Individual Freedoms versus the Common Good, Part 2 of 2, from Thinkwell's American Government

[txflyguy40]

we live in a republic not a democracy. This democratic ideaology has infected the principles of freedom. now serves tryanny within the USA. The progressives need to be rounded up and tossed.

This sounds like a progressives plea to alter and change what is right amongst men that we all have a right unless it offends another. I personnally don't like other trying to persuad me I should give up my inalienable right because they feel uncomfortable. Remember we are all free to not maintain our rights but you have no right to take away mine.

@txflyguy40 You have to remember that this is a principle of democracy. I've seen this happen locally with imminent domain, and even certain taxes could be considered as such. Censorship is another example. Not saying it's right or wrong, just that it is occurring all the time in our government.
