No. It is it. Sad, but true
“I thought this was a free country”
According to the rent-a-cop at one of Obozo’s 2008 campaign stop “it ain’t no moo”
Free birth control.
Many events have added to the “no” to the land of the free. AMong the worst (not all):
Civil War (federalism)
1913 Federal Reserve Act
1920 Prohibition (rise of organized crime, 2A losses)
1930s gold confiscation
1930s social security program (ponzi scheme)
1940s internments
1960s great society programs (wealth redistribution, breakup of american families)
1970s - present war on drugs - swat use to terrorize regular criminals, not hardened drug houses and gangs, confiscate people’s entire property, rise of prison state
1920s - present Christians losing right to be Christians in all areas of their lives
1970s - present legal push for protected classes of citizens that are “more equal” than regular citizens because the government favors them
1980s, 1990s, more restrictive gun laws based on emotional response - 1986, 1994
2000s - patriot act, creation of tsa, dhs, making glorified baggage handlers “officers”
- can’t use your land the way you want
- can’t modify your house the way you want
- can’t live your religious values in all areas of your life if you’re Christian
Things are going downhill fast. Even FReeper, (and my own VP pick/hope in 2016, well, he WAS...), favorite Allen West voted for that nazi germany style NDAA crap.
How can America be “free” when a majority of Americans don’t even understand what that means?
Sigh. It is it= it isn’t.
America is gone. Follow the dots. An IQ of 60 understands this.
I know people who have come from Brazil...and from Russia...they say we have more ‘political freedom ‘then they do...but ‘their people’ have more freedom then we do.

B I N G O !!!!!!!!!!
No, it’s a statist nightmare.! Both the dem’s and the repub’s suck off the teat’s of big business to guide our course. Then the media propaganda guides us to one side or the other.
A complete joke!
“I have come to the conclusion in recent days that America is in fact no longer the land of the free.”
Welcome to the club.
It’s about to get much worse. Bostom made sure of that. It’s only a matter of time before random searches will be performed everywhere. And not long after that peoples’ homes won’t even be off limits.
That anyone could/would pose such a question in a serious manner tells me the answer is almost certainly “no.” If you have to ask if we’re free, we’re not.
No, it’s not free. Regrettably, our youth will never know real freedom.
