), make sure its not public landor you need another permit (tax). How much does the governemnt need for me to feed myself?

A government of the people by the peole for the people, really. Do you have a voice. You vote as you should but how much faith do you have in that now?

We prosecute criminals but release them because a police officer screamed at him or her. Do we have laws we enforce? We attack execs by making up new laws while we allow illegal immigrants to break immigration laws. Where does it stop?

How do you make a living? Is it hurting the “environment” well then you should taxed more. Did I mention you exhaling is destroying the planet. A stick us all?

America, our politicians here from radicals continuously let them here from you! It is not thetime sit on your rear. Voice your opinion.
