“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety?” - Benjamin Franklin

What I hoped would be a productive and somewhat sublime time in my life has turned into an age of daily shocks to my freedom loving core. Though I have watched the National and International news for years with great concern, I felt there were enough people in our country who understood the connection between security and freedom, that without freedom there is no security. And I believed that the reason to secure our nation was to preserve freedom. I have believed that the U.S. Constitution stood between me and tyrants. It did. And it should.
So what brings me to the appalling realization that, number 1, the U.S. Constitution is no longer guiding our leadership, and number 2, I am no longer surrounded by people who believe in the same tenets in that founding document? The first one there is easy. Obviously we are subjected now to a dictator in the White House. This dictator has set up a national politburo. A Soviet model of governance has taken over our land. But even so, I have had hopes that freedom loving, Constitutional believing, Americans would not stand for such destruction of freedom.
I’ve been hoping for something that I now believe has left the planet. The Faith of Our Fathers has died with them. We have people in this nation who hold zero understanding of freedom and zero respect for the U.S. Constitution. And these people are not just in D.C. as I had hoped. - Cheryl Pass

Not happening here, stormtroopers better have warrants. As far as the Nazi checkpoints (sobriety checkpoints) two phrases will do anyone just fine. Simply and politely state "Am I being detained?" and "Am I free to go?". No more, no less. But I agree in this day and age too many people don't know what Freedom is and when they don't know, they'll loose it.
