Will America always be free?

[dansazz]

with recent threats and the movie red dawn, it really makes you think and wonder what would happen if such a thing really happened. Would you comply? or you you be a rebel?

Last time i checked america wasn't free..


 

[rainman306]

I would not say America is 100% free, over years it will become less and less free to an extent.

There are many laws and rules to be followed that prevent you from being truly free.  Also, since USA is a mega-capitalist counttry the less money you have the less free you are to do what you want when you want.

I think it well always be free if not I won't be here to see it.

[monnee]

The USA is the land of the free.   

[rghvac69]

The American people will decide if we will always be free or not.  Staying informed and being vigilant is the key to opposing tyranny.

I never could figure out being free here or in Russia...whats the difference?

[moonangel]

r we free now?? last time I checked  it looked like we cant even voice our opinions outloud,no one wants anyone to be an individual, some think that we need rules for absolutely everything  cant even quote the bible without losing your job please someone tell me how we are free, you go to the bank withdraw money to maybe go get a car and they have to know why you r removing your own money

[countrygirl12]

I don't think we will.  I think we will eventually be a communist nation.  Things are being put in place now and have been being set up for the past 6 years.

I do hope America remains free to the context mentioned here, but due to the movies with similar themes to Red Dawn I figure people are still worried.

with recent threats and the movie red dawn

I don't think that's a fairly accurate way of looking at our situation realistically. Depending on what version of Red Dawn you're looking at, both are very fictional scenarios. Russia and the US have always been grunting at each other, but the fact that we've avoided a nuclear war says there's competent people on both ends that would rather avoid such a situation.

China also depends a lot on the US for business, so attacking us wouldn't make a lot of sense (there's no reason china attacked the US in the red dawn remake...). That, and the whole "China is going to be the next super power!" aspect seems to be dying down due to all of their recent social problems brought to light.

America hasn't really been free since the military industrial complex got so epically gigantic. With recent things like the NSA coming to light and the TSA going overboard with searches, you are not free. You're definitely a lot more free than the majority of the other countries out there, but there's still a lot to be wished for in this country. We're slowly seeing some good changes though.

The USA is the land of the free

And yet I can get ticketed 50$ for walking my dog in an open park at dusk! AUGH!

I think we will eventually be a communist nation.  Things are being put in place now and have been being set up for the past 6 years.

I would say more socialist than communist. And there's a lot of pros and cons that come with that statement. But it has always been predicted that a capitalist society needs to adapt into a socialist society once they reach certain sizes.

You're really grasping at straws for new Jehovah's Witnesses, aren't ya?

[acurtsinger2]

the only way the u.s. would lose it's freedom would be to completely wipe it off the map.  nuclear war is always a threat, but that would be the only way

[southernhorizons]

I've never seen the movie Red Dawn, but how about just looking around you at real life? More and more rules and regulations, political correctness that stifles free speech, the government making "laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion" in public against the first amendment, or condoning a particular religion (exempting the Amish from Obamacare, but not allowing everyone to be exempt if they have religious objections, amounts to condoning that particular religion), attacking the second amendment every chance they get.
The clear answer is, no, America is not really a free country now, and it will be less and less free as time goes on. Too many people have the idea that America is the "land of the free," just by being an American we are automatically free no matter what happens.

I don't think this country will ever be free. As long as Obama is in office it will  get worse. that Obama care just made my job take what little health insurance away that I had at work. Now at the first of the year we won't have any health insurance for us part timers.
