Are you freer today than you were before Obama ?
Survey shows grave concerns by Americans about Big Brother

WASHINGTON
Nearly half of all adults in America believe there has been a decrease in personal freedom under the Obama administration, which signals a significant degree of alarm across a wide swath of the population, the WND “Freedom Index” Poll finds.
Significant percentages of Americans see their personal freedom diminishing under President Obama and even fear speaking their minds, expressing their political and religious views and freely associating with others because of potential retribution by government, the scientific survey conducted by Wenzel Strategies found.
The poll was conducted June 6–10 using an automated telephone technology calling a random sampling of listed telephone numbers nationwide. It included 22 questions and carries a 95 percent confidence interval. The survey included 790 adult respondents.
“These twin findings – that nearly half think the Obama administration has reduced freedoms and that a notable majority think government is using technology to intrude into the lives of citizens – paint a picture of a nation on edge over what might come next,” said Fritz Wenzel, director of the survey.
The nation is clearly divided along racial lines on the question of Obama’s impact on personal freedom, as two out of three African Americans say there has been an increase but just one out of three whites saying the same thing. A majority of whites – 52 percent – said they have seen a decrease in freedoms, and 26 percent of blacks agreed. Almost half of Hispanics said there has been a “big decrease” in freedoms under Obama.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
Looking at the future when all these things Obama is doing take effect…my answer is no. Actually I might as well say NO now, there is that pesky DHS thing, and guns and a rather nice knife for protection.

“Are you freer today than you were before Obama ?”
Hell NO! I am significantly less free. And what freedoms I have left are rapidly going away under the direction of O’Sambo.
Be afraid America. Be VERY afraid.
Well, we have had a weakening of the 1st and 10th Amendments for one thing. There is even a movement to repeal the 22nd Amendment on presidential term limits.
There has been a promise to restrict gun ownership by obama and Holder. There has been the public plan to increase taxes on everything we do and buy. The government is taking over businesses and telling ceo’s what to do, They are promising to regulate the climate, our medical care and everything else.
Hell no I don’t feel freer. I feel less free.
If Cap and Trade and National Health Care go through, kiss it good-bye. That will be the end. Zero has already emptied our coffers and is working on the future, this is only 4 and 1/2 months and we are in this much trouble.
When I was a kid it was a free country. Today, especially today, we are not free and much less free than we were 5 months ago.

that!
Tom, OMG that is scary, if they do that

monster Obama forever.
“There is even a movement to repeal the 22nd Amendment on presidential term limits.”
Mark, yes your right, each day we get
less free.
The solution? Buy all the guns and ammo you can because when O’Vomits brownshirts are assembled via Americorp, they’ll be coming for all of us. And as my relatives found out the hard way, you don’t normally survive a concentration camp.
