Well said! Speaking from the point of view of someone who at one time lost his freedom for a considerable period of time, but was able to regain a place in society with little help from the government; Freedom is precious and can only be bought with blood in this fallen world. We must hang on to it at all cost. If we aren't willing to pay the price now by assuming responsibility for our own lives, someone later will have to pay for it with blood...again!
I have come to believe, that some who lean to the left have come to take our freedoms for granted. As long as no one is coming to them and making them do things against their will, and forcing them to give up their rights, they won't say a word until it happens. They don't equate a law as taking away their rights until someone is knocking on their door.
I think their are degrees at which we will go through to reach that point. If we wait till they are at our door then we are beaten, before we have a chance to fight. Better to go out screaming and kicking, than to lay down and give up.
