You post at FREE Republic because you are all for freedom... but only the freedoms you approve of. Please move to a small country run by one person and then in a few years come back with a real understanding of the word freedom.

I am for "liberty." Freedom without responsibility is not "liberty"... it is "license" according to the founding fathers. The will of the people as expressed through their elected representatives is within the bounds of "liberty" as long as there is no infringement upon the constitutions of either the individual state or the US.

I have lived all over the world (eight years overseas) and in multiple states. Additionally, I have served in two combat theaters. Consequently, I think that I have earned the right to say that I have a "real" understanding of the word freedom. I don't need lessons from you, thank you.
