Look "freedom" up in your dictionary.
At it's core, freedom is an individual issue.
Well here, we're talking about POLITICAL freedom. A good definition given by Milton Friedman of political freedom is simply the absence of government coercion. As the Declaration of Independence says, our lives and freedoms are God-given, not man given. But man can steal what is rightfully ours. That is the issue today - will we let the Leftists steal our freedoms? So far, we have.
