This is how it starts

You’re not talking about the same thing here as he was. Can you be more clear and tell what freedoms you’ve lost that others have that aren’t just personal opinions of how things should be?

Can you shape this question into your own image any more than you have already?

Way to pre-judge anything I might say as my personal opinion.

The New Gestapo is going to come down heavily on your side (i.e.your personal opinions), is that why you seem unconcerned about it?

The thread title changes noting about what she said or me but thank you. No logical reason, there are more than one that you choose not to see.

That's fine but you were asking about what freedoms have already been lost when the theme of the post was about the direction we are headed.

It's best to steer the plane away from the mountain before you run into it.

I asked what rights do you not have that others do. Something is either an opinion or it isn’t, where am I pre judging anything?

Military in the street for no reason other than grandstanding and fear.

I am reminded of all the fear mongering during Bidens term that he would outlaw gas ranges in kitchen stoves which were complete BS but all the news organizations ran with it as "the libs are taking away our freedom". There was no mention of the fact that the entire premise was false.

Now? Military in the streets? If no one pushes back we're in deep.

Indeed.

The Republicans don't want to admit it, and some Democrats can't believe it.

Not surprising that the Trump fanatic has no idea what a Free America means.

It means diff things to diff people, no question. Shav, if you are reading this, tell Suzianne what a free America is. Sue, hold on to your hat!!

Only one who is prisoner of their wants truly believes this.

A little philosophical realism from none other than Soothfast. He would have to elaborate for the Forum.

How about, instead of depending on money to bring one freedom, that American citizens can count on the Constitution to bring us freedom, simply by virtue of the fact that we are citizens?

One can easily have freedom without 'depending on money'. Lost me there.*

**That is your cue to say I am always lost or some such 🙂

PS: I hardly feel freedom if you tell me to pay for your son's tuition. Can I look to the constitution to free me from such a liability?? no, alas, i will not find it there.

Silver lining: at least they're not wearing masks.

The citizens who steal clothes at The Gap are wearing masks. How does one draw the line? You draw the line and get back to us.

Law enforcement doesn't wear masks because they aren't committing crimes. It's not a difficult line to draw.

Usually someone wearing a mask is actually breaking the law. If they are law enforcements officers then they should show themselves. They may be afraid of being alone and someone seeing them. That may not be such a good thing for them. 😉

This one says that one should not wear a mask unless committing a crime. He is saying that it is not permissible.

Nooooo.

It's such a weird presentation Joe. Since the criminals sometimes wear masks, then it's ok for police too?
