How many constitutional rights are you willing to lose?

Not just forcing americans to have health care or Obama care. Lets just add that once this is written in to law,no future congress can change it. Do we want to be like China and be told what to do? How long will it take before the american people overthrow the U.S. Government.

    I am not willing to lose any. I'm also willing to fight to keep them, or get them back. Unfortunately, I have discovered in the last year that there are a lot of people, who I thought were just like me, who really think it's time to redistribute the wealth. They also seem to think that socialized medicine is a good thing. They also seem (incredibly) to think that it will all be free!

    I've heard these views from people with jobs, who own houses and cars and stuff, and seem to be doing reasonably well in life. But they all have the idea that the government is going to give them free stuff. Very few people that I have talked with recently seem to realize they are giving away their freedom and that their taxes will go up to pay for the "free" stuff.

    Honestly, I'm starting to believe that the tide has turned; that there just aren't enough of us left to turn the tide of socialism and one-world government. Please, someone! Convince me I'm wrong.

    Well, if you add together how many things that are important to our every day lives that are already being taken away and controlled by big government... let's see, health care, American auto industry, banking industry, housing industry... Well, no wonder they wanna move things so fast. Americans are dumb and they know it. Oh it's CHANGE! It's here! Yeah, but did he ever say whether it would be good CHANGE? I mean, let's face it, really this isn't Obama or anyone else we can blame. We've been heading down this road a long time now. And about the BE LIKE CHINA part, how about we're OWNED BY CHINA. Forget learning Spanish, learn Chinese.

    Americans are the proverbial frogs in the water. We've allowed the government to get bigger and bigger and given up more and more freedoms in the name of public safety. The Constitution is a dead document. The truth is there is nothing we can do at this point to stop the momentum. We are not a republic, we are not a democracy. We are a plutocracy. We have been for a long time. And we the sheeple will continue to feed at the trough as they feed us more BS.

    I truly believe there will never be a successful coup of the U.S. government, so if I get fed up with losing my rights, I'll look to other options, such as reclusion, emigration, etc.

    We have no constitutional rights.

    This is proven by the fact that government constantly and continuously violates these supposed rights. If it believed we had any, this would not happen.

    Why can't a future Congress change it since it is in violation of the 10th amendment?

    Ever ask how many canadains out there dont want medical care.

    "No thats okay i just want to die'

    which is what you country does to those who dont have medical insurance. How else would you be able to explain 20k deaths each to those who dont have medical insurance.

    which brings me to my point, no one, doesnt want to have medical insurance, no one.
