More Freedom Lost

It isn't unusual for me to comment on the loss of freedoms I have seen over my short lifetime. I have seen many things go by the wayside, and attitudes change. This has all been done gradually. Little bits at a time, until today's generation, and indeed many of my generation, scarcely realize what's happening under our noses.

In the last few months I have been delving yet again into the history of our nation, especially what is not included in todays textbooks being used in our schools. There has long been a campaign to slowly turn minds of all ages. We have all been affected to some degree.

Last night I found this video. I had never heard of Naomi Wolf, but you can bet I will be digging deeper into this. Do I feel there is validity? I do. The skeptic in me, has now researched enough past history and current history of our country, to realize that it is cause for alarm, unlike the non-existent threats of the bird flu or global warming.

See for yourself. Do your own digging and reach your own conclusions. Isn't that what freedom of speech is all about? Or was. Nowadays if you disagree with the politically correct way of thinking you are put down for not being "open minded, or progressive". If you speak out against abortion, homosexuality, the right to bear arms, the IRS, the Zero Tolerance Policy,......you are going against the grain of today's thinking. Why is that? Why have our attitudes changed from the ones that founded this country? Propaganda. Reams of it over the years have done their job well. Whether it's all the drug ads that say we need their drugs to get better, to the notion that our children do not have the right to defend themselves. (Just remember while the school boards are politically correct, we parents as a whole continue to let this happen. And we need to be just as upset with the so called "legal" drugs as we do the illegal ones. And when on earth did our attitudes on smoking make it a criminal offense? Why should we allow the government to intervene in our choices, while heavily promoting dangerous food additives and GMO products?)

I consider myself a most patriotic person. but I also realize my patriotism stems from the old vision of what this country used to be and could be again. No way can I condone or support what is happening in this country now. Does that make me unpatriotic? No way!!!! I still believe in the unalienable rights bestowed upon us by our Creator. I just do not and cannot believe in the loss of freedoms, all done under the guise of democracy.
