Well – ok, John Kerry doesn’t want that……
If you put a tax cut into the hands of a business or family, there’s no guarantee that they’re going to invest that or invest it in America.
They’re free to go invest anywhere that they want if they choose to invest.

Ellen Goodman’s a little unsure about freedom when it comes to all that reproductive freedom we have.
(regarding the fertility treatment of the women who just had octuplets)
We are far more rigorous about accepting people for adoption or foster care than for fertility treatments. But shouldn’t there be limits?
Blair Holt is pretty sure you shouldn’t be free to own guns unfettered with testing/registration/ every 5 years
This nefarious bill seeks to strip us all of our Constitutional Rights to possess and bear firearms of any distinction. It requires, within the first two years, that all new guns be registered. The bill goes retroactive after two years. Meaning that two years after the passage of the bill, ALL FIREARMS in a citizen’s possession must be registered, not just those purchased after the bill passes, and this apparently applies to antique firearms as well.
Every five years the firearm owner must go through a complete renewal process for each weapon owned. Failure to comply carries stiff penalties including confiscation of the firearms and jail time (penalties as high as ten years imprisonment in some cases). The bill also authorizes government searches without warrant, the creation of a federal bureaucracy to monitor firearm possession, etc.

Apparently priorities are shifting for a lot of people here in this country. Freedom is less important that “Democrat Agenda”.
In a couple more points
Gateway Pundit notes that Obama has figured out how to “inspire” union membership by requiring the government to only hire companies who’s employees chose union membership over not.
and
Anatreptic notes that someone, somewhere, on the left in the justice department, is “accidently” releasing personal information of right leaning foes.
Let’s just call it what it is–Fascism. As far as the Democrats are concerned, you have no rights, unless they are politically convenient for Obama and his associates.
HACMA (hope and change my ass)
So much for our father’s and grandfather’s America….we are on to Socialism Galore. Very sad.
I don’t see much hope but there is certainly a lot of change coming.
