Not too long ago a third rate NBA player revealed his gayness. From the President to every media talking head the news was universally celebrated. Chris Broussard, an ESPN talkie, broadcast his opinion that gayness was a sin against the God of his religious convictions. In an instant, ESPN called his comments "a distraction" and followed the political correct agenda that a gay basketballer demonstrated "diversity". Broussard was forced to amend his comments. Also, does a racial slur by Paula Deen spoken twenty years ago justify her universal condemnation ? Why was Phil Robertson subjected to so much criticism for expressing his fundamental religious views of marriage and gayness ? Are our first amendment rights only in play if we say "politically correct" things ? Are the witnesses to the governments Benghazi debacle being denied their rights of free speech ?
Next, the Homeland Security Department is buying tons of ammunition while President Obama and his supporters propose more and more restrictive gun laws. Somehow the very clear wording of the second amendment, "... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed " is being ignored by a lot of political and media leaders. How many crooks give a damn about obeying gun laws, or any laws ? What is the real reason our current federal regime wants to restrict the legal ownership of firearms and sufficient stores of ammunition ?
Agencies of the federal government can now track your every word on practically any computer, telephone, or other electronic device. As the technology advances, drones, conventional and infrared cameras can watch every move made by every citizen. Implanted chips may soon identify every human being, their location or medical condition(s). Are these scientific advances good ? Do these initiatives take away your fourth amendment right, "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches ..." ?
Seems as we allow the federal government to gain more power our individuality shrinks and some of our constitutional rights are diminished. Perhaps we could learn a lot listening to survivors of the Holocaust or escapees immigrants from Cuba, North Korea or Venezuela .
