Freedom is lost

It was brought to my attention once that the term "Freedom Fighter" can be misleading. A Freedom Fighter is a Contitutional activist, essentially. One who wants our country to return to the fair and just union it was intended to be. Where knowing your rights as a citizen, and demanding that they be upheld, was a sign of patriotism ... not of being an "enemy combatant". Where each vote counted and they counted each vote. How is the term misleading? Well, as my father instructed me to do, answer these questions:

What does a Crime Fighter fight?

What does a Firefighter fight?

And now, what would a Freedom Fighter fight?

Thanks, Dad!

I carry a "pocket Constitution" in my purse and keep one in my home because I (as every American should) refuse to cower in the face of authority and waive my Constitutional rights because "they" said so.

First! Ha! But, yeah, the next five to ten years are going to be very interesting. Matter of fact, we should do a $10 bet on when the U.S. will officially be either (1)out of Iraq, or (2) fucked beyond repare.

Um... my bet for number 2 is ... about 7 years ago, lol. So sad.
