Freedom Under Attack

July 31, 2009

Welcome to my political blog. There are a lot of problems facing this country today. And one of the biggest problems facing us is the loss of our freedoms.
Our forefathers established this nation and set forth certain rights that are now being threatened as we speak. Our bill of rights was created by men who were much wiser than the political candidates of today. They must be turning over in their graves at how today's leaders are running this country.
A country that was founded on freedom has but a tenuous hold on those freedoms as men and women who sit in Congress are slowly trying to take them away little by little. They tell us they are doing what must be done for our own good, but they lie. They are only interested in pursuing their agendas with little regard to the people they are supposed to represent.
If we keep ignoring the warning signs, those who sit in power will continue to take away our freedoms.
They are already trying to remove the basis upon which this nation was formed: Christianity. First they took prayer out of schools. Now I have no problem with the separation of church and state within reason. But why do we have to demolish the very foundation on which this country was built.
The next freedom in jeopardy is the right to bear arms. If the NRA wasn't so powerful, we would already have gun control and the right to bear arms would have been taken away. It's only a matter of time before they take the guns. Now I'm all for strict rules when it comes to guns, but all the legislation in the world is not going to stop a criminal from getting a gun.
Why do we have to change a country's laws when it's the people's attitudes and behaviors we need to change?
What's your opinion?
