The Fast Eroding of Our Freedoms

As the Obama Administration is making policy, our freedoms are being systematically eroded except, of course, a woman's right to murder her unborn child. One by one they are attempting to control every aspect of our lives. What we eat, our health care choices, what kind of car we want to drive and the list goes on. For extreme liberals it is all about control and I am sick of it. Liberal policies have destroyed the economy in California and the rest of America is next.

GREEN TECHNOLOGY TO COMBAT MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING
They contend that global climate change is man made so they will attempt to pass laws that will tax the coal and natural gas industry, the same industry that affords Americans products and services that improve the quality of our lives, out of existence in favor of so call "green" technology. The problem is green technology won't get the job done. Quite frankly, it won't even come close to sustaining our standard of living. Be vary wary of the "smart grid" technology. Smart meters are supposed to help you save money on your electric bills but what really is going on here is that if and when they go all green, there will not be enough electricity to go around. The government will use the smart meters to shut you down when they think you have used your allotment for the day. Remember California's rolling black outs a few years ago. Get ready for that everywhere. California would not allow the building of more power plants and are paying a huge price. Let's face it, energy use is going up. All energy resources must be utilized.

HEALTH CARE REFORM
This is a huge power grab by the Federal Government. Just think, health insurance for everyone. Health care should be private, period! I don't believe the government should have any right to dictate what treatment people will get, when they will get it or whether they get it at all. If the government provides health coverage there will be premiums that must be paid by these uninsured people and it won't be any cheaper than the options out there now. So those choosing not to purchase will be forced to. Then when the government realizes that the premiums being paid is not enough to sustain the system, private insurance will be terminated. Then the next phase of government control will be ushered in.....

YOUR ARE WHAT YOU EAT
Yes, the government will try to control what you eat. Get ready for the next huge tax increase of food.... the junk food tax. Taxing fast food, snack food or any food the government deems unhealthy. They already tax alcohol and tobacco and unhealthy food is next. This tax will hit poor Americans the hardest. Now I know what you are thinking....is that really a bad thing? It's about Personal freedom. The freedom to make our own choices. If you get government health care, you will have no free will on what you consume.

When Americans depend on government for more than what the constitution has set forth, we have allowed them total access to control our freedoms. God gave us free will and the government will take it away because we have allowed it. Ronald Reagan said it best "Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem."
