AMERICA, FREEDOM AND THE GREAT MYTH

I love how people tend to expose America as being the "Freest Country in the World". What planet are you from and how did you ever come to that determination exactly? Nothing is free in America unless your an Illegal. Those who pay taxes are well aware of just what freedom we have. Who has driven down the interstate and saw a speed limit sign? Funny I don't think Germany has that on their Autobahn. Okay, now let's go to Amsterdam, drugs- they are "legal", now lets move on to Mexico where you can purchase steroids over the counter and Property taxes- what is that? How about the Insurance that you can get if you move to Cabo San Lucas, which is about 40% cheaper than the United States insurance.
Our First Amendment, Freedom of Speech, funny because you can't dare use anything that's not politically correct or someone can be offended and slap a lawsuit on you. The 2nd Amendment, well it's only if you pay your dues and have never had a Felony, wait a felony can be from a DUI charge, which must in fact make you a hardened criminal and land you in the "Big House" because you drink alcohol which is perfectly legal if your over 21. How about that drinking age, in Europe there isn't any and in Mexico it's 18.
How about our banks in America, they want our kids social security numbers, and they now photo copy your driver's license if you withdraw more than $2000.00, or how about their checking fee's. Not so free are they? Every time someone doesn't like something, they implement a new law, which in FACT takes more and more of our FREEDOMS from us. I see it all the time, someone will complain that they don't like the way someone was driving and out comes a new law, next it will be fining people for standing in a line the wrong way. When does it end exactly?
So, the next time someone tell's me we live in a Free Society, I will hold you to it and sing Amazing Grace at my daughter's school in front of the Muslims who attend. By the way, enjoy your pork chops while you can still get them, I hear they are "offensive".
