I have seen a lot of lost freedom since I was a kid in the 70's. If it were a Dim administration I can imagine what it would be like here at FR about this same thing.
I don't know what "freedoms" you've lost, but I can't say I've lost any. Oh, maybe the fact that I have to wear a seat belt and my kid has to wear a bike helmet when she rides to the park. Oh well.
If Bill Clinton had used the same powers to fight an effective war on terror, I'd be applauding him.
