Americans do you believe that we can?

Do you believe that we can keep our freedoms with big government telling us what we can and can not do?

Update:

Yes, Truth Hurts. And the truth is that Obama is determined to put government into every part of our lives. Is this what Americans really want? I don't think so.

Update 2:

Truth Hurts: Are you really ready to pay for all these programs that Obama is getting passed? Are you even a tax payer? If not, then I guess it would look like a good deal to you.

Update 3:

You don't know how he is trying to put government into every part of our lives?

Then please do your research so you can know the truth.

    How is Obama putting government into every part of our lives? He's offering AFFORDABLE health insurance, not even UNIVERSAL. Those countries with the most freedoms all have universal, and hes not even going as far as that, and those countries are still more free than us, so how bad could it be? Most of the services or changes hes offering, are similar to services or systems that those countries already have, and they are doing better than us right now, so whats the problem? Different times call for different measures. I think Obama is an idiot when it comes to things like speaking on that professor who was arrested and things like that, nobodys perfect and Im not 100% a fan. But I think he was a better pick than the opposition, and most of his proposals are sound and make sense at this point in time. I think you are making an ant hill into a mountain, same as most people who are easily swayed by Fox. The guy was a lawyer who specialized in Constitutional Rights. You think a guy who spent a large portion of his life fighting for individual freedoms is trying to take them away now? Get real.
