The "Great Experiment": what we may be if allowed to be. No government in history ever wanted to know.

This is from my comments on another thread about the Great Alaskan Iditarod challenge.
"First time really thinking about this contest. Though I always found it quite impressive for its courage and perseverance, that was it. Yet there is, I feel, something uniquely American about it. This nation practically from its inception, inspired by the liberties we then alone enjoyed, have more or less been in Iditarod for two hundred years and are still going. The freedom we enjoy here gives us a spirit to push the limits and challenge any obstacle. We are born to be adventurers and path-finders by the inculcation of this "great experiment" of our country: what we may be when allowed to be. The possibilities seem endless.

Parts of the First Amendment are gone. The Left wants to repeal the Second. The Fourth is history and the Fifth is disappearing as fast as DNA database technology is maturing.
All of those losses are ideas pushed by the Left.

Examples of what? Those statements should be self-explanatory.

RE: First - we now have something called "h**e speech". We are no longer able to freely practice our religion if we are in business.

RE: Fifth - The Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination does not extend to the collection of DNA or fingerprints in connection with a criminal case. The Supreme Court has held the privilege extends only to communicative evidence, and DNA and fingerprint evidence is considered non-testimonial.
If one is arrested for any infraction, DNA can be compelled to be given and retained even if one is not convicted of any crime. Fail to wear a seatbelt and you can be swabbed, catalogued and investigated for everything and anything.
I would have expected you to know these things.
