Is This The America, We Now Live In?

    America,  may not be totally dead yet but I think a strong case could be made that she is certainly on life support and could die sometime in the not to distant future.Whether we know or not very slowly over the years,  the government has been on a subtle campaign to take away our basic rights.The constitution says, all Americans, have a basic right to freedom of speech. I find however,  that lately,  that seems to depend a lot on what is said,  and who is saying it!
    Professional golfer Phil Mickelson, dared to suggest recently,  that he might quit playing professional gulf or at least leave the state of California,  because  the taxes in California, are  particularly high on those that are considered wealthy. It seems, that Governor Jerry Brown,  just like President Obama,  wants to make sure that the wealthy in California, pay there fair share. I guess Phil,  didn't think it was all that fair but it appears,  that someone in the media or the press or perhaps someone in his professional inner circle persuaded Phil Micklson, to apologize for his personal statement on taxes in California, for he  issued an apology as follows;"Finances and taxes are a personal matter, and I should have never made my opinions on them public. I apologize to those I have upset or insulted and assure you that I intend to not let it happen again." Translation? Keep your mouth shut Phil,  your a rich professional gofer and a popular celebrity who is supposed to follow the liberal progressive political agenda so shut up and fall in line! Really? This is the free America,  we now live in?
    I have noticed however that liberals,who are in lock step with President Obama's liberal progressive agenda for this country are free to say in word or in print pretty much,  whatever they want to. CBS News Political Director John Dickson, wrote in his column for Slate  if Obama,  wants to trans form politics Obama, must declare war and the Republican Party,  and he went on to say, that Obama,  must pulverize and destroy his Republican opponents, if he leave any kind of legacy. WOW! so much for fair and balanced journalism at CBS and then they wonder why most reasonable conservatives prefer to watch FOX News!
    Lets face it,  America's freedoms, are under a serious liberal progressive attack. If the Republicans, are waiting for a good time to take a stand for a return to fiscally conservative principals I would suggest now would be a good time to take that stand while they still can otherwise it might be the Republicans,  last stand.think about it, are Americans,  really ready to be told what they can and can not say? Is this the America, we now live in? As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
