For most citizens, it doesn’t exist. It was strangled to death over the past few decades.
[Is American-style independence in danger?]
Has been since 2008 and the Kenyan Usurper. Many Democrats continue this war on traditional America.
Now joined by good buddy Open-Borders Boosh and brother Jeb!.
Yes. Prepare.
No no no
in fact this coming couple weeks is going to highlight how much people love their independence !!! and want their freedom to go to barbecues and bars and ballgames and fairs and amusement parks and everything else !!!
as the leftist idiots tries to shut them down - they will be RUN OVER !!!
Duh for Hughes, as usual; the last to know and therefore report urgent dangers.
Duh to me. That was Victor D...
In my view, that’s not “American style independence”
You can do all those things in China. Its far greater than that.
Yes. Very.
We are very close to a civil war or losing the country to outright communism.
We are being lied to by our leaders and, worse, some of us are being oppressed by tinpot totalitarian governors who have outright stolen our rights and stated enforcing their arbitrary rules with jack booted police forces.
You might call that hyperbole - I’m calling it a wake up call.
It’s time to fight back.
Yes, indeed, it is, Mr. Hanson.
You, me, all of us get to literally witness the end of the US as we have long known it. GG.
“...and stated enforcing their arbitrary rules with jack booted police forces..”
Tide will turn only when police become scared shitless to be police.
Or uphold the constitution as is their oath.
Wrong question asked too late.
Right question: Why did so many Freepers give up their independence?
My neighbor is from Russia. She has lived in the US for 27 years and is a citizen. She told me today that even though Russia is corrupt the people are a lot more free than here.
So long as we have Mr. Ruger and Mr’s Smith&Wesson and Winchester.
