Freedom is one of those unusual words when we are using it to allow thugs to dominate public meeting and threaten us with 2nd amendment rights if we don't go along with what their views... That is what the brown shirts did...

No... Freedom to me means exactly that... ***Free-dom*** Free of rednecks trying to scream and threaten their views onto the entire nation...

The US is in decline mostly because the right has gotten it's way for way too long while our competitors have been "up to speed" with what it takes to live with globalization... The US strangely enough is "just watching" and will continue to decline until it discovers that the Reagan economic model is archaic and not going to get *US* turned around..
